Keynote from the CEO

General overview

Considering the challenging economic climate, we embarked on 2023 with cautious optimism. The year was expected to be defined by high inflation, high interest rates, and geopolitical turmoil, with possible adverse effects on Eleving Group. To mitigate the potential negative impacts, our main focus therefore was on portfolio quality, processes, cost efficiency, and diversification of our funding structure. Also, decisions related to mitigating the negative impact of FX were not overlooked.

We now see that, after slightly slower first few months, our business gradually gathered momentum in the following period, with the Group recording the best-ever results at the end of the year. The strong financial results were derived from a well-diversified business structure, accompanied by organic growth, and reinforced by the leading position of our subsidiaries in their respective markets. Also, our customer payment discipline remained strong thanks to our previously made decisions on tightening the Group's underwriting policies and customer solvency checks. On top of that, the Group managed to successfully reduce the cost of risk, compared to the previous year. This was a year that was marked by corporate maturity and procedural quality.

Products and processes

Several notable developments occurred in the realm of products and processes. Firstly, integrating the consumer lending business in Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho significantly broadened the Group's global footprint. This strategic move bolstered the Group's net portfolio by approximately EUR 28 mln and paved the way for expansion into the Sub-Saharan region, with a tailored consumer product catering to public administration employees.

During the year, the company has also strengthened its position across the existing product mix while offering its customers an even better experience than before. A few projects worth mentioning are the automation of mobile wallet (M-Kopa) statement analysis in Kenya, the launch of a second-generation customer cabinet in Romania, the launch of additional credit line functionality in Albania, and car auction functionality in KE and LT. All these projects were focused on improving customer experience and optimizing back-end processes.

Additionally, it's worth highlighting the successful sale of the Renti+ business in Latvia. Once the company understood that developing such a product further would be more challenging in a peak interest rate environment, it quickly decided to sell the business and release resources to focus on developing the Group's core products. In the meantime, OX Drive car-sharing business reached a revenue of EUR 1 mln and now operates a fleet of more than 150 electric cars.

Capital management

Eleving Group's capital management strategy proved remarkably effective regarding the diversification of the

funding sources and alignment with sustainable business practices. One of the key events in 2023 was the issue of Eleving Group 2023/2028 senior secured and guaranteed bonds in the amount of EUR 50 mln. It significantly improved the Group's debt maturity profile, helped to refinance around half of Mogo AS 2021/2024 bonds maturing on 31 March 2024, and attracted over 2000 new investors, mainly from the Baltics.

The Group's collaboration with impact funds in 2023 resulted in lower funding costs and contributed to the boost of our green products, exemplified by the USD 7 mln investment from Verdant Capital Hybrid Fund in the Kenyan portfolio. Furthermore, strategic partnerships with international investment funds provided flexibility

in meeting the needs of our subsidiaries, like in the case of Mogo Romania, where we laid a foundation for a EUR 10 mln investment from ACP Credit that was received in early 2024. Additionally, despite slightly higher costs, the collaboration with Mintos offered flexibility in capital raising, reflecting Eleving Group's commitment to adaptability and responsiveness to market conditions.

In the near future, the company aims to continue to raise as much as possible in local currencies to cover most of the FX fluctuations and minimize the related risks.

This year, it was done by expanding the local note programs in Kenya and Botswana and attracting local bank financing. Overall, Eleving Group's fundraising strategy in 2023 underscored a balanced approach toward the cost of capital and funding objectives, setting a solid foundation for sustained growth in the future.

Sustainability

This year, we have strengthened our position in the green mobility market, as evidenced by growing customer interest in our electric motorcycle financing solutions in Kenya and electric car-sharing services in Latvia. Although we currently hold a relatively small share of the Kenyan electric motorcycle financing market, the business has the potential to grow tenfold in the coming years. Our projections originate from analyzing customers' interest in more sustainable mobility and considering the recently introduced retrofitting product, which enables us to convert used ICE motorcycles into electric ones, significantly extending their life cycle. We expect organic demand for this product already in 2024. In the meantime, the Group is preparing to introduce an electric motorcycle financing service in Uganda. Our decisive action to promote green mobility has reduced the average CO2 intensity of the Group's vehicle portfolio, bringing us closer to the Group's climate goals. To strengthen our climate mitigation actions, we have also

implemented several carbon offsetting projects in Kenya and Ethiopia that helped us fully offset the carbon footprint of the Riga and Vilnius headquarters.

Meanwhile, in the social area, we are continuing our work on educating consumers on financial literacy through our interactive platform launched early this year. More than 30,000 consumers globally have completed online selfassessment and evaluated their financial health, gaining valuable suggestions on managing their money more effectively. We have also contributed to local communities, for example, by educating motorcyclists on road safety in Kenya, taking part in environmental clean-up activities, promoting the well-being of employees and their families, and carrying out several charity campaigns.

Summary

To wrap up, this year has presented its fair share of challenges, yet it has been successful for our company. We have witnessed solid growth, made prudent decisions that delivered the expected outcomes, and fortified our financial position to ensure long-term growth of our global operations. As we turn our focus to 2024, we anticipate new opportunities for expansion and accelerated growth, bringing positive news and significant developments for our investors' and partners' community.

The Integrated Report of Eleving Group discloses sustainability information of Eleving Group along with its key operating entities: AS 'mogo' (Latvia), Primero Finance OÜ (Estonia), UAB 'mogo LT' (Lithuania), Mogo LLC (Georgia), Mogo IFN SA (Romania), O.C.N.

The Integrated Report covers the period from 1 January until 31 December 2023.

Please send any questions or suggestions regarding the report to [email protected].

The report is made public on April 30, 2024.

The EU Taxonomy regulation is a classification system of environmentally sustainable economic activities.1 The regulation aims to direct capital flows towards projects and activities that contribute to at least one of the EU's six environmental objectives:

    1. Climate change mitigation.
    1. Climate change adaptation.
    1. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources.
    1. The transition to a circular economy.
    1. Pollution prevention and control 6. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Companies within the scope of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD)2 must disclose taxonomy-related information following the methodology and implementation timeframe of the disclosure obligation as specified in the Disclosures Delegated Act.3 In the 2022 annual report, Eleving Group will disclose information regarding its exposures to taxonomy-eligible and non-eligible activities in line with article 10(2) of the Disclosures Delegated Act. Currently, the eligible activities concern the first two objectives of the Taxonomy regulation: climate change mitigation and adaptation.4

1 234 278 0.3%
- 0%

Eleving Group's exposures to taxonomy-eligible activities comprise leases for vehicles, loans backed by vehicles, and used vehicle rental services. These loans directly relate to activities that fit the description of section 6.5 of the Climate Delegated Act Annex I: Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles.1 The exposures to taxonomy-non-eligible activities include unsecured consumer loans, vehicle loans granted outside the EU, and loans to companies not subject to the disclosure obligations under the NFRD.

Eleving Group has set targets to reduce the climate impact of its portfolio related to these activities (see section Striving for climate impact reduction and adaptation). These climate targets relate to product design and engagement with clients. However, these targets are not considered in compliance with the Taxonomy regulation because it is currently difficult to estimate the availability and accessibility of information required to demonstrate that Eleving Group financing activities are taxonomy-aligned. This approach will be reviewed in the coming years, pending the feasibility of proving alignment.

Business lines

Eleving Group runs two business lines: vehicle finance

consumer finance

Eleving Group runs two business lines: vehicle finance and consumer finance. In the vehicle finance segment, the Group offers vehicle leasing, leaseback, subscription, rental, rent-to-buy, and car-sharing products. In the consumer products segment, the Group offers single payment and installment loans, credit lines, and long-term unsecured loans.

The Group provides vehicle financing products in ten markets—Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Romania, Moldova, Armenia, Uganda, Kenya, and Uzbekistan. In the consumer financing segment, the Group is present in seven markets – Albania, Moldova, North Macedonia, and the newly integrated Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho.

The Group's business lines comprise several products and services that fill the funding gap and create new opportunities for people who previously did not have access to finance or private means of transport. The Group's main products can be split into three categories:

Lease and leaseback products in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Romania, Armenia, Moldova,

Uzbekistan, Kenya, and Uganda.

Flexible lease and subscriptionbased products — motorcycle taxis in Kenya and Uganda, used vehicle rental in Latvia and Lithuania, and electric car-sharing in Latvia.

Consumer lending products installment loans, credit lines, single payment loans in Albania, Moldova, and North Macedonia, and longterm consumer loans for public administration employees in Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho.

Eleving Vehicle Finance offers a finance lease and leaseback to customers in all its countries of operation. Under a finance lease, Eleving Group purchases a customer-selected vehicle; the lessee can then use the vehicle during the lease period and pay a series of installments. The purchased vehicles are 1 to 23 years old, with the majority in the range of 12 to 18 years. After repaying the principal, the lessee becomes the vehicle's legal owner. Under a leaseback contract, Eleving Group purchases a vehicle directly from the customer; the customer then continues to use the vehicle and pays monthly installments. After repaying the principal, the customer again becomes the vehicle's legal owner.

The finance lease and leaseback are Eleving Group's core products and currently represent 45.8% of the total net loan portfolio as at 31 December 2023. Eleving Group also offers multiple flexible lease and subscriptionbased products, accounting for 21.4% of the portfolio. In Lithuania, the Group offers rent-to-buy solutions to customers looking for maximum flexibility, allowing them to return or exchange the vehicle any time. In Eastern Africa, the company provides productive lending for new motorcycles and three-wheelers for passenger transport or delivery of goods. These lending products specifically target self-employed riders and small entrepreneurs who rely on their motorcycles to generate income and support their families. During the year, the Group also launched a new initiative in Kenya—retrofitting internal combustion engine motorcycles to electric ones. The main objective of this product is to further the introduction of sustainable mobility in Kenya and to give a second life to used motorcycles, thereby extending their life cycle.

Mogo is the dominant brand in the used vehicle finance segment. Services are delivered through websites, mobile platforms, and an extensive network of dealers, brokers, and branches. In certain markets, the Group extends its offering to include rent-to-buy solutions, motorcycle subscription services, and financing for higher-end vehicles through strategic partnerships with local banks, primarily under the Primero brand. In 2022, the Group expanded its product range to include the car-sharing service OX Drive. This is an app through which an electric car-sharing service is offered in Riga and other nearby cities. As of 31 December 2023, 139 Tesla cars of several models under the OX Drive brand provide a high-end and eco-friendly mobility experience for people who need a car for short distances and periods.

Eleving Vehicle Finance's business model capitalizes on the growing global demand for mobility and high-quality used vehicles in the Group's markets. This model is implemented through an innovative, data- driven, and rapid process, supported by strategic IT investments, robust controls, effective debt collection, and direct collaborations with used car dealer networks. The emphasis on secured lending against vehicle titles has enabled Eleving Group to carve out a unique niche in the financial services market, positioning itself as a pioneer with distinct advantages in economies of scale. Before the establishment of Mogo in 2012, there was no convenient financing alternative for used vehicles older than five years in the Baltic region.

Eleving's Consumer Finance business focuses on markets lacking financial inclusion and having communities underserved by conventional financial institutions. There is usually no "middle ground" between difficult-to-access bank finance and very limited, expensive short-term loans. Eleving Consumer Finance companies are often the only lenders offering online and offline customer service experiences for diverse customer groups. With over 160 branches in Moldova, North Macedonia, Albania, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho, Eleving Consumer Finance companies offer flexible financial products—from credit lines to installment loans, providing access to substantial funds to customers that meet the Group's credit assessment benchmarks. This business line accounts for 32.8% of the Group's total portfolio.

The main product in the Eleving Consumer Finance portfolio is a long-term unsecured loan with regular, fixed monthly payments. Interest rates differ based on the product, loan size, and term, with decreasing pricing for longer maturities. A customer may repay the outstanding loan balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments set in the loan agreement terms.

The Group's vehicle and consumer finance business lines have separate management teams. Having a larger operational volume and geographical presence, Eleving Vehicle Finance's business operations are managed through two regional hubs—Eleving Africa & Asia and Eleving Europe. The Group's headquarters for both business lines are in Riga, Latvia, and Vilnius, Lithuania.

Product universe

Company provides various financing and mobility products which can also be categorized into pure financing products and services. Financing products include traditional lease, leaseback products and consumer financing products, accounting for 79% of the Group's total net portfolio as of December 2023. Services include flexible lease and subscription-based products, accounting for 21% of the Group's total net portfolio as of December 2023. Despite, many service products are accounted as financing, they

region.

The Group relies on certain services provided by third parties, such as banks, local consumer credit agencies, IT service providers, and debt-collection agencies. An inability to maintain existing business relationships with them and other third-party providers or the failure by these thirdparty providers to maintain the quality of their services or otherwise provide their services to the Group may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, operational results, prospects, or cash flows.

Clients

The typical client of Eleving Group mobility products is a working-class person who frequently uses a vehicle for daily commuting and as an instrument to make a living for them and their family. It is a person looking for a convenient and easy-to-understand financial product with fast onboarding and simple use. Customers of Eleving Group's Vehicle Finance prefer to drive used premium-class vehicles since such vehicles perform better, depreciate less and have cheaper maintenance costs due to a welldeveloped aftermarket. For most customers, a car is not a nice-to-have item but a necessity to travel to their workplace or earn income. The Group also serves small and medium enterprises that need quick financial solutions to solve mobility issues in their businesses. Most of Eleving Group's Vehicle Finance customers are males aged 21 to 59. A significant part of used car sales occurs at physical locations where potential customers can see and test a car while interacting with a seller directly. Because of this trend, Eleving Group introduced dedicated partner account managers and specific partner programs to establish close business relationships with used car sellers.

As of 31 December 2023, Eleving Group has signed Cooperation Contracts with more than 2,200 car dealerships.

Our consumer segment clients encompass diverse individuals seeking tailored financial solutions to meet specific needs and goals. They often try to address urgent cash flow needs, mainly related to unexpected expenses. Eleving Group's Consumer Finance customers are equally divided by gender and fall within an age range of 21 to 59. Our offerings provide flexible terms and competitive rates, empowering clients to achieve their aspirations with personalized support. Usually, these are customers underserved by traditional banks due to the low-ticket size, inefficient underwriting process, complicated and inefficient loan application process, and long turnaround times for such loans.

Sustainability

Approach and scope

Eleving Group is committed to creating lasting value by promoting responsible financial behavior and practices. The company actively assesses the societal impact of its business operations, considers the interests and expectations of key stakeholders, and strives to contribute to a more sustainable future. As a global financial technology group with a broad reach, Eleving Group advocates for sustainable business practices and empowers its clients to seize opportunities that result in positive social and economic impacts. In various sustainability criteria, the group serves as a pioneer, introducing Western European values and incentives to developing countries, thereby improving the well-being of diverse and vulnerable communities.

The Group is fully aware of the impact of its activities and its responsibility towards customers, regulators, shareholders, employees, business partners, and communities in which it operates, and is guided by the following sustainability principles:

  • Compliance with high responsibility standards from a legal, ethical, economic, social, and environmental perspective.
  • Commitment to balancing economic success with environmental and social responsibility.
  • Responsible lending at the core of the business; continuous integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into the lending process.
  • Promotion of transparent communication and open dialogue with our stakeholders.

To implement these commitments, the Group's most significant impacts have been identified, measurable targets set, and the progress on reaching these has been publicly reported. Above all, Eleving Group is transparent about direct and indirect impacts on the environment, societies, and economies where it operates.

Materiality analysis

In 2022, Eleving Group conducted a materiality analysis to define the most relevant sustainability issues to the Group. The materiality analysis considered the nature of the business operations and the value chain of the Group, and various environmental, social, and governance impacts that its activities directly or indirectly might make or be affected by, and then prioritized these different ESG aspects through the following lenses:

  • Stakeholder expectations (online survey and 1:1 interviews).
  • Relevance from the management's point of view (workshops).
  • Trends seen from a peer review (desktop analysis).

As part of stakeholder engagement, Eleving Group's managers of different functions and business units selected the most important stakeholders to be invited to do a survey on sustainability. Altogether, around 150 stakeholders and experts from around 130 organizations contributed to the Group's efforts in developing a systematic approach to sustainability, environmental and social aspects, and responsible business conduct. The table below summarizes the findings, indicating stakeholder expectations regarding priority sustainability areas.

Approach to sustainability reporting

Eleving Group evaluates its non-financial performance based on internationally recognized metrics that hold high esteem within the global investor community. Consequently, in 2021, the Group initiated its sustainability reporting initiative, employing the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework. This ensures that key stakeholders receive pertinent information for making well-informed decisions regarding the Group's capacity to generate value over the short, medium, and long term. Eleving Group considers ESG data a significant performance indicator for all primary stakeholders and society. As a result, in 2021, the Group commenced a seamless transition to a regular and strategically guided sustainability reporting process.

Climate change mitigation and adaption

The global economy must undergo system-wide change to keep global warming under two degrees. Eleving Group takes an active role within its sphere of influence to promote the pursuit of a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy, focusing on low-emission mobility.

Climate change is already an important strategic consideration for Eleving Group. Eleving Group acknowledges that not only does climate change have an impact on its own business, but the Group's financing decisions can also facilitate the transition to low-carbon, sustainable societies. Eleving Group is committed to implementing decarbonization measures in line with the Paris Agreement and reducing its environmental footprint in the coming years through product-related activities, such as launching electric car sharing and offering financial incentives (discounts) for 'green' vehicles.

Climate change mitigation and adaptation are included as a priority area in Eleving Group's Strategic ESG Program 2022-2025, developed in 2021, and the Group's management has set the following goals:

Measure CO2 intensity (average gCO2 /km tailpipe emissions), report transparently, and reduce the CO2 emissions intensity of the funded fleet annually.

  • Educate customers and society about CO2 emissions intensity and provide incentives to move to green mobility vehicles.
  • Reach climate neutrality of the administrative operations by 2025.

In 2023, Eleving Group took several strategic actions to meet these commitments to promote green mobility. The Group continued to expand its e-boda financing service in Kenya, while in Latvia, an electric car-sharing service under the OX Drive brand was rolled out further. In 2023, the Group's clients commuted around 3.2 mln kilometers on pure electricity. In addition, in Q4, the Group's subsidiary, Mogo Kenya, launched a motorcycle retrofitting service. It's an opportunity to swap the engine of one's fuelbased motorcycle for a battery, turning it into an electric motorcycle and extending its life cycle. The Group also educates its customers on more sustainable decisions through daily communication—it has introduced a CO2 metric on all Eleving Group sales portals, thus promoting eco cars to all customers visiting the websites. By providing new and environmentally friendly products and educating customers, in 2023, the Group reduced the average CO2 intensity arising from its car portfolio by 4%.

Vehicle finance portfolio climate impact

As part of its ESG proposition, Eleving Group is committed to actively shaping the transition to a low-carbon economy and mobility. This will be achieved by fostering green mobility among customers—by offering new green products and raising customer awareness of sustainable consumption, thus encouraging them to make more sustainable choices.

Eleving Group has set the reduction of CO2 intensity of its funded fleet as the primary goal in the Strategic ESG Program 2022–2025. The Group intends to reach its ambitions by promoting green vehicle financing and focusing on productive

lending (see section Fostering responsible access to finance). To assess the current climate impact of the Group's portfolio, a CO2 calculation methodology was developed internally in 2022. After exploring different approaches and available data sources, it was decided to use the database of the Road Traffic Safety Directorate of Latvia (hereinafter CSDD (Latvian abbreviation)). The database was compared with the European Environment Agency's (EEA) CO2 emissions calculations for new passenger cars, and the results were very similar. Since the CSDD database covers the period of 2004–2020 as opposed to EEA's 2010+, it was decided that the CSDD database will provide better coverage.

In the CSDD database for 2004-2020, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) method was used, but starting from 2021-2022, the method was changed to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) developed by the European Union. Since the WLTP method gives slightly higher CO2 emission results, the impact of the methodology change should be estimated before it can be used in calculations.

The CSDD database contains data on vehicle fuel type, year, engine capacity, transmission type, brand, and model. Since the nature of the data on Eleving Group's side did not correspond to that of CSDD and to avoid manual monitoring of all current entries in the Group's database, it was decided to group the data by:

Average CO2 emissions of the portfolio by loan issued date, g/km (2023, excluding Africa and Asia hub)

Eleving Group Excluding Africa and Asia hub

vehicle year

  • fuel type
  • engine capacity

For each vehicle matching the group, the average CO2 consumption from the CSDD database was used. For vehicles that did not match the group, exception rules were created:

  • Boda-boda's (motorbike taxis in Kenya and Uganda) formed 56.2% (count-wise) of loans in the Group's vehicle finance portfolio in 2023. Their emissions have been estimated at 40g per km used. The International Council on Clean Transportation suggested using 21-35g per km for boda boda, but according to Ecoscore, the estimated consumption is 1.8l/100km: 1.81L/100km*2392g=43g per km and 1.61L/100km*2392g=39g per km.

Direct environmental impact

Carbon-neutral company

Although the Group's main climate impact arises from its portfolio, Eleving Group aims to become climate-neutral in its administrative operations by 2025, and it continuously works on maintaining high environmental standards in all its offices.

To pursue climate impact mitigation, the Group started tracking its carbon footprint in 2021—a carbon footprint assessment was introduced at Eleving Group's headquarters.

According to an assessment carried out in 2021 by Carbon Footprint Ltd, the Group's HQs in Riga and Vilnius generate 114 tCO2 annually. To offset the carbon footprint arising from the HQ operations, Eleving Group participated in carbon offsetting projects in Kenya and Ethiopia. For the consecutive year, the Group co-financed the reforestation of the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, while for the first time, it participated in the Northern Ethiopia Community Safe Water project, aiming to provide clean water to local communities of Amhara National Regional State.

The Group is committed to reducing the climate impact of its HQ through energy efficiency and using renewable energy Group-wide. By 2025, 100% of all Eleving Group's offices, where suppliers can be selected, will use renewable energy.

Eleving Group HQ is based in Riga, Latvia, in Skanstes City, a brand-new multifunctional business district, one of only a few BREEAM In-Use certified office complexes in Latvia. BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is an environmental certification system from the UK. Developed in 1990, it is one of the oldest environmental certification systems used to certify buildings. This is the most widely used system in Europe.

Modern office

Modern offices, developed infrastructure, and sustainability was among the top reasons for the Group to choose Skanstes City. At the end of 2020, Eleving Group's office was certified as an energy-efficient workplace, receiving the BREEAM In-Use assessment of "Very Good," an upgrade from the sustainability assessment of "Good."Group`s premises, the water usage is kept in check across all offices.

Also, significant investments were made into modernizing the ventilation systems, making technical upgrades, and improving the HQ's public spaces, accessibility, and cycling infrastructure. After renovation, it became one of Riga's most modern and sustainable office buildings in its class. Eleving Group is committed to keeping other environmental impacts of its offices to a bare minimum: reducing paper,

water, waste, and other resource consumption intensity Group-wide.

While the Group's focus is placed on reducing resource consumption, waste reduction and recycling are also considered. The Group`s HQ has already implemented a range of waste optimization initiatives, such as a zero-paper policy and reducing plastic waste. A deposit waste collection system has been introduced in the Riga and Vilnius offices since 2022.

To provide Eleving Group's HQ staff with fresh and clean drinking water, the office is equipped with water dispensers to save water and reduce plastic waste. By using an average of 1.94 m3/m2 of water in 2021 at all Group`s premises, the water usage is kept in check across all offices.

Office initiatives

Eleving Group understands the importance of protecting the environment and is committed to ensuring that the company is doing its part to reduce the environmental impact arising from its business. Almost every month, an activity is carried out at the Group level to raise employee awareness of sustainable alternatives to various daily habits. For example, the Group's HQ regularly educates employees on reducing resource consumption in internal seminars and through announcements on internal TV screens at the offices. The Group actively participates in the Earth Hour campaign, and during the warmer months, it promotes bicycles as an alternative mobility solution to cars. One month every year is dedicated to climate topics, and relevant activities are carried out. Since late 2023, the Group has introduced an internal monitoring of resource usage that helps track:

  • Monthly energy consumption (electricity), MWh/m2.
  • Monthly energy consumption (electricity), MWh/ employee.
  • Monthly energy consumption (electricity), MWh in total.
  • Monthly paper consumption, t.
  • Water consumption, m3.
  • Water consumption, m3/employee.
  • Waste generation, t.
  • Waste generation, t/employee.
  • Recycled waste, t in total.

It is planned that throughout 2024, Eleving Group and its subsidiaries will monitor resource usage to reduce consumption levels; therefore, several internal activities will be carried out, and the progress report will be published in 2024.

Ensuring employees' growth and well-being

Eleving Group's success depends on its team— the management and employees. Eleving Group aims to be an employer of choice, constantly developing a working environment in all markets where it operates and where every employee feels safe, healthy, and comfortable.

Remuneration Policy

Eleving Group has always stood up for fair pay and social and health guarantees. The Group rewards employees based on their performance and contribution to the company while considering factors like location and cost of living. Employees are also provided with competitive benefits packages and are encouraged to use development opportunities offered by the company. The Group's Remuneration Policy states that each employee is entitled to a salary review once per calendar year as a part of the performance review. Employees who have worked for a full calendar year are eligible for a bonus equivalent to two salaries, which is paid in addition to their regular salary.

Eleving Group believes a fair and transparent tax system is vital to a well-functioning society. The Group pays maximum attention to all tax-related procedures, complying with local and international legislation, legal requirements, and acceptable business standards. This especially applies to labor taxes, where the Group maintains a rigorous tax discipline.

Diverse and inclusive workplace

Eleving Group employs people of various cultural backgrounds, genders, and ages. The Group is represented by people coming from over 20 different nations. Therefore, diversity and equal opportunities are essential to Eleving Group's human resources strategy.

The Group ensures that employees are treated fairly and are provided with equal opportunities. Eleving Group is committed to creating and maintaining an open, inclusive work environment free from discrimination and harassment. No one, internal employees or external candidates, should feel discriminated against or harassed in recruitment, promotion, or employment processes.

Non-Discrimination Policy

Managing a diverse and flexible workforce with the right competencies is vital to ensuring quality, innovation, and growth. The Group's Equality, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination Policy is enforced at all Eleving Group companies.

The Group's Equality, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination Policy sets out the following principles:

  • Equality—all humans are born equal. Therefore, equal treatment of all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, cultural background, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, or other factors, is our overriding priority.
  • Zero-tolerance against discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and victimization.
  • Respect for individual differences concerning ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, religion, and other factors.

This policy applies to the Group`s management, employees, agency workers, contractors, business partners, and suppliers.

The policy applies to all work-related activities, including but not limited to recruitment and selection, conditions and benefits, training and promotion, task allocation, shifts, hours, leave arrangements, workload, equipment, as well as interpersonal relationships at work, related situations such as travel, events, and after-work gatherings.

To ensure full compliance and adherence to the policy throughout the Group, continuous work is being done to raise employee awareness of diversity issues.

In September 2021, Eleving Group voluntarily joined the Latvian Diversity Charter. It contains 15 commitments promoting diversity in workplaces around Latvia. By signing the Diversity Charter, the Group commits to promoting diversity and equal opportunities for its staff.

According to Fontes, a Baltic human resources consultancy firm, the ratio of women to men in the financial services sector is 66% to 34%. Eleving Group's gender diversity ratio stands at 54% women to 46% men across all positions as of the end of 2023. Gender diversity in the Group and among senior roles is measured monthly. As of 31 December 2023, the ratio of women to men in entry-to-mid-level positions was 55% to 45%, respectively, while in senior-level positions, the ratio was 45% to 55%.

At Eleving Group, we aim to establish a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, ensuring that all individuals are valued and treated with respect. Our team's diversity enriches our collective knowledge and collaboration, driving us towards achieving our objectives. We cultivate an environment that promotes both personal development and career advancement.

Signing of the Latvian Diversity Charter

Eleving Group has a grievance mechanism in place employees can report harassment and discrimination incidents directly to their local human resources representative or global human resources. There is also

Senior level (Gender ratio) Entry, mid-level (Gender ratio)

a TrustLine, Eleving Group's whistleblowing tool, to be used as a reporting tool if (i) an incident concerns persons in leading positions and (ii) it concerns severe cases of discrimination or harassment.

Family-friendly workplace

The Group offers its staff several fringe benefits to foster an inclusive working environment. Among other things, Eleving Group focuses on solutions that prevent working parents from choosing between career and family. Eleving Group provides working parents with a support package that includes a room designated for children at the company office, flexible working hours, additional leave according to the company's internal policies, and professional childcare service once a year for three weeks in July at the company's HQ. Eleving Group has also developed and implemented a re-onboarding plan for colleagues returning from parental leave. The plan aims to promote a smoother return to the work environment, design an adapted work schedule for the first month of return, and determine the duties of direct managers during the reintegration process. In 2021, Eleving Group was named a Family-Friendly Workplace. To earn this title, an employer has to facilitate measures to reconcile work and family life.

The Family-Friendly Workplace program is run by the Society Integration Foundation of Latvia, and its goal is to promote a family-friendly work environment in Latvia and to increase public awareness. Involvement in the Family-Friendly Workplace program motivates companies to introduce new solutions to enhance the well-being of working parents. In addition, the program provides an excellent opportunity to draw inspiration from other program participants and inspire change for those Latvian companies that are still considering joining the program.

Personal growth and development

One of Eleving Group's main goals is talent attraction, development, and retention. The Group is committed to helping employees realize their full potential at every stage of their careers. The Group's Personnel Management Policy aims to develop skilled and highly productive staff that successfully perform their duties.

Many senior management team members possess significant experience in the lending industry and knowledge of the regulatory and legal environment in the Group's markets. The senior management would be difficult to replace. The market for qualified individuals is highly competitive, and labor costs for hiring and training new employees are increasing.

In 2023, all C-level executives, senior managers, and country managers who had been with the company for more than one year received 360-degree feedback. Managers were assessed on their fit for the manager role being trustworthy, visionary, a strategist, a good coach who develops the potential of subordinates, etc. To ensure an accurate employee evaluation process and interpretation of the results, a management training on Feedback 360 was organized, providing tips on how to read the results and manage the feedback conversation. In 2023, all HQ staff received performance appraisals, and 98% received development interviews.

In 2023, Eleving Group promoted 250 staff members (121 in Eleving Vehicle Finance and 129 in Eleving Consumer Finance). Whenever possible, rather than searching for external talent, the Group seeks to promote employees capable of taking on new roles.

The Group has developed a comprehensive training program that provides internal and external professional training for employees at all levels. In 2023, 434 educational sessions were conducted across the Group, raising employees' competence and knowledge in workrelated and emotional balance areas. In addition, at the end of the year, it was decided that for HQ employees, from now on, part of the performance and bonus system will be linked to educational OKR, i.e., each employee will have one OKR per quarter linked to education and the minimum number of hours per quarter that must be spent on educational seminars, conferences, courses or selfeducation projects will be 8 hours.

Employee engagement and satisfaction are partially measured through Eleway Pulse, an employee survey conducted twice a year—in April and September. In 2022, the Group streamlined its internal employee survey based on the principles of Gallup's Q12 employee engagement survey. In 2023, the average response rate equaled 87%.

To measure employee satisfaction and loyalty, Eleving Group uses the Employer Net Promoter Score (eNPS) scoring system. In 2023, the score was 36.0, compared to 51.0 in 2022. The eNPS scores can range from +100 (mainly promoters) to -100 (mostly detractors); therefore, the score of Eleving Group in 2023 can still be considered healthy. Given the decline in performance, the Group in 2024 is committed to focusing more on the listed areas:

  • Learning and development more tailored for the individual needs of employees and the job specifics.
  • Goal setting more transparency in the goal setting, with clarification of employee roles, impact on the results, and outcomes.
  • Leadership upskilling leadership and social skills through individual or group sessions.
  • Talent management succession planning and growth to prepare robust, well-educated, and informed talents.

Employee' wellbeing strategy

Employee health, safety, and well-being have always been important to Eleving Group. Nevertheless, it was the COVID-19 pandemic that gave prominence to mental health, work-life balance, and employee well-being in the Group.

Eleving Group is committed to creating a safe working environment in all its countries. Compliance with local laws, adherence to the Group's Global Policy and Standards, and working towards health and safety objectives are all essential components of the Group's efforts to reduce risks and improve its health and safety record.

Workplace safety risks and hazards are prevented by implementing proper measures. First, as the law requires, workplace risks are assessed within the labor protection management system framework provided by FN Serviss, a workplace safety expert. All employees are regularly instructed on general work safety and during test fire alarms. At employee onboarding and annually, employees are provided with information, instructions, and training to work safely and take steps to protect themselves from hazards. In 2023, the Group registered 57 recordable injuries among employees, compared to 76 a year ago. Out of 57 injuries, 35% were minor, 61% were medium, while two recorded cases in Uganda were lethal. Injuries were related to workers performing duties with motorcycle taxis in Kenya and Uganda—either during field debt collections, boda-boda verification, or GPS Tracker installation. No injuries were recorded in other markets.

In addition, everyone must perform a compulsory health check with a certain regularity. Eleving Group's employees are provided with annual health insurance, which allows using a wide range of health services (laboratory tests, hospital and ambulatory services, dentistry, psychological therapy, and physiotherapy).

Management report Consolidated financial statements Report of the réviseur d'entreprises agréé 37

In 2023, Eleving Group spent around EUR 0.7 mln on health insurance coverage for employees, recording an increase in insurance budget by 17%, compared to 2022.

A healthy and active lifestyle is promoted and supported daily at Eleving Group. In addition to the safety instructions and training required by law, Eleving Group also provides employees with various types of informative training and activities to improve their well-being and health:

  • Seminars on healthy eating, mental health, managing emotions, and maintaining psychological balance in a dynamic work environment.
  • First aid training.
  • Company-paid weekly yoga classes for the HQ employees.
  • Company-paid volleyball training for the HQ employees.
  • Collective initiatives to promote physical activity during the summer months.
  • Gym coverage and swimming sessions via a health insurance policy.

Future talents

The future success of Eleving Group also depends on the company's ability to find and cultivate new talent. Eleving Group strives to help its staff grow by increasing their knowledge and experience.

In 2023, Eleving Group continued its internship program to provide the first professional experience to young people studying and starting their careers. In 2023, 91 students began internships in different departments and functions across the Group's countries.

At the same time, cooperation with the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, the leading business school in the Baltic region, continued. The cooperation included the Executive School, where the Group's CEO, Modestas Sudnius, educated students and experienced professionals in business management, innovation, market research, and many more.

Fostering responsible access to finance

Helping our customers make the right financial decisions lies at the core of the Eleving Group business. By generating stable financial returns for investors and providing access to innovative and sustainable financial solutions, Eleving Group seeks to make a significant social and economic impact. In the coming years, the Group is committed not only to working hard to maintain a culture that treats the Group's customers fairly but also to improving financial literacy in all markets where it operates. Eleving Group's corporate strategy is focused on impactmaking. By serving communities that conventional lenders underserve, Eleving Group brings disruptive change to the financial industry. By providing financial inclusion, the Group improves people's lives worldwide. The Group's ultimate purpose is to empower diverse communities worldwide by providing them with financial inclusion—thus enabling upward social mobility.

The Group's products are designed to offer customers simplicity, convenience, and transparency. Our online and offline products are designed to protect our customers' privacy, provide easy access to funding, and offer transparent fee and interest structures. A finance lease and leaseback are long-term loans (up to 84 months), while consumer loans are both short-term and long-term, with maturities ranging from 7 days to 48 months. For all products, customers are charged nominal interest and fees payable monthly on the outstanding principal amount. While penalty interests are charged for late loan payments, this is a minimal proportion of the Group's income and shows the resilience of its customer base.

Productive lending

Access to suitable and lasting financial services empowers economically disadvantaged individuals to boost their earnings, accumulate assets, and mitigate risks from external challenges. Eleving Group has revolutionized the pre-owned vehicle market by offering financial solutions to individuals with limited access to capital. In 2021, Mogo, the flagship brand within the Group, embarked on an innovative approach by extending productive lending services in emerging economies. Productive lending entails funding vehicles for customers to generate income or enhance earnings from their existing enterprises. This primarily involves financing boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis) and tuk-tuks (three-wheel taxis) in Kenya and Uganda.

A boda-boda is a small motorcycle widely used in Kenya for taxi services and cargo deliveries. It is estimated that the boda-boda industry provides over 1.5+ million jobs, which support another 6+ million Kenyans' (more than 11% of the population) livelihood. An estimated 60% of the motorcycles in Kenya are rented to the riders by fleet owners, not allowing the average rider to own the asset. With a Mogo lease, riders can pay similar or even lower monthly instalments compared to renting the motorcycle, and they will own it after the loan is repaid.

Since its launch in Kenya, Eleving Group has contributed to the economic inclusion and small business development of more than 93,500 boda-boda riders. Boda-bodas account for around 56% of the company's vehicle portfolio.

In 2023 Mogo launched financing for electric motorcycles to facilitate the adoption EVs. As of 1Q 2024, around 400 electric motorcycles were financed by Mogo in Kenya. It is intended to achieve at least 10x in absolute numbers in 2024 by further rolling out the product in Kenya and launching it in Uganda. In addition, the launch of a motorcycle retrofitting service was carried out in 4Q 2023. It is an opportunity to swap the engine of a fuelbased motorcycle for a battery, turning it into an electric motorcycle and extending its life cycle. Since the product launch at the end of 2023, several customers have already been funded to retrofit their motorcycles. It is estimated that this solution can save the customer up to USD 632 a year as compared to a regular ICE bike.

Therefore, over 20% of the Group's portfolio serves the self-employed and SMEs, thereby increasing economic inclusion and the prosperity of local communities.

The rationale behind promoting electric mobility in Kenya

  • Small entrepreneurs, by using Mogo Kenya's product, enjoy cheaper operating and lower maintenance costs, which increases their level of income from doing their business.
  • Financing electric motorcycles contributes to reducing CO2 emissions and noise levels in urban areas where internal combustion engine-powered vehicles still dominate.
  • By reducing air pollution, electric vehicles can contribute to better public health outcomes, decreasing respiratory illnesses and related healthcare costs.
  • Promoting electric mobility can create new economic

Responsible lending

Responsible and productive lending promoting economic inclusion lies at the core of Eleving Group's operations in the mobility and consumer segments.

Eleving Group and its subsidiaries always fully comply with the local regulatory institutions (Financial Services Supervisory authorities, Central Banks, Consumer Right Protection authorities, and/or Ministries of Finance/ Economy).

opportunities, including manufacturing, maintenance, and charging infrastructure development. This can stimulate the labor market and support local businesses.

  • Embracing electric mobility allows Kenya to leapfrog traditional automotive development stages and move directly to cleaner and more advanced technologies. This positions the country at the forefront of technological innovation.
  • General social impact by educating the local community about sustainability, climate issues, and ways to reduce the negative environmental impact of our daily commuting habits.
  • It's an opportunity to significantly extend the life span of the motorcycle.

Eleving Group also follows its internal standards on responsible lending and fair treatment; one of the fundamental principles of these standards is transparency. Eleving Group ensures that all the relevant information, including fees, key terms and conditions, legal documentation, and advertising, is clear, understandable, and accessible to clients.

Eleving Group's responsible lending principles

Eleving Group has two main business lines: secured lending via a finance lease and leaseback against the title of the vehicle and unsecured consumer lending. The Group's core focus stays on secured lending, which comprises more than 67% of the consolidated net loan portfolio as of 31 December 2023.

Consumer loans issued by Eleving Group are primarily used for everyday expenses or purchasing consumer goods and electronics. Eleving Group provides consumers with easy access to finance since it has both- a brick-and-mortar and online presence.

Once customers apply for a loan, their creditworthiness is determined through a sophisticated underwriting process that relies on data-driven statistical analysis as captured in Eleving Group's proprietary vehicle and consumer finance scoring models.

Across all its products, Eleving Group analyses customers' creditworthiness utilizing public and private databases (vehicle register information, databases of government institutions, debt collection agency databases, industry/peer company blacklists, and bank statement providers) and allocates a scoring band to each customer. The automated

scoring models are developed in-house and, depending on the relevant country, are either integrated into the customer relationship management systems or run on thirdparty cloud solutions.

Each loan application undergoes the following steps:

    1. Loan application processing and preliminary assessment.
    1. Risk assessment and scoring.
    1. Vehicle inspection (for finance lease and leaseback
  • products) and finalization of loan terms.
    1. Loan approval and disbursement of funds.

This allows Eleving Group to assess counterparty risk properly. The approval rate is exceptionally rigorous: in the 12-month period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023, of around 1,000,000 unique client loan applications, Eleving Group has kept an approval rate of 18.3% for vehicle finance and 37.2% for consumer finance.

Eleving Group seeks to work with an educated and informed customer; therefore, particular focus is placed on educating customers on financial literacy and promoting sustainable and climate-friendly decision-making.

Increasing financial literacy

The Group aims to contribute to building a prosperous and sustainable society and supports various social initiatives helping local communities. Eleving Group is committed to fostering financial literacy in society.

In 2022, Eleving Group developed www.smart.eleving. com, a financial literacy platform where anyone can assess the health of their existing loan commitments, determine whether new financial commitments would be feasible within their current budget, and find bits of advice on budgeting, debt management, saving, financial hygiene, and much more.

As of 31 December 2023, the platform is up and running in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Albania, Kenya, and Uganda. The platform will be localized in North Macedonia, Uzbekistan, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho in 2024. Over 30,000 unique consumers have taken the self-assessment, with the vast majority from Kenya, Tanzania, and Latvia. Launching a financial literacy platform expressed Eleving Group's commitment to educating its customers about personal finance and making informed financial decisions. The company aims to educate at least 500,000 consumers in the markets represented by the Group by 2025.

Every financial services provider seeks to engage with educated and informed customers who are aware of the fundamentals of financial management and can thoughtfully evaluate the opportunities and risks presented by financial products. Educating consumers about money is essential for responsible lending practices and building an economically inclusive society.

Customer experience

The Group's priority is to ensure a transparent and convenient customer journey. Customer satisfaction and operational excellence are essential for Eleving Group to meet its customers' needs once they choose to buy a new car or apply for a consumer loan.

Eleving Group has developed a customer service division with around 1,200 full-time employees as of 31 December 2023, delivering highly efficient customer support in local languages across all markets. Eleving Group continuously works to improve customer satisfaction by creating personal contact with its customers through telephone calls, e-mails,

and chats, among others, to discuss product options, address customers' questions, inform customers of their payment due dates, and encourage them to pay on time, discuss late payment arrangements, and help customers with their applications.

In addition, the Group carefully monitors specific customer service quality ratios, such as call waiting times and abandoned calls. Customer service quality is one of the reasons why customers return to Eleving Group for more services.

Debt collection

Eleving Group has established an efficient, effective, and responsible debt collection process in each country it operates. To ensure consistent quality of debt collection operations across the Group, Eleving Group has developed group-wide debt collection service standards that include (i) debt collection principles, (ii) best practices and requirements for the Debt Collection Departments, and (iii) internal procedures for each country to ensure practical knowledge sharing and continuous improvement of operations.

Eleving Group's debt collection team in each country utilizes debt collection measures that comply with local regulations. If the local regulations set standards lower than in other countries where the Group operates, Eleving Group applies the higher standard.

Eleving Group's strategy is focused on maximizing dialogue with customers. Before the loan becomes overdue, the Group has an automated reminder process that ensures that the client is aware of the upcoming payment and payment details.

On the first day when the payment is overdue, it enters the early debt collection process, where Eleving Group launches its automated reminder system (auto-calls, texts, e-mails) informing the customer about the overdue amount, further actions if the payment will not be made, and the Group's contacts to discuss further scenarios. Eleving Group constantly monitors the effectiveness of its automated system. In addition, the Group involves its inhouse debt collection officers who call all debtors according to a predetermined schedule (as early as Day 1 in some countries) to recover the payable amount, identify the reason for the delay, and, if necessary, offer restructuring possibilities where possible and economically viable. Before pursuing further debt collection activities, Eleving Group first aims to agree with a customer to find a solution for loan repayment. If an agreement is not reached until Day 30, the case moves to the next debt collection stage.

When Eleving Group ascertains that a customer can repay their loan, it offers various scenarios and a tailored repayment schedule. If the customer is unable to continue fulfilling their contractual obligations, a quick and efficient repossession of the collateral and subsequent sale of it is pursued, maintaining complete transparency with the customer about the process. In the case of unsecured loans, legal collection or debt sale is initiated.

Eleving Group largely handles all debt collection and car repossession activities in-house. The Group has gained substantial expertise in debt collection strategies over the years. In certain countries, Eleving Group outsources parts of the debt collection activities to test and compare the efficiency of internal versus external debt collection.

Eleving Group does not employ controversial debt collection practices, such as using a continuous payment authority or siphoning money from customers' bank accounts. Such methods are controversial and will or may become illegal in certain jurisdictions. Due to this fact, and from the customer relations and loyalty perspective, Eleving Group firmly believes that its business model is more sustainable, organic, and transparent.

Debt collection is improved through regular benchmarking, experience sharing, and targeted projects supervised by the Group's operations team to develop best practices across the Group.

The Group's approach to fundraising is twofold. On the one hand, the Group acquires wholesale financing in the EUR currency, evidenced by the bonds issued that serve as a backbone of the funding structure and provide mid- to long-term capital for the Group's multiple subsidiary businesses. This capital provides the company with the opportunity to execute goals and strategies across all markets.

Currently listed bonds (31 December 2023)

Bond Maturity 2024 2026 2028 2031
EUR 17 500 0001
(30 000 000)
150 000 000 50 000 000 25 000 000

On the other hand, the Group utilizes local currency funding, which helps avoid exposure to local currency potentially depreciating against the hard currency and operationally complex hedging solutions. In most cases, local currency funding is less expensive than the Group's funding when including hedging costs and other expenses. To execute local currency funding activities, the approach is multi-faced and depends on the country. The Group has already rolled out the local notes program, which is currently operational in Kenya and Botswana. Eleving Group is working on launching similar programs in a few other countries in 2024. For example, in the Kenya local note program, over EUR 13 mln have been raised for business development and portfolio growth. The local notes program gives more flexibility to the investors and local subsidiary.

Another strategic channel is impact funds. Given the Group's solid footprint in the African region, several impact funds are interested in helping the business to make social impact by funding productive needs of the local community. In many cases, such funding comes with considerably lower funding costs, but at the same time, with strict environmental requirements, such as investments in EV vehicle space, surrounding infrastructure, and climate impact mitigation. This funding avenue aligns with the Group's long-term sustainability and responsible lending goals. As an example, in 2023, Eleving Group raised USD 7 mln from the Verdant Capital Hybrid Fund for the Kenyan portfolio growth. Verdant Capital Hybrid Fund invests in companies that promote inclusive economic environments in African countries and aims to support financial institutions that work with SMEs and the self-employed segment, thereby creating new jobs and livelihood opportunities for economically vulnerable groups.

Also, international investment funds are in the Group's focus, especially those actively investing and having a mandate to invest in emerging economies in Europe, Asia, and Africa. For this funding avenue, the main benefit is the investor's vast experience, local know-how, and presence on the ground. Given Eleving Group's expertise in the investment funds channels, the due diligence process in most cases is quicker and more straightforward, and the funders are more flexible to the local business funding needs and loan issuance peculiarities. In 2023, the foundations were laid for cooperation with ACP Credit, Central Europe's leading provider of financing solutions for middle-market businesses. As a result, in early 2024, Mogo Romania received an investment of EUR 10 mln, making it the first time in the Group's history that a significant external funding partner outside the Mintos marketplace

was brought to Mogo Romania.

The diversification of the funding structure and risks is also taking place through bank financing. Eleving Group is often chosen as a reliable partner given its history and track record in local economies. The Group typically raises bank funding in local currencies to mitigate FX risks and gain additional flexibility in its overall capital structure.

In addition to these funding sources, the Group works intensively with the largest pan-European lending platform, Mintos. This source of capital has a slightly higher cost than bonds, as it is more exposed to the most current market conditions; however, it allows the company the flexibility to raise capital as the actual need arises. At the end of 2023, Mintos investors had active investments of EUR 63.9 mln in Eleving Group products. Eleving Group has raised more than EUR 1.6 bln in total investments since the launch of Mintos through the platform, establishing itself as one of the largest and most successful loan originators on Mintos.

To sum up, the fundraising strategy consists of a balanced approach towards the cost of capital (for the sustainability of the business), funding goals (impact on local communities, mobility improvement), and alignment of financing segments (responsible lending segments).

1 EUR 17.5 mln constitutes the EUR 30 mln nominal amount of bonds issued less company's own held bonds.

Responsible business conduct

Eleving Group strives for transparency, trust, and integrity. This approach applies to all its business entities and markets and the Group's clients and business relations.

The Group is committed to initiating and maintaining collaboration across the financial industry and continuously investing in the supplier selection process to promote sustainability and ethical behavior in the business environment.

Anti-fraud and anti-corruption policy

Eleving Group has developed and adopted its Anti-corruption, Anti-bribery, and Anti-fraud Policy, which aims to ensure a common understanding of the problems arising from corruption and fraud, its types, responsibilities, and action models to prevent corrupt and fraudulent activities within Eleving Group, and in relations with external partners and those involved in the political process. This policy applies and is binding to all Eleving Group employees and employees of Eleving Group's subsidiaries, regardless of their position. Eleving Group is committed to complying with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Eleving Group has zero tolerance against bribery, corruption, and other activities that are unethical, unacceptable, and inconsistent with the Group's values. Eleving Group strives to operate with transparency, trust, and integrity. This approach applies to all of its markets of operation and all business relations.

The policy defines corruption as dishonest behavior and criminal action by those in positions of power, such as company representatives or government officials. Corruption can include giving or accepting bribes or inappropriate gifts, double-dealing, under-the-table transactions, manipulating elections, diverting funds, laundering money, and defrauding investors. In comparison, bribery is the act of promising, giving, receiving, or agreeing to receive money or some other item of value with the corrupt aim of influencing a public official or business partner to discharge their official duties. Fraud is the crime of using dishonest methods to take something valuable from another person or company (money, property, information, technology, product, trust, etc.).

The policy guides those working for Eleving Group; every employee must follow its principles. The sole purpose of the policy is to set out the responsibilities of Eleving Group and its personnel regarding our zero-tolerance against bribery and corruption. The core principles are as follows:

  • Company representatives shall not offer, promise, give, request, accept, or receive bribes or another undue advantage to facilitate Eleving Group's business. Promising, offering, or providing any benefit to a person who exercises public authority is strictly prohibited.
  • Company representatives are prohibited from offering, giving, and accepting gifts, events, trips, and other traveling arrangements unless such activities comply with the allowed limits, are open, moderate, match clear business objectives, and are commensurate with business relations. Activities to strengthen and establish client and supplier relations shall be made in good faith and compliance with the requirements set by Eleving Group.
  • Eleving Group's good practice stipulates that an employee must not individually decide whether to accept gifts whose purpose may be questionable, as well as gifts exceeding the value of EUR 150.00. Gifts whose value exceeds the aforementioned threshold must be immediately reported.
  • It is prohibited to accept money as a gift under any circumstances.
  • Eleving Group supports contributions to the communities where it does business and permits reasonable donations to charities and sponsorships. Sponsoring and donations shall be made in an open and transparent manner.
  • Eleving Group never donates to political parties, politicians, or political campaigns. Eleving Group is politically neutral.
  • It is forbidden for company representatives to ask for or accept a donation from a private person or legal entity and other types of financial assistance if the donation or assistance affects the decision-making regarding this person.
  • The good practice of Eleving Group determines that no favoritism is allowed in the selection of partners for the provision of services. In every procurement procedure or selection of service providers, at least three applicants (unless it is impossible to obtain three offers due to objective circumstances) must be evaluated, choosing the partner or supplier that can provide the highest price-performance level.
  • In situations where the partner's representative is personally known outside of the professional field, is a relative, or a spouse, the final decision is taken collectively or by a decision of competent and neutral managers.
  • Favoritism is also not allowed in the selection of employees; a human resource manager cannot make an individual decision to hire a friend, family member, or partner.
  • Employees do not engage in private activities and refrain from side jobs and combining positions that may interfere with the responsibilities and professional performance and create suspicions of potential, apparent, or actual conflict of interest.

All Eleving Group employees are informed about the adopted policy, its content, and its importance in ensuring the transparency of Eleving Group's business processes. Employees are immediately notified of amendments to the policy. Department heads update their subordinates on the current policy once a year, while new employees are informed and instructed about the policy in the first week of work. Around 95% of employees dealing with clients and suppliers have received training on anti-corruption.

Employees undergo internal training once a year, examining the concepts defined in the policy and their manifestations in various situations. During the training, employees understand how to act in situations characterized by an ethical dilemma and in situations where a potential case of corruption, bribery, conflict of interest, or fraud exists. Employees are informed about the procedure for reporting such situations.

Anti-money laundering, countering terrorism and proliferation financing, sanctions compliance

Eleving Group strives to stay one step ahead of criminals who seek to use the global financial system for money laundering. We recognize the challenges and dangers posed by this criminal activity. Therefore, Eleving Group has approved and regularly updates its Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Terrorism Financing, and Proliferation Financing (AML/ CTF/PF) Policy, which formulates Eleving Group's general principles and methods to determine measures for the assessment and management of money laundering, terrorism, and proliferation financing and international sanctions risks inherent in Eleving Group. Furthermore, Eleving Group has put in place appropriate processes to mitigate those risks and to protect Eleving Group's customers and employees from the money laundering, terrorism, and proliferation financing and international sanctions violation risks. The Group also pays close attention to breaches of sanctions or other illegal activities. Eleving Group and its subsidiaries do not deal with sanctioned companies or individuals. Compliance with this standard is strictly monitored.

Given that Eleving Group entities are located in multiple jurisdictions, their policies and procedures are tweaked to the various jurisdictions Eleving Group's subsidiaries operate in and consider not only the specific local legal requirements but also product nuances, Eleving Group's AML/CTF/PF best practices, and international recommendations and guidelines, thus ensuring the highest level of AML/CTF/PF and global sanctions compliance reasonably possible.

The country managers in each jurisdiction are responsible for preventing money laundering and ensuring compliance. Besides, at each of the Group's companies, there is an

AML team of several AML specialists. The team works closely with various internal departments and committees, including the legal department and client support, to achieve AML-related goals and adhere to international and local legal requirements.

Along with the internal know-your-client (KYC) investigative practices, Eleving Group uses a special information technology solution that enhances compliance and provides faster and more efficient AML checks. This allows performing the required client due diligence and KYC checks, monitoring and screening transactions, and reporting suspicious transactions or sanctions

Insider trading

Eleving Group`s Policy on Preventing Insider Trading and the laws of the countries in which it operates prohibit trading in securities (in our case, debt securities or bonds) while possessing material non-public information regarding the issuer.

According to this policy, all the Group's employees must not engage or attempt to engage in insider trading or circumvent that obligation by any means, which includes:

  • Improperly disclosing inside information or recommending the third party to trade or cancel or amend an order while in possession of inside information (tipping off); or
  • using such a recommendation as referred to above where the employee knows or ought to know it is based on inside information.

Furthermore, the Group's general principle reiterates that in case of any doubt, employees should treat nonpublic information as inside information and consult with management before engaging in any transaction. This approach effectively ensures that employees do not enter into transactions that amount to or create the appearance of market manipulation.

infringements. It enables the effective evaluation of the potential risks associated with each client and ensures that the Group adheres to the Group's policies and standards.

To ensure full compliance with the AML legal requirements, the internal AML practices are reviewed and amended at least once every 18 months according to globally consistent policies, standards, and local legal requirements. Furthermore, internal and external AML and sanctions compliance audits are performed regularly, and in case any findings and recommendations are received, those are implemented in due course to ensure maximum compliance with the applicable legal regulations.

To enhance compliance with insider trading prevention policies, the Group uses information technology services that maintain an up-to-date list of persons who have access to insider (price-sensitive) information and regularly inform these persons about their duties and obligations under the Group's Policy on Preventing Insider Trading.

In addition to the above, all the Group's employees must adhere to specific information barriers to protect insider (price-sensitive) information. This includes:

  • Prevent confidential information from being shared with individuals not authorized to know such information.
  • Restricting access to potentially material non-public information to those persons who do not necessarily need to see it to perform their work duties.
  • Addressing actual or potential conflicts of interest related to business activities.

Failure to comply with this policy may lead to sanctions imposed by the Group, including dismissal for cause, whether or not the failure to abide by this policy results in an actual violation of the law.

Whistleblowing

Eleving Group is committed to the highest levels of ethics and integrity in its business. The Group values integrity, compliance, and ethics and believes that the way to build a culture of trust is to learn to speak up when something is not right so that the Group can address the problem. Eleving Group understands that this is crucial to its continued success and reputation. Therefore, Eleving Group has devised its Whistleblowing Policy and reporting system called Trust Line, available at https://bit.ly/3aOqfYM.

TrustLine is an anonymous form to report concerns about misconduct, improper and/or illegal activity within or in relation to Eleving Group. This solution allows sharing concerns regarding violations of the Group's policies, local laws, regulations, fraud, and corruption without fear of negative consequences or retributions. Eleving Group ensures that the reporting on actual and potential conflicts of interest is confidential, and the reporting employees, clients, and suppliers are protected from discrimination and retaliation.

The Whistleblowing Policy aims to provide clarity on how Eleving Group will support whistleblowers so that they:

  • Are encouraged to express their concerns.
  • Know how to report their concerns.
  • Know their rights, including their right to remain anonymous.
  • Know what will happen if they report their concerns.
  • Feel safe in reporting their concerns.
  • Will not be subject to retaliation, detriment, or victimization in response to reporting their concerns.

Anyone with evidence or reasonable suspicion that one of Eleving Group's employees or business partners has violated the established norms or that Eleving Group commits systematic procedural violations can report it through the whistleblowing system. A competent Whistleblower Report coordinator monitors the Trust Line 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Trust Line allows reporting anonymously.

The Group's management structure is designed to ensure effective team management and transparency. It is designed to encourage team members to have mutual trust and respect and to be able to report any misconduct. Direct relationships among employees and all levels of the management team are facilitated so everyone would feel comfortable communicating and escalating any issues through multiple avenues. Eleving Group believes employees should feel safe and assured that their rights are observed and applicable laws are strictly followed. In the event of inappropriate treatment, employees always have the right and possibility to submit a complaint or suggestion to the respective manager or HR department.

In 2023, 14 reports of misconduct were received, recording a decrease of 44% (25 reports in 2022) compared to a year ago. Out of 14 reports, 11 were related to the Group's vehicle financing companies; moreover, five were submitted by clients, while 6 were submitted internally by employees. For the consumer segment, only 3 reports were recorded, and two out of them were from clients, while an employee submitted one. The highest number of reports was related to Kenya (7); two were recorded in Georgia and North Macedonia, while Uzbekistan, Moldova, and Albania had one misconduct report. All whistleblowing reports were resolved.

Data privacy

Eleving Group protects its customers, employees, and partners` privacy and ensures compliance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations. As business entities of Eleving Group enter new markets and its customer base grows, the work on data privacy is ongoing. Globally, over 320 000 active customers, 2760 employees, and over 2200 partners have entrusted Eleving Group with their personal data.

The Group aims to ensure that this information is processed securely and follows applicable laws and regulations. To achieve this, goals and internal requirements are set and followed when dealing with personal data.

As Eleving Group operates in different markets and jurisdictions, it is subject not only to the General Data Protection Regulation No. 679/2016 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR) but also to different national requirements for personal data protection. At entities in the European Union, the Group has carried out multiple privacy-related external audits, reviewed its procedures, and adopted documentation to address GDPR requirements and improve data protection standards. All Eleving Group business entities have adopted the same general privacy framework, complemented by additional local requirements. Eleving Group strives to achieve a unified approach across the Group and provide a high level of technical and organizational security measures.

The Group continuously reviews existing procedures and educates its employees on applicable laws and regulations concerning privacy, data protection, and other relevant matters such as information security. Personal data protection and information security training is organized regularly at a Group and local level to educate employees and raise awareness on the subject. In addition, starting from the end of 2020, the Group uses the OneTrust system to operationalize and manage privacy-related requirements, assess and monitor compliance, and ensure a common approach to different data protection aspects and compliance requirements.

Privacy and data protection projects are coordinated throughout the Group by the Group's general data protection counsel, with the assistance of local data protection officers, legal, risk, business development, and IT teams. Such a governance model ensures overreaching support and a common approach to the Group's privacy objectives and standards and addresses the local legal requirements.

Eleving Group's employees are bound by strict confidentiality requirements and must not intentionally or accidentally disclose sensitive information while performing their work duties. The information is protected, regardless of whether it belongs to Eleving Group or its stakeholders.

Employees are precluded from using confidential information obtained during their employment in Eleving Group for personal gain or the advancement of private interests.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is of paramount importance to Eleving Group for several intertwined reasons. The Group handles highly sensitive financial data, including bank account details and personal identification information, necessitating stringent protection to maintain customer trust and comply with the regulatory standards like GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and others. Moreover, preventing fraud is critical, as fintech entities are the prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities for illicit gains. Robust cybersecurity measures safeguard against unauthorized access and fraudulent transactions and ensure business continuity by mitigating the risks of cyberattacks such as ransomware or DDoS attacks. Also, fostering trust and preserving reputation is imperative in the fintech industry, where any security breach could lead to customer churn and reputational damage. Finally, safeguarding intellectual property against theft or unauthorized access further underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in sustaining the competitive edge and long-term success of fintech enterprises.

In 2023, Eleving Group enhanced employee awareness training to cover and explain the basic social engineering attack vectors and expected user behavior. If a specific case is spotted, the responsible employee for cybersecurity carries out multichannel and multiformat communication and educates employees on the nature of the attack, goals of the attackers, and related risks. Also, in late 2023, the Information security team initiated a phishing simulation test involving the Eleving Group employees in all countries and subsidiaries. These activities are aimed to be continued every year. On top of that, the Group has implemented advanced security monitoring and SIEM solutions. They are continuously improved for the company to be able to respond promptly when an incident happens. The Group is continuously improving and implementing new sensors for infrastructure and network safety.

In 2023, 48 external incidents were reported, and 75% were related to phishing and similar social engineering. Around 20% of the incidents were related to low staff awareness of cyber security and digital hygiene. Less than 5% of the incidents were related to attacks on the Group's websites. All incidents were resolved promptly.

Sustainable supply chain

A sustainable supply chain is essential to minimize the risks for the Group, influence the industry, and drive real and meaningful global change.

Eleving Group's business depends on certain services provided by third parties, such as banks, local consumer credit agencies, IT service providers, and debt-collection agencies. An inability to maintain existing business relationships with banks, local consumer credit agencies, IT service providers, debt-collection agencies, and other third-party providers or the failure by these third-party providers to maintain the quality of their services or otherwise provide their services to the Group may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, operating results, prospects, or cash flows.

To minimize the Group's external costs and risks when new business relationships are established with a new or existing supplier, Eleving Group has drawn up its internal procurement guidelines in line with the Group's strategic direction and internal and external regulations. Employees must screen suppliers against the economic sanctions list, perform sanity checks (tax debts, overall reputation), and conduct general research on whether the suppliers have adopted their code of conduct and follow good corporate practices. Most supplier agreements are entered into for a period shorter than one year, and before the extension of an agreement, the said procedures are repeated. Since Eleving Group needs to choose suppliers with similar values and responsible business conduct, the Group plans to invest in improving the supplier selection process. The goal by 2025 is to assess all key suppliers according to the Group's ESG criteria. Currently, the Group mainly outsources certain IT services, such as software development, data center, and technical support.

Human rights statement

Human rights are fundamental rights belonging to every person in the world. They form the foundation for freedom, justice, and peace. They apply equally and universally in all countries, irrespective of the legal framework.

Eleving Group respects universal human rights in all markets where it operates. The Group follows the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact, which form the basis for its efforts to respect human rights. The Group complies with all relevant international legal obligations and local legal obligations in the countries and regions in which it operates.

Eleving Group respects employee human rights as established in the International Labour Organisation's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, including non-discrimination, prohibition of child and forced labor, and safe and healthy working conditions. The Group offers equal opportunities and rights to all, regardless of sex, national or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or disability.

Eleving Group firmly stands against human rights violations, including child and forced labor. The Group does not employ children and strongly believes any employee should be able to freely negotiate and accept terms and conditions of employment relations and should not be coerced or forced to accept unfair or discriminatory terms. The Group applies the same principles within its supply chain and does not cooperate or engage with suppliers or service providers who do not adhere to them.

General principles of communication, sponsorship, and advertising

Eleving Group implements its communication activities in compliance with the principles of responsible communication and locally adopted laws and regulations.

The Group strongly opposes communication that misleads customers and the public in any way. Eleving Group does not sponsor events, people, or organizations whose reputation, products, or event concepts call into question honesty, ethics, or other generally accepted values.

Investor relations

Eleving Group is committed to protecting the interests of all shareholders and investors and thus makes sure it complies with all relevant laws and regulations. Eleving Group aims to generate returns to shareholders on a sustainable longterm basis by continuously improving its services, products, and business processes with a focus on profitability and cost efficiency.

The Group is committed to maintaining transparent business processes in which investors can understand Eleving Group's planned short-term, medium-term, and long-term development projects and investments and the actual financial and nonfinancial results. Considering the international scale of Eleving Group's business and sustainable business principles, it is essential for Eleving Group to cooperate with investors who are not exposed to various sanctions risks. Eleving Group distances itself from investors about whom doubts may arise or whose origin of funds cannot be verified.

In early 2023, the Group won the Best Investor Relations on the First North Bond List category of the Nasdaq Baltic Awards. The award is presented every second year as part of the Nasdaq Baltic Awards ceremony, which celebrates outstanding achievements by Nasdaq Baltic-listed companies in the areas of transparency, sound corporate governance, and investor relations.

Corporate governance

Eleving Group is a public limited liability company. It is subject to and complies—among the others—with the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended, and the law of 11 August 2008 on transparency requirements for issuers of securities, as amended (the "Luxembourg Company Law"), as well as the Rules and Regulations of the Frankfurt and Riga Stock Exchanges. The Group does not apply additional requirements in addition to those required by the above.

In 2023, the Group continued to operate in 16 countries. Each country's subsidiary is entitled to make operational decisions regarding its business activities. Countries in a particular region are organized in clusters ("Hubs") coordinated by sub-holding companies controlled by the parent company.

Multilayer structure

The share capital of the Group is indirectly held by the four founders of the Group (approximately 87%) and by present and former employees of the Group. On 5 May 2015, the shareholders of the Group entered into a shareholders' agreement, amended from time to time (the "Shareholders' Agreement"). The Shareholders' Agreement provides that, among other things, (i) all shareholders (unless such shareholder ceases to be an employee of the Group) need to be present or represented at a shareholders' meeting; (ii) resolutions on certain material matters, including the appointment of auditors and entry by the Group into material contracts, need to be passed unanimously (provisions to overcome deadlock scenarios are foreseen); and (iii) limitation on the transfer of rights, tag-along, drag-along, and right of first refusal. The share capital of Eleving Group is entirely held by its shareholders (see table on the right).

Powers of the shareholder

The shareholders' general meeting exercises power granted by the Luxembourg Company Law, including (i) appointing and removing the directors (the "Directors") and the statutory or independent auditor of the Group as well as setting their remuneration, (ii) approving the

annual financial statements of the Group, (iii) amending the articles of association of the Group, (iv) deciding on the dissolution and liquidation of the Group, (v) changing the nationality of the Group, and (vi) rights to amend the financial statements after their issue.

General powers of the directors/the board

The Group is currently managed by a board of directors (the "Board") whose members have been appointed as type A Directors and type B Directors by the shareholders' general meeting of the Group. In accordance with the Luxembourg Company Law, each type A Director and type B Director may be removed at any time without cause (révocation ad nutum).

Meetings of the Board are convened upon request of the chairman of the Board or any two Directors of the Group as often as the interest of the Group so requires. The meetings of the Board are validly held if, at the commencement of the meeting, at least one type A Director and one type B Director is present or represented, and decisions are validly taken by the majority of the Directors present or represented (including at least one type A Director and at least one type B Director). Any Director may represent one or more other Directors at a Board`s meeting. The Board of the Group may, from time to time, delegate its power to conduct the daily management (gestion journalière) of the Group to one or more Directors, i.e., the managing director(s) (administrateur(s) délégué(s)), commit the management of the affairs of the Group to one or more Directors or give special powers for determined matters to one or more proxy holders.

Pursuant to its articles of association, where the Group is administrated by the Board comprising several categories of Directors, it shall be bound by the joint signatures of a type A Director and a type B Director. Thus, the "four eyes" principle is established.

The Group is currently managed by a Board composed of two Directors of type A and two Directors of type B, elected pursuant to resolutions of the shareholders of the Group. Based on the articles of association of the Group, Directors of each category are vested with the same individual powers and duties. The Directors of type B are Luxembourg residents, whereas the Directors of type A are not Luxembourg residents and, at the same time, hold the positions of CEO and CFO within the Group. The board of directors has not appointed a chairperson among its members so far.

Audit Committee

In 2019, the Group established an audit committee.

regulations affecting financial reporting and the code of business conduct (where applicable).

The audit committee is set up, and its members are appointed by Eleving Group's Board of Directors. The audit committee is comprised of three members: Mārtiņš Muižnieks, Bertrand de Fays, and Franck-Oliviera Cera, each of them appointed for a period of three years. The audit committee reports directly to the Company's Board of Directors.

Risks and risk management

Risk management at Eleving Group is defined as a process of identifying, monitoring, and managing potential risks to mitigate the negative impact they may have on the Group. To ensure efficient significant risk management at all stages, Eleving Group describes the general framework and duties in its internal policies and guidelines.

Internal policies and guidelines set out the following objectives for each of the Group's operating companies:

  • To establish the framework required for the identification of significant risks.
  • To assess exposure to significant risks.
  • To establish the techniques and indicators to be used for the management of significant risks, including with reference to the adequacy of the limits system.
  • To allocate the risk management duties within the entity.
  • To establish the framework required for risk reporting (reporting typology—indicators, content, frequency, users).
  • To establish the entity's risk profile in line with the entity's business strategy.
  • To establish the measures required for addressing the conflicts of interests at the level of the risk management function and the conditions required for the independent exercise of the risk management function.

The risk management process at Eleving Group consists of four main parts:

  • Risk identification.
  • Risk management.
  • Risk monitoring.
  • Risk control.

Eleving Group has defined the following significant risks: (i) financial risk, (ii) legal risk, (iii) operational risk, (iv) reputational risk, and (v) ESG risk.

The Group's activities are exposed to a variety of risks:

  • Liquidity risk.
  • Credit risk.
  • Market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk).

The Group's overall risk management focuses on financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge specific risk exposures carried out by the central treasury department (the Group's treasury).

The Group controls its liquidity by managing the amount of funding it attracts through peer-to-peer marketplace platforms for loans, which provides the management with greater flexibility to manage the level of borrowings and available cash balances. Also, the Group manages its longer-term liquidity needs by obtaining funding from international capital markets, in particular by issuing the Bonds.

The Group is exposed to credit risk through its finance lease receivables, loans, and advances, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The key areas of credit risk policy cover the lease and loan granting process (including the solvency check of the lessee or the borrower), monitoring methods,

and decision-making principles. The Group uses financed vehicles as collateral to reduce the credit risk significantly. The Group operates by applying a clear set of finance lease and loan granting criteria. These criteria include assessing the customer's credit history, lease and loan repayment means, and understanding the lease object. The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative factors when assessing the customer's creditworthiness. Based on this analysis, the Group sets the credit limit for each customer. When the lease agreement has been signed, the Group monitors the lease object and the customer's solvency. The Group has developed a lease monitoring process that helps quickly spot any possible non-compliance with the provisions of the agreement. The receivable balances are monitored continuously to ensure that the Group's exposure to bad debts is minimized and, where appropriate, sufficient provisions are made. The Group does not have a significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty but is exposed to risks to counterparties with similar characteristics.

The Group takes on exposure to market risks, which are the risks that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in the interest rate and currency products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility or market rates or prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Currency risk is defined as the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. The most significant foreign currency exposure comes from Georgia, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, Uganda, and Moldova. In most of the markets, except for Kenya and Uganda, the Group has evaluated potential hedging options but, due to the costs associated with it, has decided not to pursue a hedging strategy for now and assume potential short to mid-term currency fluctuations with retaining potential upside from strengthening of the mentioned currencies. Nevertheless, from a foreign currency perspective, the Group practices pricing in the currency risk within the cost of its products in the most volatile markets.

In addition, the Group is making substantial progress in issuing as many loans as possible in EUR and USD currencies. Having now a significant portfolio of USD loans and leases, mainly linked to Belarus, Kenya, and Uganda, the Group has started to manage the foreign currency exposure risk towards USD proactively. The proactive management of USD exposure can be observed by forward contract purchases that began in 2020 and have continued since then.

Cash flow interest rate risk means the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates, in particular, that the Group's income or the value of its portfolios of financial assets might be affected as a result. The management of Eleving Group believes that for the Group, interest rate risk is not material since the vast majority of loans are issued and received at fixed rates, and most of the borrowings and loans issued to customers are long-term.

Legal risks are mainly derived from regulatory changes, which the Group successfully manages with the help of an in-house legal department and external legal advisors that closely follow the latest developments and the legal environment. While most of Eleving Group's operating entities are financial institutions, the Group is not regulated as a bank, payment institution, or e-money institution in any of its operating jurisdictions. The regulatory framework applicable to the Group's operating entities varies depending on the jurisdiction in which they operate. The relevant regulations relate to, inter alia, lending and leasing activities, consumer rights protection, the processing of personal data, debt collection, and the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism.

The Group's operational risks are managed by rigid underwriting procedures in the loan issuance process and efficient debt collection procedures.

Reputational risk is concerned with the exposure of Eleving Group to events that could adversely affect customers' trust in its products, could decrease its customer portfolio, or could lead to: (i) an increased difficulty in attracting new customers; (ii) difficulty raising finance; (iii) difficulty in retaining employees; (iv) non-compliance with the requirements set forth by local authorities. The Group's reputational risk monitoring is performed, e.g., by monitoring the local and central media, monitoring Eleving Group's activity with the focus on the events that could expose the Group to a reputational risk (specifically those related to customer relations and the relationships with the supervisory authority), and monitoring the number of complaints received from customers.

Scientific evidence1 suggests that climate change and the associated need to transition towards an environmentally sustainable economy will lead to changes in the real economy that will, in turn, impact the financial sector through new risks and opportunities. Eleving Group has

become aware of the importance of ESG risks in recent years. It has begun to work purposefully to manage them by developing its Strategic ESG Program 2022–2025 and initiating sustainability reporting. For Eleving Group, ESG risks include the following:

  • Climate change—changes in the policy and regulatory context; timely development of innovative products and services, supporting the reduction of CO2 emissions and customer preferences; business interruption due to chronic (e.g., temperature increase, etc.) or extreme (e.g., floods, etc.) events on key company assets, i.e., physical risk.
  • Responsible use of natural resources—optimization of material cycles, in terms of recycling, waste, etc., management; sustainable resource (water, electricity, etc.) management.
  • Human resources management—diversity, equal opportunities; health, safety, and well-being of employees; attraction, retention, and development of talent; employee training and development.
  • Responsible lending—compliance with legal and voluntary regulations.
  • Customers—customer relations (e.g., conduct, nondiscrimination, mislabeling products); customer data protection; evolving customer preferences regarding sustainable products; increasing use of digitalization and automation; affordable/accessible financial products.
  • Impact on local communities—providing access to finance for diverse groups.
  • Business ethics and integrity—prevention, detection, and countering unlawful behavior by employees, clients, and/or suppliers (incl. corruption, AML) and compliance with related international and national legislation.

Main features of internal control and risk management systems in relation to the process of consolidated financial statements

The employees involved in the accounting process meet qualitative standards and receive regular training. Duties and responsibilities are clearly assigned to different roles. Complex evaluations are assigned to specialized service providers who involve qualified in-house staff. Separating administrative, executive, settlement, and report preparation functions reduces the possibility of fraud. Internal processes also ensure that changes in the Group's economic or legal environment are mapped and that new or amended legal provisions are applied in the Group's accounting.

The Group's accounting rules also govern specific formal requirements placed on consolidated financial statements. These include the mandatory use of a standardized and complete reporting package. The Group's Accounting Department assists the Regional units in resolving complex accounting issues. Additional data for the presentation of external information in the notes and the Group's management report is also prepared and aggregated at the Group level. Reporting packages containing errors are identified and corrected at the Regional or Group level. Impairment tests are conducted centrally for the specific cash-generating units, known as CGUs, from the Group's perspective to ensure that consistent, standardized evaluation criteria are applied.

Business highlights

An outstanding year with promising prospects for robust growth in the future

Operational and Strategic Highlights

  • Eleving Group closed 2023 with the best-ever business performance. Revenues, including fee and commission income, for the corresponding period reached EUR 189.3 mln, recording an increase of EUR 13.7 mln, compared to 2022. Meanwhile, the net portfolio grew by EUR 27.3 mln and landed at EUR 320.3 mln.
  • Diversified business operations and a balanced revenue stream from all core business lines:
    • Flexible lease and subscription-based products contributed EUR 50.4 mln to the 2023 revenues—a decrease of 2%, mainly due to the sale of the Renti Plus portfolio and the slightly decreasing Kenya motorcycle taxi loan portfolio (effect from unfavorable foreign currency rate development).
    • Traditional lease and leaseback products contributed EUR 66.2 mln to the revenue stream, up by 7% compared to the respective period a year ago. The recorded increase can be explained by a steady and controlled portfolio and interest income growth across most of the Group's markets, with the highest growth rates recorded in Romania, Lithuania, and Moldova.
    • Revenues from the consumer loan segment contributed EUR 72.7 mln to the 2023 revenues—a significant leap of over 20%. The strong results were driven by the efficient integration of the Sub-Saharan consumer financing business and outstanding performance in the Group's European consumer markets.
  • In early Q3, Eleving Group integrated the ExpressCredit consumer financing business in four Sub-Saharan region countries. As a result, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Lesotho joined the Group's portfolio.
  • In July, Renti Plus business operations in Latvia were sold to Transporent Ltd, a Latvian subsidiary of the international mobility services provider SIXT. The respective transaction included the sale of more than 100 vehicles from the Renti Plus fleet and its active customer portfolio.
  • In Q4, the Group issued EUR 50 mln of senior secured and guaranteed Eleving Group 2023/2028 bonds. As a result, over 2,000 new investors from the Baltic states and Europe were onboarded, and the debt maturity profile was significantly improved. Shortly after, Fitch

Ratings assigned a rating of 'B-' with a Recovery Rating of 'RR4' to the respective bonds.

  • In mid-Q4, the Group launched a new initiative in Kenya— retrofitting internal combustion engine motorcycles to electric. The main objective of this product is to intensify the introduction of sustainable mobility in Kenya and to give a second life to used motorcycles, thereby extending their life cycle. By the end of the year, Mogo Kenya had already retrofitted several motorcycles, and a healthy spike in demand is expected in 2024.
  • As part of its foreign currency exchange risk management strategy during Q4, the Group established cooperation with MFX Currency Risk Solutions (USA) and Absa Bank (Uganda). As a result, in January 2024, the Group companies entered in currency hedging contracts to fully cover the Group's exposure with respect to the Ugandan shilling.
  • In the sustainable mobility area, Eleving Group continued to roll out its electric car-sharing service in Latvia and electric motorcycle financing in Kenya. In 2023, over 3.2 mln kilometers were commuted on pure electricity by the Group's clients. Therefore, both green mobility services have reduced the potential CO2 emissions by approximately 300 to 315t, compared to the amount an internal combustion engine would have generated.
  • An important milestone in digitization was reached by launching an advanced online client cabinet for the Romanian market. The project will ensure active onboarding of existing clients and 24/7 account access; it will provide real-time information on agreements, customer information, payment history, and plans. On top of that, it provides numerous payment methods that focus on promoting recurring (subscription) payments. It is planned to implement the respective project gradually across other Group markets.
  • In January 2024, the Group received all the necessary approvals from Belarussian government authorities with respect to the Mogo Belarus sale. The sale is expected to be finished within 2024 once all aspects of the transaction, including asset refinance, will be implemented. For reporting purposes, Mogo Belarus is classified as a discontinued operation (also in comparatives).

Financial Highlights and Progress

  • Solid profitability evidenced by strongest-ever business financials:
    • Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 77.5 mln (2022: EUR 65.6 mln).
    • Adjusted Net Profit before FX of EUR 29.5 mln (2022: EUR 22.8 mln).
    • Adjusted Net Profit after FX of EUR 23.1 mln (2022: EUR 15.4 mln).
    • Increased net portfolio of EUR 320.3 mln; Eleving Vehicle Finance and Eleving Consumer Finance accounted for EUR 215.4 mln and EUR 104.9 mln, respectively.
    • 2023 ended with a healthy financial position, supported by the capitalization ratio of 26.1% (31 December 2022: 25.6%), ICR ratio of 2.3 (31 December 2022: 2.4), and net leverage of 3.7 (31 December 2022: 3.8), providing an adequate and stable headroom for Eurobond covenants.
  • In 2023, Eleving Group raised USD 7 mln from the Verdant Capital Hybrid Fund for the Kenyan portfolio growth.
  • In mid-2023, Fitch Ratings affirmed Eleving Group's long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and Senior Secured Debt Rating (SDRR) at 'B-,' with a stable outlook.
  • During Q4, Eleving Group continued diversifying its funding structure by entering into talks with ACP Credit. In early 2024, it resulted in EUR 10 mln attracted for business development in Romania.
  • In the meantime, the Group has continued the private placement of Kenyan notes with an aggregate size of up to EUR 23 mln. As of the end of 2023, EUR 13 mln has been raised in total.
  • The Group continues to explore numerous local funding channels to raise funds in local currencies to mitigate future adverse foreign currency exchange impacts. The groundwork has been laid for several collaborations with investment funds and banks, the results of which will be reported over the coming year.

Comments from Eleving Group CEO and CFO

Eleving Group CEO Modestas Sudnius

Entering this year, it was clear that high inflation rates and the growing cost of borrowing would challenge overall client payment behavior. Also, Eleving Group had a significant debt of its own, which had to be managed in the best possible way. And finally, we had a goal to increase our efficiency and profitability as an organization further.

In retrospect, I can tell that we had set highly ambitious goals, and I am delighted that we managed to achieve most of them and beyond. We have had a stable year with increasing portfolio quality. In the second part of the year, we laid the foundation for further growth in 2024 through the integration of consumer finance businesses in the South African region, seizing new opportunities in our existing markets, and securing future financing by issuing EUR 50 mln worth of new bonds.

Despite the prevailing uncertainty in the global economy, the demand for consumer credit products did not weaken, and the people's ability to pay was still higher than expected despite the surging interest rates and inflation.

In the vehicle financing segment, after a slightly slower start, we gathered momentum in the second half of the year. This was anticipated as people temporarily postponed large purchases. In the meantime, the unsecured consumer finance business grew steadily throughout the year, benefiting from the weakening competition and utilizing previously established business essentials—a vast sales network through online and offline channels and wellcalibrated customer scoring models.

We have successfully addressed the diversification of our funding structure by unlocking numerous additional financing channels like local impact funds, bank loans, local notes, and, of course, the latest bond issue that attracted EUR 50 mln and improved our debt maturity profile. Also, we continue to maintain lean operations and strong cost discipline. Together with the increasing digitization of our daily processes, we have managed to maintain a very costeffective business despite the inflationary environment.

In recent years, we have primarily focused on organic expansion in our core business lines. Yet, the integration of the ExpressCredit business will allow us to expand while still maintaining a strong position in our existing markets. We are open to exploring further growth opportunities through new market launches or acquisitions. However, it will not happen at the expense of the profit, and this would become a priority in case of additional equity injection in the business. We will continue to actively participate in the capital markets and explore all the opportunities they offer. Having a well-diversified debt stack in place with no significant maturities upcoming in 2024, our focus will be on potential equity raising, exploring opportunities both in the Baltic markets and outside, not ruling out an IPO.

In the meantime, the Group strengthened its position in green mobility by rapidly expanding its electric car- sharing service in Latvia and the electric motorcycle financing service in Kenya. The Group's customers covered over 3.2 mln kilometers, using electricity-powered vehicles, thus reducing over 300tCO2 compared to what traditional vehicles would have produced. In 2023, more profoundly than before, we saw that people paid much more attention to the so-called value-for-money criteria. This translated into more sustainable decisions, i.e., a greater demand for green mobility solutions that are more climate-friendly and economical in the medium- to long- term. This trend is likely to continue next year, so we expect good results from our sustainable mobility products.

Eleving Group CFO Māris Kreics

Despite the challenging year of peak interest rates and inflation, Eleving Group achieved strong results in all key financial indicators. The Group's adjusted EBITDA increased to EUR 77.5 mln, or by over 18%, compared to 2022, while the total revenue, including fee and commission income, reached EUR 189.3 mln, showing an increase of close to 8%. The adjusted net profit before FX landed at EUR 29.5 mln, up by 29%, while the net portfolio reached EUR 320.3 mln.

It was a year in which we made a solid effort to increase our efficiency and improve our cost of risk. Compared to last year, the Group also achieved higher relative profitability, allowing it to absorb any foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations successfully. With local funding and hedging solutions in place, Eleving Group is expected to have a limited negative impact on foreign currency exchange rates in the coming years. We also strengthened the Group's capitalization ratio while maintaining sustainable dividend payout levels.

During 2023, we continued to diversify our funding structure by raising USD 7 mln from the Verdant Capital Hybrid Fund for the Kenyan portfolio growth. In addition, we successfully continued our Kenyan note program, through which we raised more than EUR 13 mln for business development. Furthermore, in 2023, we established the cooperation with ACP Credit, Central Europe's leading provider of financing solutions for middlemarket businesses. As a result, in early 2024, Mogo Romania received an investment of EUR 10 mln, making it the first time in the Group's history that a significant external funding partner outside the Mintos marketplace was brought to Mogo Romania. In addition, we continued to develop our electric car-sharing service, OX Drive, by raising EUR 2.8 million from Industra Bank to expand its car fleet.

Of course, one of the highlights of the year was the issuance of the latest Eurobond and subsequent listing on the Baltic and Frankfurt stock exchanges, resulting in EUR 50 mln raised and over 2,000 new investors onboarded. The bond issue was mainly tailored towards the existing investors (both retail and professional ones) from the Baltic states. In terms of volume, this was one of the largest corporate issuances in the Baltics in recent years. Retail investors from Estonia were particularly active. Therefore, we can assume that companies with a strong track record and a healthy balance sheet still have support from local retail investors even in volatile market conditions characterized by an ambiguous investment landscape.

Furthermore, I would like to note that Fitch Ratings affirmed Eleving Group's long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and Senior Secured Debt Rating (SDRR) at 'B-,' with a stable outlook. Despite the global economic challenges, we have maintained this performance for the fourth consecutive year.

In conclusion, it was a successful year for the company, with healthy growth, sound decisions that delivered expected results, and a strong financial position that will contribute to the future sustainable development of our global business.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

These Consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by decision of the Board of directors on 29 April 2024. Shareholders have the financial statements' approval rights after approval by the Board of Directors.

2. Material accounting policy information

a) Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The Group's consolidated financial statements and its financial result are affected by accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and management judgement (Note 3), which necessarily have to be made in the course of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements.

The Group's management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the current and next financial period. All estimates and assumptions required in conformity with IFRS are best estimates undertaken in accordance with the applicable standard. Estimates and judgements are evaluated on a continuous basis, and are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations with regard to future events. Accounting policies and management's judgements for certain items are especially critical for the Group's results and financial situation due to their materiality. Future events may occur which cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis as modified by the recognition of financial instruments measured at fair value, and except for inventory which is accounted in lower of cost or net realizable value and contingent consideration that has been measured at fair value.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to the Group's accounting policies.

The Group's presentation and functional currency is euro (EUR). The financial statements cover the period from 1 January 2023 till 31 December 2023. Accounting policies and methods are consistent with those applied in the previous years, except as described below.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Eleving Group S.A. (Parent company) and entities controlled by the Parent Company (its subsidiaries) as at 31 December 2023. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as for the Parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Parent Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

The financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements by adding together like items of assets and liabilities as well as income and expense. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between controlled members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. The equity and net income attributable to non-controlling interests are shown separately in the statement of financial position and the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. The acquisition of an additional ownership interest in a subsidiary without a change of control is accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with IFRS 10. Any excess or deficit of consideration paid over the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is recognized in equity of the parent in transactions where the non-controlling interests are acquired or sold without loss of control. The Group recognizes this effect in retained earnings. If the subsidiary to which these non-controlling interests relate contain accumulated components recognized in other comprehensive income/ (loss), those are reallocated within equity of the Parent.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
  • Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
  • Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
  • Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;
  • Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
  • Recognizes any surplus or deficit in the profit and loss;
  • Reclassifies the Group's share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit and loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Going concern

As the global economy is entering a third year of non-zero key interest rates environment, the Group has managed to post its strongest ever financial results in years 2022 and 2023.

The Group's product structure allows a significant equity build up during the periods of stable growth. Although the Group largely operates with borrowed capital, the interest expense forms only 21.27% (in 2022: 19.15%) from its interest revenue. As at 31 December 2023, the principal of Group's total borrowings amounted to EUR 339.85 million of which EUR 97.14 million is due for renewal over the following 12 months. The Group's current assets are

EUR 209.56 million, effectively exceeding the principal of borrowings due next 12 months by more than two times. The Group has a track record of successful cash generation and ability to access funding from debt capital markets as well as other sources during protracted periods of economic uncertainty (tested in both 2020 and 2022), hence the Group is expected to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Although exposed to external economic environment and indicators, the Group's portfolio quality is substantially at the control of Group itself as it has the ability to adjust the underwriting standards on a local basis by geographies and individual products. The result of that is evidenced by substantially improved cost of risk expenses during 2023 indicated by decreasing impairment expenses by 7.94% if compared against 2022 results and that has been achieved despite having higher portfolio by 9% in 2023 versus 2022.

Given the regional diversification of the Group's business across three continents and Eastern European region being one of them, it is important to highlight that the Group is not a sanctions target and does not maintain business relations with sanctioned entities. Additionally, two of its subsidiaries in Ukraine and Belarus have been substantially scaled down without a substantial impact on the overall Group results.

1) In Ukraine the Group is focused on collection activities only. The collected funds are being partially repatriated with remainder temporarily being housed in the country. The funds collected as well as temporarily housed in country are not material for the Group and its going concern operations.

2) In January 2024, the Group received all the necessary approval from Belarusian government authorities with respect to sale of entities in Belarus. The sale is expected to be finished with 2024 once all aspects of the transaction, including asset refinance, will be implemented. For reporting purposes, Mogo Belarus is classified as a discontinued operation.

b) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

c) New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted from 1 January 2023

The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2023:

  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts;
  • Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements);
  • Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors);
  • Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes); and
  • International Tax Reform Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes) (effective immediately upon the issue of the amendments and retrospectively).

These amendments to various IFRS Accounting Standards are mandatorily effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. See the applicable notes for further details on how the amendments affected the Group.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

IFRS 17 was issued by the IASB in 2017 and replaces IFRS 4 for annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

IFRS 17 introduces an internationally consistent approach to the accounting for insurance contracts. Prior to IFRS 17, significant diversity has existed worldwide relating to the accounting for and disclosure of insurance contracts, with IFRS 4 permitting many previous accounting approaches to be followed.

Since IFRS 17 applies to all insurance contracts issued by an entity (with limited scope exclusions), its adoption may have an effect on non-insurers such as Eleving Group. The Group carried out an assessment of its contracts and operations and concluded that the adoption of IFRS 17 has had no effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements)

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments aim to make accounting policy disclosures more informative by replacing the requirement to disclose 'significant accounting policies' with 'material accounting policy information'. The amendments also provide guidance under what circumstance, the accounting policy information is likely to be considered material and therefore requiring disclosure.

These amendments have no effect on the measurement or presentation of any items in the Consolidated financial statements of the Group but affect the disclosure of accounting policies of the Group.

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors)

The amendments to IAS 8, which added the definition of accounting estimates, clarify that the effects of a change in an input or measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless resulting from the correction of prior period errors. These amendments clarify how entities make the distinction between changes in accounting estimate, changes in accounting policy and prior period errors.

These amendments had no effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes)

In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, which clarify whether the initial recognition exemption applies to certain transactions that result in both an asset and a liability being recognised simultaneously (e.g. a lease in the scope of IFRS 16). The amendments introduce an additional criterion for the initial recognition exemption, whereby the exemption does not apply to the initial recognition of an asset or liability which at the time of the transaction, gives rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

These amendments had no effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes)

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released a draft legislative framework for a global minimum tax that is expected to be used by individual jurisdictions. The goal of the framework is to reduce the shifting of profit from one jurisdiction to another in order to reduce global tax obligations in corporate structures. In March 2022, the OECD released detailed technical guidance on Pillar Two of the rules.

Stakeholders raised concerns with the IASB about the potential implications on income tax accounting, especially accounting for deferred taxes, arising from the Pillar Two model rules. The IASB issued the final Amendments (the Amendments) International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, in response to stakeholder concerns on 23 May 2023.

The Amendments introduce a mandatory exception to entities from the recognition and disclosure of information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two model rules. The exception is effective immediately and retrospectively. The Amendments also provide for additional disclosure requirements with respect to an entity's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes.

Management of the Group has determined that the Group is not within the scope of OECD's Pillar Two Model Rules and the exception to the recognition and disclosure of information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes is not applicable to the Group since it does not exceed threshold of revenue of 750 million EUR.

d) New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective

There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the Group has decided not to adopt early.

The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2024:

  • Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases);
  • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements);
  • Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements); and
  • Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures)

The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2025:

Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates)

The Group is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments. The Group does not believe that the amendments to IAS 1 will have a significant impact on the classification of its liabilities. The Group does not expect any other standards issued by the IASB, but are yet to be effective, to have a material impact on the Group.

e) Reclassification of comparative indicators

As described in Note 20, in 2024 the Group sold all its subsidiaries in Belarus therefore has reclassified their results to discontinued operations. This resulted in change in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as well as in Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Group also identified that in 2022 it had misstated the deferred tax asset. This also was amended in restated figures of 2022.

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (EUR), which is the presentation currency of the Group. EUR is the monetary unit of Luxembourg, where the Parent Company is established. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the euro at the reference exchange rate fixed by the European Central Bank at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into EUR applying the reference exchange rate established by the European Central Bank at the last day of the reporting year. The differences arising on settlements of transactions or on reporting foreign currency transactions at rates different from those at which these transactions have originally been recorded in the profit and loss and presented within finance costs.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. The nonmonetary items are carried at historical cost and no further retranslation is performed.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations except non-monetary items, valued at historical exchange rate are translated into euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. If subsidiary's functional currency differs from the presentation currency of the Group, income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during the period, in which case the currency exchange rates at the date of the transactions are applied. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified in profit or loss.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, including contingent consideration, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in other operating expense in the statement of profit and loss.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any difference is recognized in profit and loss.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Group will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. During the measurement period, the Group will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Group receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 in profit or loss. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of IFRS 9, it is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Discontinued operations

  • A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
  • represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
  • is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
  • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
  • Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the gain is recognized in profit or loss statement immediately.

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units. Such units represent the smallest groups of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or CGUs. Measurement of gains or losses on disposal of an operation within a cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated include the carrying amount of goodwill associated with the disposed operation, generally measured on the basis of the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit which is retained. Impairment is recognized whenever the carrying value of CGU to which goodwill is allocated is above the recoverable value of such CGU.

The recoverable amount of cash generating units has been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates as disclosed in Note 21.

Internally generated intangible assets

Internally generated intangible assets primarily include the development costs of the Group's information management systems. These costs are capitalized only if they satisfy the criteria as defined by IAS38 and described below.

Internal and external development costs on management information systems arising from the development phase are capitalized. Significant maintenance and improvement costs are added to the initial cost of assets if they specifically meet the capitalization criteria.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. Internally generated intangible assets cost value is increased by Group's information technology costs - salaries and social security contribution capitalization. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Asset useful life is reassessed by management at each year end and amortization periods adapted accordingly.

Internally generated intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives of 7 years. The main internally generated intangible assets are CRM systems.

According to IAS38, development costs shall be capitalized if, and only if, the Group can meet all of the following criteria:

  • the project is clearly identified and the related costs are itemized and reliably monitored;
  • the technical and industrial feasibility of completing the project is demonstrated;
  • there is a clear intention to complete the project and to use or sell the intangible asset arising from it;
  • the Group has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset arising from the project;
  • the Group can demonstrate how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • the Group has adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the project and to use or sell the intangible asset.

When these conditions are not satisfied, development costs generated by the Group are recognized as an expense when incurred.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is completed and the asset is available for use.

Additional information is included in Notes 3 and 21.

  • over 7 years. IT systems Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Other intangible assets

Other intangible non-current assets are stated at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Losses from impairment are recognized where the carrying value of intangible non-current assets exceeds their recoverable amount.

Other intangible assets mainly consists of acquired computer software products.

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Concessions, patents, licences and similar rights - over 1 year;
Internally developed intangible assets - over 7 years;
Other intangible assets - over 2 to 7 years.

Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts (if separable) acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.

Trademarks are used to identify and distinguish specific brand names of companies. The rights to use brand names have a set expiry date, however it is renewable at a notional cost. The group intends to renew the trademark continuously and past evidence supports its ability to do so. An analysis of future cash flows provides evidence that the brands will generate net cash inflows for the group for an indefinite period. Therefore, the trademarks are considered to have infinite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses if the recoverable amount is lower than carrying value. Such impairment testing is done annually by allocating trademarks to relevant CGUs and estimating their value in use (VIU). Please see Note 21 for further details.

Property, plant and equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as described below. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items:

Computers - over 3 years;
Furniture - over 5 years;
Vehicles - over 5 years;
Leasehold improvements - over lease term;
Other equipment - over 2 years.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only then when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The carrying values of equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of equipment is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the impairment expense caption.

An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of profit and loss in the year the item is derecognized.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Rental fleet

Rental fleet includes assets leased by the Group (as lessor) under operating leases. Group accounts for the underlying assets in accordance with IAS 16. Depreciation policy for the underlying assets subject to operating leases is consistent with the Group's depreciation policy for similar assets (vehicles) and amounts to 7 years.

Group adds initial direct costs, including The Global Positioning System (GPS) costs and dealership commissions, incurred in obtaining the operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognizes those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

The Group applies the general principles described under 'Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions' (Note 3) to determine whether an underlying asset subject to an operating lease may have residual value unrecoverable and impairment loss may need to be recognized.

Financial assets

Financial instruments – initial recognition

Date of recognition

Loans and advances to customers are recognized when funds are transferred to the customers' accounts. Other assets are recognized on the date when Group enters into the contract giving rise to the financial instruments.

Initial measurement of financial instruments

The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on their contractual terms and the business model for managing the instruments, as described further in the accounting policies. Financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value (which is generally equal to the transaction price) adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at FVPL.

Classification of financial assets

The Group measures Loans and advances to customers, Loans to related parties, Receivables from related parties, cash equivalents and Other loans and receivables at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Business model assessment

The Group determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective - the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and the way those risks are managed. The frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and its expectations about future sales activity are also important aspects of the Group's assessment. However, information about sales activity is not considered in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Group's stated objective for managing the financial assets is achieved and how cash flows are realised. The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or 'stress case' scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realized in a way that is different from the Group's original expectations, the Group does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward. The assessed business model is with the intention to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. Sales that take place from these portfolios relate to credit events. Loans from portfolios might be sold to debt collector agencies when underlying debtors have defaulted on their obligations. When, and only when, an entity changes its business model for managing financial assets it shall reclassify all affected financial assets. No financial liability reclassifications take place.

SPPI test

As a second step of its classification process the Group assesses, where relevant, the contractual terms of the financial assets to identify whether they meet the SPPI test. Financial assets subject to SPPI testing are loans and advances to customers (including financial assets arising from sales and leaseback transactions, as discussed in a separate section of this note) and loans to related parties that solely include payments of principal and interest. 'Principal' for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortization of the premium/discount). The most significant elements of interest within a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.

  • In making the assessment, the Group principally considers:
  • contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows;
  • prepayment and extension terms; and
  • terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse loans).

In general, the loan contracts stipulate that in case of default and collateral repossession the claim is not limited to the collateral repossession and if the collateral value does not cover the remaining debt, additional resources can still be claimed from the borrower to compensate for credit risk losses. Accordingly, this aspect does not create obstacles to passing SPPI test. However, in some cases, loans made by the Group that are secured by collateral of the borrower limit the Group's claim to cash flows of the underlying collateral (non-recourse loans). The group applies judgment in assessing whether the non-recourse loans meet the SPPI criterion. The Group typically considers the following information when making this judgement:

  • whether the contractual arrangement specifically defines the amounts and dates of the cash payments of the loan;
  • the fair value of the collateral relative to the amount of the underlying loan;
  • the ability and willingness of the borrower to make contractual payments, notwithstanding a decline in the value of collateral;
  • the Group's risk of loss on the asset relative to a full-recourse loan; and
  • whether the Group will benefit from any upside from the underlying assets.
  • According to the judgement made the non-recourse loans that are secured by collateral of the borrower meet the SPPI criterion.

Embedded derivatives

The Group has certain call and put option agreements that can accelerate repayment of the issued bonds. These options arise out of bond (host contract) prospectus and individual agreements with certain bondholders and meet the definition of an embedded derivative in accordance with IFRS 9. An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided that, in the case of a nonfinancial variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract. A derivative that is attached to a financial instrument, but is contractually transferable independently of that instrument, or has a different counterparty from that instrument, is not an embedded derivative, but a separate financial instrument. The Group accounts for an embedded derivative separately from the host contract when:

  • the host contract is not an asset in the scope of IFRS 9;
  • the host contract is not itself carried at FVPL;
  • the terms of the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative if they were contained in a separate contract; and
  • the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract.

Separated embedded derivatives are measured at fair value, with all changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss (unless they form part of a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedging relationship) and presented in the statement of financial position together with the host contract. The Group has derivatives embedded in financial liabilities and non-financial host contracts, see further information under 'Separation of embedded derivatives from the host contract' (Note 3). Financial assets are classified based on the business model and SPPI assessments as outlined above. Please refer to Note 3 for further discussion on embedded derivative details and considerations of separability.

The Group also has receivables recognized at fair value due to them containing a derivative element. When measuring the fair value of an asset, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques.

Reclassification of financial assets

The Group does not reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional circumstances in which the Group acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line and changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

Financial liabilities are never reclassified. The Group did not reclassify any of its financial assets or liabilities in 2023 nor 2022.

Derecognition of financial assets and finance lease receivables

Derecognition provisions below apply to all financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Derecognition due to substantial modification of terms and conditions

The Group derecognizes a loan to a customer or a finance lease receivable when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan or lease, with the difference recognized as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded. The newly recognized loans are classified as Stage 1 for ECL measurement purposes, unless the new financial asset is deemed to be purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI).

When assessing whether or not to derecognize a financial asset, the Group evaluates whether the cash flows of the modified asset are substantially different and the Group considers the following qualitative factors:

  • Change in currency of the loan
  • Change in counterparty
  • If the modification is such that the instrument would no longer meet the SPPI criterion for financial asset
  • Whether legal obligations have been extinguished.

  • Furthermore, for loans to customers and financial lease receivables the Group specifically considers the purpose of the modification for increase in loan principal. It is evaluated whether modification was entered into for commercial reasons upon customer initiative or for credit restructuring reasons.

Management has performed analysis of the changes being made due to business reasons and evaluated that changes due to business reasons result in substantial modification of terms and conditions. This is in line with the objective of this modification that is to originate a new asset with substantially different present value of expected cash flows. If the customer was not in delay, and the principal was increase on a mutual agreement, the respective modification is considered to occur for a commercial reasons and results in derecognition of the initial lease/loan receivable.

Other modifications to the agreement terms are treated as modifications that do not result in derecognition (see section on Modifications below).

Derecognition other than for substantial modification

A financial asset or finance lease receivable (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or finance lease receivable or part of a group of similar financial assets or finance lease receivables) is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or finance lease receivable have expired. The Group also derecognizes the financial asset or finance lease receivable if it has both transferred the financial asset or finance lease receivable and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. The Group has transferred the financial asset or finance lease receivable if the Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or finance lease receivable.

The Group has transferred the asset if, and only if, either:

  • The Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset or

  • It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass–through' arrangement.

Pass-through arrangements are transactions when Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the 'eventual recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met: - Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances by the

entity with the right of full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates;

  • Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients for the obligation to pay them cash flows;

  • Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Group is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents during the short settlement period from the collection date to the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients, and interest earned on such investments is passed to the eventual recipients.

A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either:

  • The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
  • The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Modifications

The Group sometimes makes modifications to the original terms of loans/lease as a response to the borrower's financial difficulties, rather than taking possession or to otherwise enforce collection of collateral. The Group considers a lease/loan restructured when such modifications are provided as a result of the borrower's present or expected financial difficulties and the Group would not have agreed to them if the borrower had been financially healthy. Indicators of financial difficulties include default or DPDs prior to the modifications. Such modifications may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions.

If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, as set out in the preceding section, the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the Group records a modification gain or loss in interest revenue/expenses calculated using the effective interest method (Note 4, 5) in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded (Note 7). Further information on modified financial assets and finance lease receivables is disclosed in the following section on impairment.

Further, as described in section on 'Derecognition due to substantial modification of terms and conditions' if modification is performed for commercial reasons, then it is considered to result in derecognition of the initial lease/loan receivable. Such modifications include increase in the lease amount and increase in lease term, which are agreed upon with customers for commercial reasons (i.e.-, customers and the Group are both interested in substantially modifying the scope of the lease/loan transaction). Whenever such an agreement to modify is reached the old agreement and respective receivable is derecognized.

Treatment of non-substantial modifications

If expectations of fixed rate financial assets' cash flows (such assets present core part of Group' s financial asset base) are revised for reasons other than credit risk, then changes to future contractual cash flows are discounted at the original EIR with a consequential adjustment to the carrying amount. The difference from the previous carrying amount is booked as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the financial asset on the consolidated statement of financial position with a corresponding increase or decrease in Interest revenue/expense calculated using the effective interest method.

The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability is adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments or receipts. If modification of a financial asset or liability measured at amortized cost does not result in the derecognition a modification gain/loss is calculated. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the revised effective interest rate and the change in carrying amount is recorded as interest income or expense.

Changes in the contractual cash flows of the asset are recognized in statement of profit and loss and any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial asset and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified instrument. Therefore, the original EIR determined at initial recognition is revised on modification to reflect any costs or fees incurred.

Overview of the expected credit loss principles

The Group recognizes the allowance for expected credit losses for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at FVPL and finance lease receivables (as due to lease contract specifics lease receivable does not contain any unguaranteed residual value, IFRS 9 provisions apply to full finance lease receivable balance). In this section all referred to as 'financial instruments'.

If there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, the ECL allowance is based on the 12 months' expected credit loss (12mECL) as outlined in below. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected credit loss or LTECL). The Group's policies for determining if there has been a significant increase in credit risk are set out in below.

The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments.

The Group has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. This is further explained in section on Significant increase in credit risk (Note 3).

Impairment of finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers

Defining credit rating

The Group's core business assets – financial lease receivables and loans and advances to customers – are of retail nature, they are therefore grouped per countries and products (finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers) for a collective ECL calculation that is modelled based on DPD (days past due) classification. Specifically, the Group analyzes its portfolio of finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers by segregating receivables in categories according to: country, product group, days past due and presence of underlying collateral (for secured products). Financial lease receivables and secured loans (more specifically vehicle secured loans) are combined together due to similar nature of the products.

The Group continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12m ECL or LTECL, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. When estimating ECLs on a collective basis for a group of similar assets, the Group applies the same principles for assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition across the portfolios within the country based on product type – lease or loan product.

The Group segregates finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers in the following categories:

Finance lease receivables and secured loans (mature countries*):

  • 1) Not past due
  • 2) Days past due up to 30 days
  • 3) Days past due 31 up to 60 days
  • 4) Days past due over 60 days

5) unsecured (general definition: days past due over 90 or collateral is not available, i.e. lost or sold).

* - Matured countries - Operations in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Romania, Moldova.

Operations in these countries are the longest, with the smoothest processes, therefore consistent lending practices in these countries have a long enough track record. Refer to Eleving Vehicle Finance only.

Finance lease receivables and secured loans (non-mature countries*):

1) Not past due

  • 2) Days past due up to 25 days (up to 30 days for Africa region)
  • 3) Days past due 26 up to 34 days (31 34 days for Africa region)

4) Days past due over 35 days

5) unsecured (general definition: days past due over 90 or collateral is not available, i.e. lost or sold).

* - Non-matured countries - Operations in Kenya, Uganda and Uzbekistan. Refer to Eleving Vehicle Finance only.

Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loans, refer to Eleving Vehicle Finance only):

  • 1) Not past due
  • 2) Days past due up to 30 days
  • 3) Days past due 31 up to 60 days
  • 4) Days past due over 60 days

Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loans, acquired businesses*):

  • 1) Not past due
  • 2) Days past due up to 30 days

3) Days past due 31 up to 60 days

  • 4) Days past due 61 up to 90 days
  • 5) Days past due over 90 days

* - Businesses acquired during 2020 and 2023 – the term refers to unsecured consumer lending companies acquired in 2020 and 2023; acquired companies operate in Moldova, Ukraine, North Macedonia, Albania, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Lesotho. Term is introduced to distinguish unsecured consumer lending operations in these countries from Eleving greenfield investments into unsecured consumer lending operations in Latvia, Estonia, Armenia and Lithuania as there are differences in product set up and processes.

Before the acquisition of consumer unsecured portfolios, the Group made due diligence on the impairment of respective portfolios. It was concluded that applied methodology is inline with the IFRS9 standard, it is well aligned with debt collections and other critical business processes and it is quite prudent. Although methodology differed from the one applied for Mogo unsecured portfolios it was decided to keep the applied methodology.

Based on the above process, the Group groups its leases and loans into Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3, as described below:

The Group defines staging predominantly based on DPD and aligns it with the debt collections processes. For more accurate ECL assessment, split by stages is enhanced by healing bucket concept to reflect on cases when DPD is not a sufficient indicator of credit risk. This is applicable to lease portfolios and car loans (unsecured consumer loan where clients borrow a sum of money in order to purchase a car).

The Group's experience in lending suggests that DPD is a strong predictor of a credit default, thus DPD is the main quantitative factor for the backstop identification for Stage 2. Data from the Groups active vehicle operations (active 3+ years) shows that probability to reach default status over the next 12 months horizon is quite low for accounts which have 0 DPD and merely low for accounts with delay up to 30 DPD. Respective probabilities are higher for immature markets due to very strict default definition at 35 DPD. Additionally, debt collection process is structured in such way that the Group actively works with delaying clients at least 30 days. Recovery results show ~90% cure rate within 30 days for regular invoices. However, accounts with DPD 30 and more demonstrate probability to default within the next 12 months above 50% and thus based on the Group's management judgement clearly have signs of SICR.

The Group applies the rule that not more than 30 DPD should trigger backstop and transfer to Stage 2. It is set 30 DPD for matured countries lease portfolios, for African countries lease portfolios and consumer loan portfolios. For the sake of alignment with default definition for immature countries lease portfolios backstop is 25 DPD. Additionally, to reflect on significant increase in credit risk (SICR) in the case when DPD is not a sufficient indicator the Group have introduced Healing state.

Healing state concept is applied for lease assets and car loans, and it is applied in the case of:

  • Lease contract recoveries during middle DC stage – after 30 delay days for matured counties and after 26 delay days for immature (2 months period from reporting date is observed).

  • Lease contract delaying 26-30 days for immature countries.

  • Lease contract renewal after termination or theoretical renewal (returning to active portfolio without terminating the agreement) after default (including countries without termination functionality). In these cases, 2 months period from reporting date is observed.

  • Only for immature Africa's countries – restructurings due to credit reasons. In 2021 year, the Group decided to supplement healing bucket definition for Africa's countries as a reaction on massive usage of such amendments as an effective DC tool. At current stage the Group cannot evaluate increase in credit risk for such cases due to insufficient history, therefor uses more prudent approach for balance staging.

In such cases the exposures are included in Stage 2 for a period of two months. Afterwards SICR related to the event is settled and exposure is allocated to the stage based on DPD.

  • Stage 1: When loans/leases are first recognized, the Group recognizes an allowance based on 12mECLs. The Group considers leases and loans that are current or with DPD up to 30 (up to 25 DPD in non-mature countries) as Stage 1. A healing period of 2 months is applied before an exposure previously classified as Stage 2 can be transferred to Stage 1 and such an exposure must meet the general Stage 1 DPD criteria above. Healing period concept is applicable to lease portfolios and car loans. Exposures are classified out of Stage 1 if they no longer meet the criteria above.

  • Stage 2: When a loan/lease has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Group records an allowance for the LTECLs. The Group generally considers leases, secured loans and car loans that have a status of 31-60 DPD (matured countries) and 26-34 DPD (non-matured countries) to being Stage 2. An unsecured loan is considered Stage 2 if DPD is in the range of 30 to 60 or 30 to 90 days for acquired businesses. Lease exposures remain in Stage 2 for a healing period of 2 months, even if they otherwise would meet Stage 1 criteria above during this period.

  • Stage 3: Leases and loans considered credit-impaired and at default. The Group records an allowance for the LTECLs. The Group considers a finance lease agreement, secured loan and car loans agreement defaulted and therefore Stage 3 in all cases when the borrower becomes 61 DPD (matured countries) or 35 DPD (non-matured countries) on its contractual payments or the lease/ loan agreement is terminated. The Group considers an unsecured loan agreement defaulted and therefore Stage 3 in all cases when the borrower becomes 91 days past due for acquired businesses on its contractual payments.

The difference in default definition for unsecured consumer loan agreements is driven by different business processes, product set up and development history in greenfield and acquired operations. Debt collections practices applied in Latvia, Estonia, Armenia and Lithuania for leases and secured loans were transferred to unsecured operations, thus active in-house debt collections process runs until DPD 60. After that exposure is either sold, or legal execution starts, or settlement process is enabled. Acquired businesses have active in-house debt collections process running until DPD 90. After that exposure is transferred to external agencies for the debt collections. Later it is either sold or legal execution starts.

Macroeconomic shocks, geopolitical crisis, and other unpredictable situations: business adoption and reflection in Impairment, impact on SICR.

The first years of this decade have heralded a particularly disruptive period in human history. The return to a "new normal" following the COVID-19 pandemic was quickly disrupted by the outbreak of war in Ukraine, ushering in a fresh series of crises in food and energy – triggering problems that decades of progress had sought to solve. Majority of Group Countries returned to "older" risks as inflation, cost-of-living crises, widespread social unrest, geopolitical confrontation which negatively impacted Group's operations and caused increase in credit risk.

Analysing and evaluating Group's responses to such non-standard situations in past, management decided to keep and maintain introduced during Covid-19 pandemic so-called TDR (temporary debt restructuring) program. Forbearance tools (TDR and restructuring, i.e., change of the original payment schedule) is almost the only feasible solution to reduce financial burden on customers crisis circumstances, thus fact of the forbearance as such does not lead to the recognition of SICR if customer pays according to new terms and later returns to the original schedule or close to it.

Following the crisis situation Group's management might decide to activate TDR program for certain market for defined period (from 3 to 6 months). In mentioned situation – cases where the Group has sound grounds to expect customer to return to the regular discipline not longer than in 12-month time should not be classified as SICR even if customer has been granted forbearance tool.

Temporary debt restructuring (TDR) and other forbearance tools:

  1. Alternative schedule (AS) – a temporary reduction of monthly payment, typically not more than 50%. Customers use this option for several,

e.g. 3-6 months in row.

  1. Extension – is a payment holiday for 1 month. Customer pays extension fee (in some cases free extensions are possible) and returns to the original schedule in next 1-3 months.

  2. Restructurings – permanent amendment of the schedule (term end increase, monthly payment decrease, interest decrease).

TDR is granted upon customer's request. Customer is on TDR program if he complies with agreed terms (no SICR is recognized). If terms are breached customer returns to the original schedule and his credit risk is assessed as per actual DPD.

The calculation of ECLs

The Group calculates ECLs based on probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR.

A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. Key elements of the model are, as follows:

  • PD The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a 12 month or lifetime horizon (time horizon depends on ECL type - i.e. 12mECL or LTECL); - the Default distribution vector (DDV) is the estimate of the time to default, more specifically it provides distribution of PD over the course of a 12 month or lifetime horizon; Specifically, how many defaulted loans during 12 months/ lifetime defaulted during 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. month started from certain moment of time (evaluation starting point);

  • EAD The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, considering expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise;

  • LGD The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the cash flows due at the moment of default and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral and deducting expenses related to cash collections or collateral realization processes. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the defaulted balance;

  • lifetime period is estimated as average remaining contractual term of respective portfolio.

Significant judgments used for determining PD and LGD are described in Note 3. The Group may choose to use actual balance instead of EAD and do not apply DDV for the segments with the elevated credit risk.

ECL=EAD*PD*LGD*[DDV] The Group employs multiplication model across all Stages for the ECL calculation:

Given that DDV is a multidimensional vector (generally 12 or 13 dimensions, but can be shorter if representative historical data is available for s a shorter period ) it is aggregated into one value before multiplication - [DDV]. DDV aggregated value is obtained as follows:

  • each value of the DDV is multiplied with discount factor;

  • discount factor is calculated in a regular way (e.g. NPV formula), where discount is calculated on EIR of the portfolio and number of periods corresponds to the dimension of the respective DDV value;

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

  • [DDV] is the sum of all respective multiplications of DDV values with respective discount factors.

Depending on the Stage the following specifics are applied to the general ECL model:

  • Stage 1: The 12mECL is calculated. The Group calculates the 12mECL allowance using 12 months (or shorter if lifetime of the product is less than 12 months) PDs and DDV over the 12-month horizon. These 12-month default probabilities are applied to an estimated EAD and multiplied by the expected LGD and discounted by an approximation to the original EIR using DDV, in this way incorporating time to default into model.

  • Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Group records an allowance for the LTECLs. The mechanics are like those explained above, but PDs and DDV are estimated over the lifetime of the instrument. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted by an approximation to the original EIR using DDV. - Stage 3: For loans considered credit-impaired, the Group recognizes the LTECLs for these loans. The method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.

ECL on restructured and modified loans

Some types of modifications performed to customers that serve to renegotiate terms of an agreement that was previously in default result in continued Stage 3 treatment during the one month healing period for mature countries followed by 2 months of healing period in Stage 2. For immature countries due to the nature of the default definition and lack of ability to renew terminated agreements, exposure enters Stage 2 directly. In case of modification for credit reasons prior to default (generally term extension), exposure is moved to Stage 2 for a healing period of 2 months.

Write off of unrecoverable debts

The Group considers any kind of receivable completely unrecoverable and writes off the receivable from balance sheet entirely if all legal actions have been performed to recover the receivable and the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the exposure.

Impairment of contract assets and financial assets other than lease receivables and loans and advances to customers

Further financial assets where the Group calculates ECL on an individual basis or collective basis are:

  • Other receivables from customers/contract assets on collective basis;
  • Loans and advance payments to related parties on individual basis;
  • Trade receivables on collective basis;
  • Cash and cash equivalents on individual basis;
  • Deposits on individual basis.

Financial assets are aggregated in categories considering the similarities of key risk characteristics and nature of each of these.

The Group assesses the impairment for other receivables from customers/contract assets on a collective basis at country level. For the rest of financial assets other than finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers the Group calculates ECL on an individual basis.

Impairment of other receivables from customers/contract assets

During the course of business, the Group may have other type of claims against its leasing customers. In such cases, considering the portfolio features, the ECL methodology of the related lease receivable is mirrored and the ECL mirrors the impairment of the lease receivable. The Group considers other receivables from customers/contract assets that are current or with DPD up to 25 as Stage 1. A healing period of 5 days is applied before an exposure previously classified as Stage 2 can be transferred to Stage 1. The Group generally considers other receivables from customers/contract assets that have a status of 26-34 DPD to be Stage 2 loans. The Group considers financial assets defaulted and therefore Stage 3 in all cases when the borrower becomes 35 DPD.

For other receivables and contract assets that are not related to lease portfolio receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The ECL recorded is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

Impairment for loans and advance payments to related parties, trade receivables

Receivables from related parties inherently are subject to the Group's credit risk. Therefore, a benchmarked PD and LGD rate - based on Standard & Poor's corporate statistics studies has been applied in determining the ECLs. For related party exposures Stage 2 and lifetime ECL calculation is applied based on 30 day back stop and 90 day back stop is applied to Stage 3 determination. Further qualitative factors evaluated include extension of the payment terms granted, previous arrears in the last 12 months and significant adverse changes in business.

Impairment of cash and cash equivalents and deposits

For cash and cash equivalents default is considered as soon as balances are not cleared beyond conventional banking settlement timeline, ie., a few days. Therefore, transition is straight from Stage 1 to Stage 3 given the low number of days that it would take the exposure to reach Stage 3 classification, meaning default. For cash and cash equivalents no Stage 2 is applied given that any past due days would result in default. When calculating the impairment for a bank deposit, any loans or other credit facilities granted by the credit institution to the Group is being set off against the deposits if the bank has a contractual right to offset in case of resolution. Hence, the ECL is recognized on the net amount.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans and borrowings, including funding attracted through peer-to-peer platforms as well as subordinated borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such upon initial recognition. Net gains or losses, including any interest expense, on liabilities held at FVTPL are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and borrowings

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized; interest expense is recognized through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Subordinated borrowings

The Group recognizes liabilities as subordinated borrowings if it is an unsecured loan or bond that ranks below other, more senior loans or securities, and have lower payment priority than more senior debt. Accordingly, the claims of more senior debt holders must be satisfied before the holders of subordinated debt can be paid. In the case of default, creditors who own subordinated debt will not be paid out until after more senior creditors are paid in full.

Borrowings are calssified as subordinated only if respective agreements contain dedicated clauses defining the borrowing as subordinated.

Modification of financial liabilities

For financial liabilities, the Group considers a modification substantial based on qualitative factors and if it results in a difference between the adjusted discounted present value and the original carrying amount of the financial liability of, or greater than, ten percent. If the modification is substantial, then a derecognition gain or loss is recorded on derecognition. If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the Group records a modification gain or loss.

Treatment of non-substantial modifications

If expectations of fixed rate financial liabilities' cash flows are revised, then changes to future contractual cash flows are discounted at the original EIR with a consequential adjustment to the carrying amount. The difference from the previous carrying amount is booked as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the financial liability on the consolidated statement of financial position with a corresponding increase or decrease in Interest revenue/expense calculated using the effective interest method.

The carrying amount of the financial liability is adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments or receipts. If modification of a financial liability measured at amortized cost does not result in the derecognition a modification gain/loss is calculated. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original effective interest rate and the change in carrying amount is recorded as interest income or expense (Note 5).

Changes in the contractual cash flows of the asset are recognized in statement of profit and loss and any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial asset or liability and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified instrument. Therefore, the original EIR determined at initial recognition is revised on modification to reflect any costs or fees incurred.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

The Group considers a modification substantial based on qualitative factors and if it results in a difference between the adjusted discounted present value and the original carrying amount of the financial liability of, or greater than, ten percent.

Equity - accounted investees

The Group interests in equity-accounted investees comprise investment in associate. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized as cost, which includes transaction costs. As the Group gained significant influence over its associate after losing control over the investee, the deemed cost is the fair value of the interest retained subsequent to the loss of control. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, until the date on which significant influence ceases. Unrealised gain arising from transactions with associate are eliminated against the investments to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Group as a Lessor - Finance lease

Whilst financial lease receivables that represent financial instruments and to which IFRS 16 applies are within the scope of IAS 32 and IFRS 7, they are only within the scope of IFRS 9 to the extent that they are (1) subject to the derecognition provisions, (2) 'expected credit loss' requirements, (3) the relevant provisions that apply to derivatives embedded within leases, and (4) relate to sale and leaseback transactions as outlined in this note under the title Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

Group is engaged in financial lease transactions by selling vehicles to its customers through financial lease contracts. The Group earns its profits predominantly from finance income over the lease term and not from initial selling profit.

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The inception of the lease is the earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease. As of this date:

  • a lease is classified as a finance lease; and

  • the amounts to be recognized at the commencement of the lease term are determined.

The commencement of the lease is the date from which the lessee is entitled to exercise its right to use the leased asset. It is the date of initial recognition of the lease (i.e. the recognition of the assets, liabilities, income or expenses resulting from the lease, as appropriate).

A lease is classified as a finance lease at the inception of the lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. The inception of the lease is the earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease. As of this date:

  • the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;

  • the lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a price which is expected to be sufficiently lower than fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable that, at the inception of the lease, it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised;

  • the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset, even if title is not transferred;

  • at the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset.

Further indicators that individually or in combination would also lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are:

  • the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor's losses associated with the cancellation are borne by the lessee;
  • gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual accrue to the lessee.

Initial measurement

  • At lease commencement, the Group accounts for a finance lease, as follows:
  • derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset; and
  • recognizes the net investment in the lease.

Upon commencement of finance lease, the Group records the net investment in leases, which consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable by a lessor under a finance lease, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The contracts with the customers stipulate that the title to the lease object passes to the lessee at the end of the lease term; hence, no unguaranteed residual value accrues to the lessor. The difference between the gross investment and the net investment is recorded as unearned finance lease income. Initial direct costs, such as client commissions and commissions paid by the Group to car dealers, are included in the initial measurement of the lease receivables.

Based on contractual provisions, prepayments and other payments received from customers are normally recorded in statement of financial position upon receipt and settled against respective client's finance lease receivables agreement at the moment of issuing next monthly invoice according to the agreement schedule.

Subsequent measurement

Finance lease income consists of the amortization of unearned finance lease income. Finance lease income is recognized based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment according to effective interest rate in respect of the finance lease. Group applies the lease payments relating to the period against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income.

The Group recognizes income from variable payments that are not included in the net investment in the lease (e.g. performance based variable payments, such as penalties or debt collection income) separately in the period in which the income is earned. The lease term does not reflect the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease due to high termination fees and resulting low probability of option exercise. Such income is recognized under "Fee and commission income" (Note 6).

After lease commencement, the net investment in a lease is not remeasured unless the lease is modified and the modified lease is not accounted for as a separate contract or the lease term is revised when there is a change in the non-cancellable period of the lease. Group applies derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease.

Group as a Lessor - Operating lease

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit and loss. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. No maintenance fee is charged to the customers.

Group as a Lessee

Lease liability

Initial recognition

At the commencement date of the lease the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date in accordance with lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;
  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The Group has elected for all classes of underlying assets not to separate non-lease components from lease components in lease payments. Instead Group accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the Group has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both:

(a) Periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

(b) Periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

At the commencement date, the Group assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or to purchase the underlying asset, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.

Subsequent measurement

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability by:

  • increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
  • reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and
  • remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Right-of-use assets

Initial recognition

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprises:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are to produce inventories.

Subsequent measurement

Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for the remeasurement of the lease liability (which may take place when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, when there is change in estimated amounts payable under residual value guarantee or there is a change of assessment of extension, purchase or termination option) . Depreciation of the right-of-use asset is recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

Group involvement with the underlying asset before the commencement date

If a Group incurs costs relating to the construction or design of an underlying asset, the lessee accounts for those costs applying other IFRS, such as IAS 16. Costs relating to the construction or design of an underlying asset do not include payments made by the lessee for the right to use the underlying asset.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Initial recognition exemptions applied

As a recognition exemption the Group elects not to apply the recognition requirements of right-of-use asset and lease liability to:

(a) Short term leases – for all classes of underlying assets; and

(b) Leases of low-value assets – on a lease-by-lease basis.

For leases qualifying as short-term leases and/or leases of low-value assets, the Group does not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term.

A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 3 months or less. A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease. This lease exemption is applied for all classes of underlying assets.

(b) Leases of low-value assets

(a) Short term leases

The Group defines a low-value asset as one that:

1) has a value, when new of 5 000 EUR or less. Group assesses the value of an underlying asset based on the value of the asset when it is new, regardless of the age of the asset being leased.

2) the Group can benefit from use of the assets on its own, or together with, other resources that are readily available to the Group; and

3) the underlying asset is not dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other assets.

Sale and leaseback transactions

Group also engages in financing of vehicles already owned by the customers. Under such leaseback transactions the Group purchases the underlying asset and then leases it back to the same customer. Vehicle serves as a collateral to secure all leases. The Group applies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset. If the transfer of an asset by the seller-lessee does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the buyer-lessor shall not recognise the transferred asset and shall recognise a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial asset as loans and advances to customers by applying IFRS 9.

The Group has performed SPPI test for its sale and leaseback arrangements. Vehicle serves as a collateral to secure all of such loans. Sale and leaseback contracts include contractual terms that can vary the contractual cash flows in a way that is unrelated to a basic lending arrangement. Such cash flows arise in the case or borrowers' default and are related to repossessed car sales for which any excess gains can be retained by the Group in certain jurisdictions and commissions and other fees charged to the customer that are not directly linked to outstanding principal/interest (e.g. external debt recovery costs being charged to clients with mark-up). Other contract elements relevant to SPPI assessment for components in certain jurisdictions include the leased asset repurchase options, where the option value is below the car market value at the moment of exercise and significant termination penalties for certain non-recourse contracts.

The Group has made relevant judgements and concluded that SPPI test is met in all above circumstances as 1) repossession commissions and fees charged by the Group are intended to cover the costs incurred by the Group in the debt servicing process under regular lending model, 2) the fact that in certain jurisdictions the Group maintains proceeds from sale of repossessed car in excess of recovered exposure (if applicable) is not an evidence that the risk taken up by the Group is in fact the price risk of the car and not the credit risk. The Group is able to sell the collateral and keep any surplus only on default and the occasional trivial gains from the transaction are not the purpose of the core business model (which is to earn interest income from the loan asset) and are not the focus of the business, but instead are just an instrument to minimise the credit losses, 3) termination penalties for non-recourse sale and leaseback transactions charged to the customers in certain jurisdictions are also contractual elements intended to compensate for credit risk and do not result in any notable net gains to the Group.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories contain only vehicles which are purchased for the sole purpose of selling them to customers.

Value of inventories is measured by using specific identification of individual unit cost. Disposal of each individual stock item is performed on sale of respective individual stock item.

Accrued revenue or expenses from currency trading

The Group recognizes accrued income or expenses from transactions of trading currency based on currency rates agreed for each currency hedging transaction. The difference between hedging rate and currency rate at year end is recognized as accrued income or expenses depending from mathematical result.

Assets held for sale

The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

Assets held for sale includes vehicles which are obtained by enforcement of repossession in case clients default on existing lease agreements. Such repossessed collaterals are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (FVLCTS). Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense. Once classified as held-for-sale, vehicles are no longer depreciated.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.

Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position.

Share premium

Share premium represents the amount subscribed for share capital in excess of nominal value.

Reserves

Luxembourg companies are required to allocate to a legal reserve a minimum of 5% of its annual net profit until this reserve equals 10% of the subscribed share capital. This reserve may not be distributed.

Lithuania companies are required to allocate to a legal reserve a minimum of 10% of its annual net profit until this reserve equals 10% of the subscribed share capital. This reserve may not be distributed.

Moldavian companies are required to allocate to a reserve capital amount in proportion of at least 5% of its annual net profit, until reserve capital equals 10% the amount of the share capital. The reserve capital of the company may be used only to cover losses or to increase its share capital.

Macedonian companies are required to allocate to a reserve capital amount in proportion of at least 5% of its annual net profit, until reserve capital equals 10% the amount of the share capital. The reserve capital of the company may be used only to cover losses or to increase its share capital. Reserve may be increased above 5% in order to meet capital adequacy ratio.

Romanian companies are required to allocate to a reserve capital amount in proportion of at least 5% of its annual net profit, until reserve capital equals 20% the amount of the share capital. The reserve capital of the company may be used only to cover losses or to increase its share capital.

Foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign operations.

Transactions with peer-to-peer platforms

Background

Certain subsidiaries, as loan originators, have signed cooperation agreements with operator of a peer-to-peer (P2P) investment internet-based platform. Cooperation agreements and the related assignment agreements are in force until parties agree to terminate. Purpose of the cooperation agreement for the Group is to attract funding through the P2P platform.

The P2P platform makes it possible for individual and corporate investors to obtain a fully proportionate interest cash flows and the principal cash flows from debt instruments (finance lease receivables or loans and advances to customers) issued by the Group in exchange for an upfront payment. These rights are established through assignment agreements between investors and P2P platform, who is acting as an agent on behalf of the Group. Assignment agreements are of two types:

1) Agreements with recourse rights which require the Group to guarantee full repayment of invested funds by the investor in case of default of Group's customer (buy back guarantee);

2) Agreements without recourse rights which do not require the Group to guarantee repayment of invested funds by the investor in case of default of the customer (no buy back guarantee).

The Group retains the legal title to its debt instruments (including payment collection), but transfers a part of equitable title and interest to investors through P2P platform.

Receivables and payables from/to P2P platform

The P2P platform is acting as an agent in transferring cash flows between the Group and investors. The receivable for attracted funding from investors through the P2P platform corresponds to the due payments from the P2P platform.

Receivable is arising from assignments made through P2P platform where the related investment is not yet transferred to the Group (Note 32).

P2P platform commissions and service fees incurred by the Group are fees charged by P2P platform for servicing the funding attracted through peer-to-peer platform and are disclosed in Note 9.

Funding attracted through peer-to-peer platform

Liabilities arising from assignments with or without recourse rights are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received from investors net of issue costs associated with the loan.

Liabilities to investors are recognized in statement of financial position caption Funding attracted through peer-to-peer platform (Note 38) and are treated as loans received.

After initial recognition the funding attracted through peer-to-peer platform is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss as interest income/ expense when the liabilities are derecognized.

The Group must repay to the investor the proportionate share of the attracted funding for each debt instrument according to the conditions of the respective individual agreement with the Group's client, which can be up to 72 months.

Assignments with recourse rights (buy back guarantee)

Assignments with recourse rights provide for direct recourse to the Group, thus do not meet the requirements to be classified as pass-through arrangement in accordance with IFRS 9. Specifically, neither investors, nor the P2P platform bear any risks in relation to creditworthiness of the Group's borrower. The Group is obliged, on first demand of the P2P platform, to repay all monies due if loan agreement with borrower defaults . Additionally, the Group retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

Therefore, the Group's respective debt instruments do not qualify to be considered for partial derecognition and interest expense paid to investors is shown in gross amount under Interest expense calculated using effective interest method (Note 5).

Assignments without recourse rights (no buy back guarantee)

On the contrary, assignments without recourse rights (the Group is not obliged to reimburse neither to investors nor to P2P platform if the borrower defaults) are arrangements that transfer to investors substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership equal to a fully proportionate share of the cash flows to be received from Group's debt instruments. Therefore such arrangements are classified as pass-through arrangements in accordance with IFRS 9.

As such, a fully proportionate share, equal to investor's claim in relation to the related debt instrument, is derecognized.

The derecognized part is accounted as an off-balance sheet item (Note 38) and interest income is recognized to the extent of being the residual interest. Residual interest is the difference between the interest earned on the respective debt instrument by the Group and the respective share of interest earned by the investor.

Provisions

In accordance with IAS 37, provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of provisions to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance cost.

The key provisions the Group recognizes are provisions for tax positions disputed with tax authorities.

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Share-based payments

The Group may grant share options of Subsidiaries to its employees. Share options are generally awarded on the first day of employment. A share-based payment is primarily a payment in equity instruments of the entity. Under certain circumstances there are cash settlement alternatives which are subject to cash settlement events occurring or entity's choice in certain scenarios. Given absence of an ongoing sale of subsidiaries or Eleving Group S.A., any listing process initiated and any other relevant cash settlement events, the cash settlement is considered not to be probable. The Group does not have a present obligation to settle in cash, therefore awards are classified as equity settled. The Group does not have a past practice of cash settlement for these awards.

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

Income and expenses

Expenses are recognized as incurred. Expenses are recognized net of the amount of value added tax. In certain situations value added tax incurred on a services received or calculated in accordance with legislation requirements is not recoverable in full from the taxation authority. In such cases value added tax is recognized as part of the related expense item as applicable. The same principles is applied if value added tax is not recoverable on acquisition an asset.

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the related standard's requirements and to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

The effective interest rate method

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost interest income or expense is recorded at the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses.

When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is regarded as 'Stage 3', the Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the net amortized cost of the financial asset. If the financial asset cures and is no longer credit-impaired, the Group reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.

Income from cession of bad debt

Gain or loss from sale of doubtful financial lease receivables and loans and advances to customers is presented on net basis under " Net loss from de-recognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost". Gains or losses arising on cession deals are recognized in the statement of profit and loss at transaction date as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying amount of derecognized lease receivables assigned through cession agreements.

Expenses related to attracting funding

Expenses related to attracting funding consists of administration fee for using peer-to-peer platform. Expenses are charged monthly and recognized in Group's statement of profit and loss when they occur.

Revenues and expenses from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers in scope of IFRS 15 encompasses sold goods or services provided as output of the Group's ordinary activities. The Group uses the following criteria to identify contracts with customers:

– the parties in the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;

– can be identified each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;

  • can be identified the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;
  • the contract has commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing or amount of the entity's future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract);
  • it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Performance obligations are promises in the contracts (either explicitly stated or implied) with Group's customers to transfer to the customers distinct goods or services. Promised goods or services represent separate performance obligations if the goods or services are distinct. A promised good or service is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with other readily available resources (i.e. distinct individually) and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (distinct within the context of the contract). Both of these criteria must be met to conclude that the good or service is distinct.

The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of equipment, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation to transfer a promised good or service to a customer. Revenue is recognized when customer obtains control of the respective good or service. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue from satisfied performance obligations is recognized over time, if one of the following criteria is met:

  • customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits;
  • customer controls the asset as it is created or enhanced;
  • the Group's performance creates an asset and has a right to payment for performance completed.

Payment terms for goods or services transferred to customers according to contract terms are within 45 to 60 days from the provision of services or sale of goods. The transaction price is generally determined by the contractually agreed conditions. Invoices typically are issued after the goods have been sold or service provided.

Key revenue streams the Group generates relate to provision of goods or services provided directly to end customer with no third party service/product provider involved. In such transactions the Group acts as a principal. However, for certain services, where other parties are involved, as described below, the Group performs assessment whether it acts as an agent or a principal. Such revenue streams include income from debt collection activities, income from providing registration services and income from agency services as described below.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Group's customers, the Group considers that it is a principal, if it obtains control of any one of the following:

a) a good or another asset from the other party that it then transfers to the customer;

b) a right to a service to be performed by the other party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity's behalf relevant for car registration income to conclude on principal presentation;

c) a good or service from the other party that it then combines with other goods or services in providing the specified good or service to the customer - relevant for debt collection income to conclude on agent presentation.

Fee and commission income (Note 6)

Income from debt collection activities and earned penalties (point in time)

Fee and commission income arises from contracts with customers. Accordingly, it results in a recognized financial instrument in the Group's financial statements that is partially in scope of IFRS 9 and partially in scope of IFRS 15. Therefore, the Group first applies IFRS 9 to separate and measure the part of the contract that is in the scope of IFRS 9 and then applies IFRS 15 to the residual.

Income from debt collection activities and penalties is recognized in Group's statement of profit and loss at the moment when the likelihood of consideration being settled for such services is high, therefore income is recognized only when actual payment for provided services is actually received.

Income from penalties arise in case customers breach the contractual terms of financial lease receivables and loans and advances to customers agreements, such as exceeding the payment date. In those situations Group is entitled to charge the customers in accordance with the agreement terms.

The Group recognizes income from penalties at the moment of cash receipt as likelihood and timing of settlement is uncertain. In case customers do not settle the penalty amount, the Group is entitled to enforce repossession of the collateral.

Debt collection activities revenue typically arises when customers delay the payments due. As a lessor, the Group has protective rights in the lease agreements with customers that require the customers to safeguard and maintain the condition of the vehicle, as it serves as a collateral to the lease. Group's revenue encompasses a compensation of internal and external costs incurred by the Group in relation to debt management, legal fees as well as repossession of vehicle in case of lease agreement termination and are recharged to the customers in accordance with the agreement terms. The performance obligation is satisfied when respective service has been provided.

Income from commissions (point in time)

Income from commissions arises from additional services provided by the Group to its customers. Main additional source of income from commissions is from premature termination of contracts by the initiative from a customer. Income is recognized at the moment of cash receipt as likelihood and timing of settlement is uncertain. The performance obligation is satisfied when respective service has been provided.

Income from providing registration services (point in time)

In certain countries, the Group provides vehicle registration services to its customers. The Group organizes the registration of the leased vehicles in with the state authorities on behalf of the customer, which is a separate service provided by the Group. Typically these services are performed before customers enter the finance lease agreements. Income from providing these services is recognized at the moment of providing the services. In majority of countries such services are not provided by the Group, as the customers perform registration procedures themselves and costs are covered by the customers directly without the need for such services from the Group. The performance obligation is satisfied when the respective service has been provided.

Revenue from car sales and other goods (Note 11)

Sale of motor vehicles and other goods (point in time)

The Group earns part of its revenues from the sales of used vehicles that were either bought from third parties or repossessed from its non-performing leasing customers . The Group is calculating minimum sales price based on initial cost or value after repossession plus additional cost incurred (e.g. repairs) and a margin added in order to make profit from the deal. The performance obligation is satisfied when the car is registered on client's name. Similarly the Group is selling mobile phones in Africa region.

Other operating income (Note 14)

Income from management services (over time)

The Group provides management services to its related parties. Income is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing these services. The performance obligation is satisfied as the respective service is being provided.

Revenue from agency services (point in time)

Agency services consist of different services, such as settlement of costs on behalf of 3rd parties and recharging those costs to customers. The Group is acting as an agent in provision of these services to the customers. Such services are provided with the intention to realize the economies of scale of purchasing power for a service that is both used by the Group and the 3rd party. The Group recognises revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified services to be provided by the other party. The performance obligation is satisfied when the respective service has been provided.

Variable consideration revenue from client acquisition (point in time)

The Group has entered into a contract with JSC Primero Finance on providing commercial client acquisition services with the variable component of the contract on 26 September, 2019.

The fee is paid on all concluded agreements with clients. The fee consists of two elements – fixed and variable. Fixed fee is set as % from total loan amount and is invoiced every month based on concluded agreement list for previous month. Variable fee part is an additional fee and is set as percentage dependant on the specific annual percentage rate (APR) threshold for each individual concluded agreement.

The fixed and variable part of client acquisition fee is calculated and invoiced monthly. The revenue from the fixed part of the fee is recognized at point in time as the corresponding performance obligations are satisfied, and there is no significant judgement applied to determine the transaction price or the satisfaction of the performance obligations.

The additional client acquisition fee is determined to be a variable consideration as it is based on the individual APR of each concluded agreement.

In the case of loan defaults, the parties agreed to measure the default loss. In the cases when not all outstanding debt has been covered after the collateral sale, the Group returns part (proportional to the uncovered debt) of the additional fee, which has been invoiced to JSC Primero Finance.

Contract balances

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration.

As at 31 December 2023 the Group did not have any contract assets in its consolidated statement of financial position.

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

These receivables are disclosed in balance sheet caption 'Trade receivables' (Note 31).

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 120 days. Accounting policies applicable to financial assets measured using amortized cost are applicable as described above in Note 2.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are extinguished and revenue is recognized when the Group performs under the contract.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

As at 31 December 2023 the Group does not have any contract liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position.

Income taxes

Income taxes include current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in profit and loss except to the extent that they are related to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group and the Parent Company operates.

Current corporate income tax rate for the Parent company is applied at the statutory rate of 24.94%. Current corporate income tax rates for the foreign subsidiaries are:

Country Tax rate Country Tax rate
Estonia* 20% Moldova 12%
Latvia* 20% Albania 15%
Lithuania 15% Belarus 20%
Georgia* 15% Ukraine 18%
Poland 19% Uzbekistan 7.5%
Romania 16% North Macedonia 10%
Kenya 30% Bosnia&Herzegovina 10%
Uganda 30% Lesotho 25%
Botswana 22% Eswatini 27.5%
Zambia 30% Namibia 32%
Mauritius 15%

* - as described further below corporate income tax in these countries is paid on distributed profits and deemed profit distributions only.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit / loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

In Latvia, Estonia and Georgia deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized starting from 2017 or before in accordance with local legislation. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities which were calculated and recognized previously have been reversed through the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the year when the legislation was amended (for Latvia: 2017).

In Latvia legal entities are not required to pay income tax on earned profits starting from 1 January 2018 in accordance with amendments made to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the Republic of Latvia. Corporate income tax is paid on distributed profits and deemed profit distributions. Consequently, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to undistributed profits. Starting from 1 January 2018, both distributed profits and deemed profit distributions are subject to the tax rate of 20 per cent of their gross amount, or 20/80 of net expense. Corporate income tax on dividends is recognized in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as expense in the reporting period when respective dividends are declared, while, as regards to other deemed profit items, at the time when expense is incurred in the reporting year.

Similar accounting policies are adopted in Estonia and Georgia.

Related parties

The parties are considered related when one party has a possibility to control the other one or has significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties of the Group are shareholders who could control or who have significant influence over the Group in accepting operating business decisions, key management personnel of the Group including members of Supervisory body – Audit committee and close family members of any above-mentioned persons, as well as entities over which those persons have a control or significant influence.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

The Group has defined that a person or a close member of that person's family is related to a reporting entity if that person:

  • has control or joint control of the reporting entity;
  • has significant influence over the reporting entity; or
  • is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity.

An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:

  • The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others);

  • One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);

  • Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • The entity is a post‑employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity;

  • The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);

  • A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity);

  • The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.

A related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a reporting entity and a related party, regardless of whether a price is charged.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Noncontrolling interest forms a separate component of the Group's equity.

Non-controlling interest are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the shareholders of the Group is recognized as a liability and as distribution of retained earnings in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders as the Group has the obligations to pay the dividend which cannot be withdrawn.

Subsequent events

Post-period-end events that provide additional information about the Group's position at the statement of financial position date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-period-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingencies. The most significant areas of estimation and judgement used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include assumptions used in Goodwill and other non-financial asset impairment tests, Impairment of financial assets, Determination of fair values and judgements around Going concern and military conflict in Ukraine impact assessment. They are described below among other estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates and conclusions are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Principal versus agent assessment

In provision of agency services (Note 14) the Group has assessed that it does not obtain control of these services before they are transferred to customers, as these services or goods are acquired on their behalf. Therefore, it is considered agent in these transactions.

The Group is also acting as an agent in purchasing specific goods and services from 3rd parties on behalf of customers - mainly legal, recruitment and similar services, as it does not obtain control of the service, does not incur inventory risk nor has discretion in determining the sales price. For all other revenue streams the Group concluded that it acts as a principal.

Other revenue streams where the Group involves third parties in the provision of services include income from debt collection activities (Group acts as an agent as it does not control the service before it is provided to the customer) and income from car registration services (Group acts as a principal as it controls the asset being registered for the prospective customer).

Goodwill and other non-financial asset impairment tests

The calculation of value in use for cash generating units among other is sensitive to the assumptions of discount rate and growth rates. These assumptions and their sensitivity are outlined in Note 21.

Determination of the FVLCTS of assets held for sale

Determination of the FVLCTS for repossessed vehicles is performed on an individual basis at the moment of the repossession.

Management's estimate is based on available data from historical sales transactions for such assets in previous reporting periods. The Group also considers factors such as historical actual average loss (if any) from the previous years. Management considers whether also events after the reporting year indicate a decline in the sales prices of such assets.

See further information in Note 35.

Estimation of the residual value of rental fleet

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that the expected residual value of the rental fleet asset at the end of the current rental period may not be recoverable. The residual value is an estimate of the amount that could be received from disposal of the vehicle at the reporting date if the asset were already of the age and in the condition that it will be in when Group expects to dispose of it (i.e. after expiration of the ultimate lease period, if any). Therefore, if any indication exists, in order to determine the recoverable amount for rental fleet assets, the management uses valuation models based on two methods primarily depending from the status of the lease agreement:

1) value in use (VIU) - for assets with active lease agreements; and

2) fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) - for assets with inactive lease agreements.

VIU is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash generating unit, both from its continuing use and ultimate disposal. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using WACC. In measuring VIU the Group bases its cash flow projections on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management's best estimate of the range of economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the asset covering in total 7-year period.

For assets with an inactive lease agreement the Group applies probability-weighted scenario in determining the possible future use of vehicles - secondary rent or disposal. The outcome of the probability-weighted scenario has been determined based on the Group's/Company's historical data. According to management assessment, the carrying amount of secondary rent assets is expected to be recovered principally through a continuing use of it rather than sale transactions, therefore VIU method has been applied.

For assets with an inactive agreement, for which the carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally through disposal, the Group determines the residual value based on FVLCOD method. Assumptions applied for determination of the FVLCOD of assets are based on making a reliable estimate of the price at which a transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions and on available data from historical sales transactions. The market price is being adjusted for car repair costs, which are estimated based on historical data for an average vehicle repair expenses occurred in 2022. In addition, management considers whether events after the reporting year indicate a decline in the sales prices of such assets. Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset or cash generating unit, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

For assets an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income unless the asset is carried at a revaluated amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

As at 31 December 2023 the Group recognised impairment of rental fleet. Please refer to Note 22.

Impairment of financial assets

The measurement of impairment losses under IFRS 9 across all categories of financial assets in scope requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. The Group's ECL calculations are outputs of complex models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgements and estimates include Probability of Default and Loss Given Default, judgment is applied also when determining significant increase in credit risk.

Impairment of finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers

The Probability of Default (PD)

The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, where default is defined as:

    1. 61 DPD (Finance lease receivables and secured loans, matured countries)
    1. 35 DPD (Finance lease receivables and secured loans, non-matured countries)
    1. 61 DPD Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loans, car loans)
    1. 91 DPD Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loans, acquired businesses).

In order to estimate PDs the Group utilizes Markov chains methodology. This methodology employs statistical analysis of historical transitions between delinquency buckets to estimate the probability that loan will eventually end up in default state which is set as absorbing state.

The Group uses 12-months continuous horizon window (or smaller if actual lifetime of the product is shorter), and estimation over lifetime is defined as nth power of 12-months matrix (n – depends on the estimated lifetime, e.g., if lifetime is 36-months then n=3).

Exposures are grouped into buckets of days past due (DPD) loans/leases.

Forward-looking macroeconomic indicators model for portfolio

Guided by IFRS 9, the Group assesses forward looking information and incorporates it into impairment model. Impairment change is modelled given expected future changes of macroeconomic factors' (hereinafter macro model). In 2021 the Group changed Hierarchical Bayes model approach to simplified approached based on relation analysis between changes in input variables and changes in PD and the Group expert's opinion. Macro model uses several assumptions which were agreed by group of experts. Model assumptions and historical periods for macroeconomic factors are reviewed and analyzed once per year considering available macroeconomic outlooks.

General description of the model

Macro model uses expected changes in macroeconomic indicators and assumes the same or similar change to Stage 1 PD. Model incorporates three macro indicators – unemployment rate, inflation rate and GDP annual growth rate, as more relevant for private individuals' financial stability evaluation. The model is based on actual and forecasted data points. Recalculated in December 2023 model includes macroeconomic indicators as of 2023 Q4 and average of all four 2024 quarter forecasts to predict the effect on Stage 1 PD. Data points average is taken to avoid significant indicator fluctuations due to forecast volatility. The Group built macroeconomic models for each country and business (vehicle/consumer) individually – LV, LT, EE, GE, AM, UZ, KE, UG, MD, RO, BY, MK, AL, LES, ZM, NM, BOT. Data for all cases is taken from the source: https://tradingeconomics.com/indicators. Forecasts are validated by National Banks forecasts.

For each macro indicator three scenarios are obtained – base, best and worse. Base scenario is based on actual data and forecasts. Worse and best scenario is obtained from base scenario increasing or decreasing base scenario by confidence interval of given macro indicator forecast. For each scenario is applied probability of occurring. The impact on PD from each macro indicator is calculated as weighted output across all three scenarios. As for all input macro indicators are applied weights according to their significance to the default rates of the Group customers then the final model output is obtained as sum of weighted output across all macro indicators.

Model's variables and assumptions

The model includes indicators which, based on the Group experts' opinion and used practice in industry, might have a significant impact on finance products default rates. Such indicators are also widely used by banking and non-banking industry across the world:

    1. GDP growth
    1. unemployment rate (UR) change
    1. inflation rate (IR) change.

There are several assumptions made in the model to accommodate the Group customer specifics.

Assumption 1. UR is one of the main variables in the model, and it significantly affects Stage 1 PD. Assumption 2. Okun's law holds in macro environment affected by macro-economic shocks.

Assumption 3. Typically, reasonably increasing inflation rate positively affects consumption and economy in general, and therefore reduces PD. However, the Groups customers rather suffers from increase in prices than benefit from income increase. Thus, the Group arrived at the assumption 3: increase in inflation in will affect customers negatively.

Determination of impact on PD based on macro indicator change

The model assumes relation between changes in macro indicators and Stage 1 PD change. If there is strong correlation between Stage 1 PD and macro indicator change then used linear regression equation to determine the impact on PD due to macro indicator changes. If there is no visible correlation between Stage 1 PD and macro indicators change then impact on PD is evaluated based on qualitative analysis of available data and reasonable experts' assumptions:

  1. For each macro indicator chosen 25 data points, one 0 point and another 24 points that reflects indicator change – 12 points with negative change and 12 data points with positive change. The distance between 2 adjacent points is the same for all 24 points and is evaluated considering historical changes in macro indicators.

  2. For PD impact determination relational table is built that describes linear or piecewise smooth function and its direction changes at 0 point. At 0 point assumed 0 PD impact. For other macro indicator change points impact on PD is evaluated individually based on historical PD rates and PD change in time, as well taking into account each country and product specifics. Then evaluated PD impacts on each macro indicator change point are summarized in table. This table remains fixed until the next year when impact on PD will be reviewed.

Weighted scenarios approach

To take into account possible economic fluctuations and uncertainty, three scenarios are considered and used for final calculation to arrive at weighted average probability:

    1. base case scenario based on actual data and forecasts by external source.
    1. worst case scenario based on expert judgement of potential worsening of macroeconomic indicators.
    1. best case scenario based on expert judgement of potential improvement of macroeconomic indicators.

Worse and best scenario is obtained from base scenario increasing or decreasing base scenario by confidence interval of given macro indicator forecast. Confidence intervals are available for each macroeconomic indicator forecast.

Each scenario also has a specific probability of occurring, which is configurable for each country separately to account for potential differences in macroeconomic outlooks. The Group's experts analyse Europe and World macroeconomic projections and opinions (for example [1], [2], [3]). The global economy is experiencing several turbulent challenges. Inflation higher than seen in several decades, tightening financial conditions in most regions, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic all weigh heavily on the outlook. Normalization of monetary and fiscal policies that delivered unprecedented support during the pandemic is cooling demand as policymakers aim to lower inflation back to target. But a growing share of economies are in a growth slowdown or outright contraction. The global economy's future health rests critically on the successful calibration of monetary policy, the course of the war in Ukraine, and the possibility of further pandemic-related supply-side disruptions.

Considering mentioned information, the Group applies at least 15% probability for worst-case scenario and only 5% for best-case. Last updated forecasts for macroeconomic indicators already reflect actual trends, for example – increase in inflation rate. At this stage base-case scenario is considered as a most possible but should be reviewed for Q2. Sensitivity test was done to evaluate impact from scenarios probability change. Changing worst-case scenario probability till 50%, no major effect on macro coefficient noticed. But, considering uncertainty in projections, macro coefficient was increased by 2pp for Eurozone countries.

Macro model results

To obtain final effect on PD from macro indicator change, applied weights for each macro indicator and the final result is taken as a weighted average of macro indicator PD effect. Weights are changed based on their significance in affecting default rate overall. Considering model main assumptions, the Group's experts evaluate historical relationship and chooses weights for each country individually. In most of the countries UR (unemployment rate) and IR (inflation rate) chosen as main macro indicators and higher weights are applied for them.

To account for future uncertainty in case the model yields positive PD correction, the Group decided to be prudent and not to apply improving PD effect for impairment correction.

Illustration of example: UR impact evaluation on PD:

Scenarios Current rate 2Y forecast Difference (p.p.) Likelihood of the
scenario
Impact on PD
Worst case scenario 7.400% 8.50% 1.1pp 15% 109.6%
Base case scenario 7.400% 7.40% 0pp 80% 100.0%
Best case scenario 7.400% 6.30% -1.1pp 5% 93.7%
Final macroeconomic correction 100% 101.1%

Loss Given Default

Group closely following recoveries from defaulted finance lease receivables and revises LGD rates every month for portfolios based on actual recoveries received.

  • The sample used for LGD calculation consists of all the finance lease receivables that have been defaulted historically. If termination of the contract happens before default state is reached, then loan is considered defaulted (early default) and it is considered in LGD sample. Subsequent recoveries on such loans are monitored on a monthly basis. Recoveries from regular collections process, car sales, cessions and legal process are followed.

  • Renewed leases (restored payments capacity after termination) also affect the LGD rate by incorporating recovered cash after renewal of the agreement and comparing it to the exposure at default of the agreements subsequently renewed, implying the cure rate. Cure rate from renewals is calculated over a three-year period. For the 31 December 2023 impairment purposes recovery rate for renewed cases were applied in range of 76% to 98% depending on the market. Above described LGD rate is used for all portfolio groups except for unsecured portfolio part. For unsecured portfolio part LGD is estimated using triangular recovery matrix on all unsecured cases. Received recovery is discounted with effective interest rate depending on the number of months between the date account got unsecured status and the date when recovery was received. Given that majority of the car sales happen before unsecured status, the LGD for unsecured portfolio is higher than for other buckets – as of 31 December 2023 Group average LGD unsecured for portfolios with DPD less than 360 DPD was 66%, respective LGD for portfolio older than 360 DPD was 94%.

Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loans, car loans)

For unsecured loans LGD is determined based on debt sales market activity and offered prices or based on historical recoveries. For the later stages (DPD 360) LGD is set to 100%.

Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loan, businesses acquired in 2020 and 2023)

LGD is calculated using triangle recovery matrix built on all defaulted loans. Received recovery is discounted with effective interest rate depending on the number of months between the date account got into default and the date when recovery was received. For later stages (DPD 360) LGD is set to 100%.

Exposure at default (EAD ) modelling

Exposure at default is modelled by adjusting the unpaid balance of lease and loan receivables as at the reporting date by expected future repayments during the next 12 months. As of 31 December 2023, it is applied for Stage 1 exposures only. This is performed based on contractual repayment schedules, adjusted for historical prepayment rate observed.

Historical prepayment patterns are assumed to be a reliable estimate for future prepayment activity.

Loans and advances to customers (unsecured loan, businesses acquired in 2020 and 2023)

EAD is calculated using the sample of defaulted loans. Outstanding balance of defaulted loans is divided by outstanding balance of the same accounts 12 months ago. Observation window can be shortened; however, it cannot exceed 12 months to avoid overestimation of EAD which may lead to underestimation of ECL. As of 31 December 2023, EAD is applied for Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Impairment for loans to and receivables from related parties

Receivables from related parties inherently are subject to the Group's credit risk. Therefore, a benchmarked PD and LGD rate - based on Standard & Poor's corporate statistics studies has been applied in determining the ECLs.

Significant increase in credit risk for related party transactions is determined based on information available in the Group about the financial performance of the related parties. Financial position of related parties as at impairment assessment date is compared to that when the exposure was originated. Further 30 days past due back stop indicator is utilized to transfer exposures to Stage 2.

Recoverability of deferred tax asset

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The deferred tax assets are recognized based on profitability assumptions over 3 year horizon. In developing these assumptions the Group considers both positive and negative evidence of past performance and future development plans to ensure that assumptions used are reasonable, realistic and achievable. The future taxable profit of 2024-2025 has been approved by the Management Board, while 2026 is considered as plausible taxable profit of the Group. Budgeting models used are the same as the ones used in goodwill impairment tests.

At each reporting date, the Group's management analyses the recoverability of deferred tax and reduces the deferred tax asset if it is no longer probable that during the period of utilization of tax losses future taxable profits will be available against which unused tax losses can be utilized (Note 18).

Capitalization of development costs

For capitalization of expenses in process of developing Group's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and other IT systems management uses certain assumptions. Capitalization of salary expenses of IT personnel is based on employee time sheets and personnel involved in development dedicate up to 80% of their time on developing new functionality. Therefore up to 80% of salary expenses of involved personnel are capitalized under Other intangible assets while remaining 20% are recognized as salary expenses in Statement of profit and loss.

Expenses from amortization of capitalized development costs are included in statement of profit and loss caption "Administrative expense". See further information in Note 21.

Separation of embedded derivatives from the host contract

The Group has certain call and put option arrangements that can accelerate repayment of the issued bonds. These options arise out of bond (host contract) prospectus and meet the definition of an embedded derivative in accordance with IFRS 9.

Call option, which is included in Latvian bond prospectus, gives the Group the right, but not the obligation to carry out early redemption, either in full or partially, of the issued bonds with a 1% premium. There is also a put option possibility in case (i) certain financial covenants are breached (ii) Interest and/or Nominal Amount payments have not been missed and (iii) the Issuer has been declared insolvent or has submitted an application for liquidation, then each bondholder has the right to request that all, or only some, of its Latvian bonds are repurchased at the nominal amount plus accrued unpaid interests and Default Interest.

There are also call and put options included in Eurobond prospectus. The Group may redeem all of the outstanding Eurobonds in full prior to the their maturity date, at the make whole amount if the call is exercised before 18 October 2023; 104.75 percent of the nominal amount if such redemption right is exercised after the first call date up to 18 October 2024; at 102.375 percent of the nominal amount if is exercised after the second call date up to up to 18 October 2025; and 100% of the Nominal Amount if the call option is exercised after 18 October 2025. There is also a put option possibility in case of change of control event, breach of certain financial covenants, ultimate beneficial owner of the Group being included into a sanction list of the European Union and the USE, then each bondholder has the right to request that all, or only some, of its Eurobonds are repurchased at a price of 101.00 percent of the nominal amount plus accrued unpaid interests.

The Group's management has evaluated that the embedded derivatives are not contractually separable, not contractually transferrable independently and have the same counterparty. Each option's exercise price is approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortized cost of bond, therefore these embedded derivatives are not separated from the host contract.

Fair value of employee share options

The Group's employees have entered a share option agreement with the Parent Company or the Parent Company's shareholders and Subsidiaries. Under the agreements respective employees obtain rights to acquire Parent company's or certain subsidiaries' shares under several graded vesting scenarios. The respective option would be classified as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction in Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2. There are cash settlement alternatives. Given absence of an ongoing sale of any of Subsidiaries or the Parent or any listing process initiated and other relevant cash settlement events, then cash settlement is considered not to be probable and the Group does not have a present obligation to settle in cash.

The Group's management has estimated that fair value of the options would not be materially different than zero. If it were, the Group would have to record expenses related to this transaction and recognize a respective component of equity.

In estimating fair value for the share option the most appropriate valuation model would depend on the terms and conditions of the grant. In 2019 fair value of employee share options has been estimated by first establishing the fair value at the grant date of the relevant issuer company/group applying discounted cash flow valuation methodology and same assumptions as the ones used in value in use estimation (refer to Goodwill impairment tests). Subsequently, the estimate is adjusted by the number of options granted, vesting period and the employee turnover rates in the respective grade.

Management has considered that the financial position of the Subsidiaries that have issued share options (in particular for General Employee Share Option Plan described in Note 48), the particular features mentioned in the option agreements, such as buy-back options, non-competition clauses embedded in the agreements, restrictions of sales of shares, as well as dividend policy of the Parent Company (for both of the plans described in Note 48) effectively indicate that fair value of the employee options would not be material.

Deferred Tax Liability on unremitted earnings

In Latvia, Estonia and Georgia legal entities are required to pay income tax on earned profits in accordance with local legislation on Corporate Income Tax. Corporate income tax would be paid on distributed profits and deemed profit distributions. Corporate income tax on dividends would be recognized in the statement of profit and loss as expense in the reporting period when respective dividends are declared, while, as regards other deemed profit items, at the time when expense is incurred in the reporting year.

The Group has decided to use these beneficial tax regimes to reinvest profits in further development of respective subsidiaries, therefore it does not plan to distribute dividends from subsidiaries in these countries in the next 5 years. The Group controls the process of dividend distribution and does not plan to distribute dividends from subsidiaries of these countries for year 2023 and after in the foreseeable future: 5 year horizon is considered appropriate given the Group's planning cycle.

Due to above mentioned reason, the Group has not recognized deferred tax liabilities. See further information in Note 17.

Provisions

Significant management judgement is used for estimating provisions in relation to tax amounts disputed with tax authorities. For more details see Note 37.

IFRS 16 requires that in determining the lease term and assessing the length of the non-cancellable period of a lease, an entity shall determine the period for which the contract is enforceable. In assessment of lease term determination the Group considers the enforceable rights and obligations of both parties. If both the lessee and the lessor can terminate the contract without more than an insignificant penalty at any time at or after the end of the non-cancellable term, then there are no enforceable rights and obligations beyond the non-cancellable term. For lease agreements without a fixed term and agreements that are "rolled over" on monthly basis until either party gives notice the Group considers that it does have enforceable rights and obligations under such agreements, therefore a reasonable estimate of the lease term assessment is made.

When determining the lease term, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise an option to renew or not to exercise an option to terminate early. When assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend, or not to exercise an option to terminate early, the economic reasons underlying the Group's past practice regarding the period over which it has typically used particular types of assets (whether leased or owned) are considered. Furthermore, the following factors are considered: level of rentals in any secondary period compared with market rates, contingent payments, renewal and purchase options, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the signing of a new replacement lease, costs to return the underlying asset, nature and the level of specialization of the leased assets, asset location, availability of suitable alternatives and existence of significant leasehold improvements. See Note 23.

Lease liability incremental borrowing rate determination under IFRS 16 (Group as a Lessee)

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group has used market rates in each of the countries as its incremental borrowing rate. The discount rate applied is obtained from official state government institutions as the average market rate available at the beginning of the lease agreement for loans over a similar term, security, value and applied in similar economic environment. The Group considers market rates used as an appropriate measure for incremental borrowing rates as they correctly reflect the ability the respective subsidiary to finance a specific asset purchase in each of the jurisdictions given the Group's wide geographical coverage, its track record in ability to raise public debt and the overall financial results of the Group and each subsidiary individually.

As additional factor considered is the way how local lenders would approach the asset financing at each subsidiary level. The two most important factors assessed would be the potential borrower's (in this case Group's subsidiary's) financial position and the asset that is being financed (i.e. the quality of the security). As per Group's assessment each of the Group's subsidiaries would qualify as a good quality borrower in the local markets in the context of overall Group results.

Lease classification for rental fleet (Group as a Lessor)

The Group has entered into vehicle leases on its rental fleet (Note 22). These lease agreements have a non-cancellable term of 6 months and an optional term of up to 72 months. After the non-cancellable term of 6 months the lessee can return the leased asset to the Group and losses associated with the cancellation are borne by the Group. The leased asset is not transferred to lessee at the end of lease term. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments not amounting to substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these assets and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

Sale and leaseback transactions

Under sale and leaseback transactions the Group purchases the underlying asset and then leases it back to the same customer. To determine how to account for a sale and leaseback transaction, the Group first considers whether the initial transfer of the underlying asset from the seller-lessee (Customer) to the buyer-lessor (the Group) is a sale. The Group applies IFRS 15 to determine whether a sale has taken place. The key indicators that control has passed to the Group include the Group having:

  • a present obligation to pay;
  • physical possession (of the purchased asset);
  • a legal title (to the purchased asset);
  • the risks and rewards of ownership (of the purchased asset);
  • the Group has accepted the asset;
  • the borrower can or must repurchase the asset for an amount that is less than the original selling price of the asset.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making the assessment, the Group considers:

  • contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows;
  • leverage features;
  • prepayment and extension terms;
  • terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse loans); and
  • features that modify consideration of the time value of money (e.g. periodical reset of interest rates).

Please refer to Note 2 for further detailed descriptions of the judgements made by management to assess whether regular loan, non-recourse loan and sale and leaseback financing arrangement contracts meet SPPI criteria.

Measurement of fair values

Trademarks obtained in business combinations during 2023

The Relief-from-royalty method was used for measuring the fair value of trademarks obtained. The relief from-royalty method considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the patents or trademarks being owned.

Management's key assumptions used to determine the value of trademarks were as follows:

Average cash flow forecast (5 Year) revenue growth rate is 19% per year (range 10% - 37%)

Long term revenue growth rate is 0% as a matter of prudence for fair value estimation.

Average trademark royalty rate is 0.9% (range 0.9% - 1.1%)

Average discount rate is 25.4% (range 22.2% - 32.0%)

Property, plant and equipment obtained in business combinations

Depreciated replacement cost technique was used for measuring the fair value of Property, plant and equipment obtained. Depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence of assets obtained.

Other intangible assets obtained in business combinations

The With and Without Method (WWM) was used for measuring fair value of DAS Access asset acquired. The WWM estimates an intangible asset's value by calculating the difference between two discounted cash-flow models: one that represents the status quo for the business enterprise with the asset in place, and another without it. Management's key assumptions used to determine the value of DAS Asset were as follows:

Loan issuance growth rate is 18% Long term growth rate is 0% as a matter of prudence for fair value estimation.

Expected Loss (EL) for DAS loans issued: With asset is 8.0%; Without asset is 25.0% Discount rate is 32%

Depreciated replacement cost technique was used for measuring the fair value of Intangible assets obtained (excluding Trademarks and DAS Access Asset). Depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments for functional and economic obsolescence of assets obtained.

Please refer to Note 47 for disclosure of and relevant inputs for fair value techniques applied to financial assets and liabilities.

Obtaining control over obtained entities

During 2023 the Group obtained several new subsidiaries in a transaction where legal ownership of the companies was obtained through obtaining of a holding entity EC Finance Group SIA. The Group assumed full control over the newly obtained entities from the moment of signing the agreements since they include clauses granting the Group the power to govern the obtained entities from day of signing the share obtaining agreements. Accordingly, the Group concluded that control in accordance with IFRS 10 was exercised and commenced consolidation of the subsidiaries. The management of Eleving Group S.A. evaluated whether the acquisition of EC Finance Group SIA is considered as "transaction under common control", whereas such transactions are outside of the scope of IFRS 3 "Business combinations". Such evaluation was performed due to the fact that CI Holding AS and Eleving Group S.A. has overlapping shareholders. However, after careful consideration and interpretation of IFRS Accounting Policies, the management determined that the transaction should not be treated as under common control. This determination was made due to the impact of the transaction on minority shareholders, leading the management to conclude that the acquisition method prescribed by IFRS 3 should be applied. Consequently, the transaction falls within the scope of IFRS 3 for business combinations.

Disposal groups and discontinued operations

At the end of 2021 the Group made a decision to fully exit the Balkan region with its car financing business as well as in late 2023 the Group decided to exit also from Belarus.

As a result of these decisions some entities have been sold or were in sales negotiations at the end of 2023, but for some entities the process of liquidation has been initiated with a plan to complete the liquidation in nearest future. Due to these reasons all of the following group subsidiaries as at 31 December 2023 are classified as subsidiaries held for sale or under liquidation and discontinued operations:

  • Mogo Leasing d.o.o. (Bosnia&Herzegovina) – under liquidation;

  • Mogo Albania SHA – sold in 2022;

  • Rocket Leasing OOO – sold in early 2024;

  • Autotrade OOO – sold in early 2024;

  • MOGO Kredit LLC – sold in early 2024.

During 2022 and 2023 the Group performed cessions of doubtful finance lease receivables as well as doubtful loans and advances to customers receivables to non related parties. The Group uses opportunities to sell receivables in cession to improve cash flow and reduce debt collection related expenses associated of recovering of doubtful debts.

When financial lease receivables or loans and advances to customers portfolio is sold in cession the Group reverses the respective part of impairment allowance of the ceded assets (Note 24 and 25).

The Group then separately recognizes net losses arising from derecognition of the ceded portfolio, which is reduced by the respective cession income.

Recognition of deferred taxes mainly is driven from accumulated tax losses from entities in Mauritius and Uganda as well as temporary differences in taxable impairment in Kenya.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized mainly in respect to tax losses arisen in Luxembourg and Ukraine as there may be no future taxable profits available in the foreseeable future. Subsidiaries in Ukraine have been loss-making and there are no other tax planning opportunities or other evidence of recoverability in the near future. Recoverability of deferred tax asset in Luxembourg in nearest future is also unlikely.

Each cash generating unit represents a subsidiary of the Group.

Goodwill and trademarks impairment test

The impairment test was performed for each cash generating unit separately. As at 31 December 2023, goodwill and trademarks were tested for impairment.

The recoverable amounts for each unit were calculated based on their value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be generated from the continuing activities of the units. No impairment losses were recognized because the recoverable amounts of these units including the goodwill allocated were determined to be higher than their carrying amounts. The calculations of value-in-use were based on free cash flow to equity approach to each unit respectively, discounted by estimated cost of equity. The value-in-use calculations are most sensitive to projected operating cash-flow, terminal growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period, and discount rates. Projected operating cash-flow figures were based on detailed financial models.

Recoverable amount for the subsidiaries are estimated to be:
Name Amount
TIGO Finance DOOEL Skopje (North Macedonia) 15.4 million EUR
EC Finance Group SIA 19.5 million EUR
UAB mogo (Lithuania) 32.2 million EUR
OU Primero Finance (Estonia) 16.5 million EUR
AS mogo (Latvia) 18.7 million EUR
Mogo UCO (Armenia) 5.7 million EUR
Mogo LLC (Georgia) 15.3 million EUR

2023 actual figures were used as a starting point in these models, and took into account management's expectations of the future performance of each unit.

Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. A long-term terminal growth rate into perpetuity was determined to be 1%. The rate was estimated by management based on historical trends observed in existing markets, and expected Group and industry developments.

Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the risk specific to each unit.

Discount rates applied are:
Name Amount
TIGO Finance DOOEL Skopje (North Macedonia) 43.7%
EC Finance Group SIA 28.6% - 75.1%
UAB mogo (Lithuania) 13.6%
OU Primero Finance (Estonia) 12.7%
AS mogo (Latvia) 14.4%
Mogo UCO (Armenia) 41.8%
Mogo LLC (Georgia) 38.9%

Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess changes to key assumptions that could influence whether the carrying value of the units exceeded their recoverable amounts. The results of this analysis indicate that for all units, the recoverable amount would not be below the carrying amount including goodwill (i.e. goodwill would not become impaired), if terminal growth rates decreased by 0.5% and discount rates increased by 5%.

The recoverable amounts after stress test exceed the carrying amounts for:
Name Amount
TIGO Finance DOOEL Skopje (North Macedonia) 10.9 million EUR
EC Finance Group SIA 14.0 million EUR
UAB mogo (Lithuania) 21.4 million EUR
OU Primero Finance (Estonia) 10.7 million EUR
AS mogo (Latvia) 17.1 million EUR
Mogo UCO (Armenia) 4.8 million EUR
Mogo LLC (Georgia) 13.1 million EUR

As a result, impairment loss was recognised in previous years and remaining impairment amount as at 31 December is EUR 75 398.

For the remaining rental fleet with the acquisition value of EUR 6 199 464, the recoverable amount was estimated as EUR 3 390 086.

Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess changes to key assumptions that could influence whether the carrying value of the rental fleet assets exceeded their recoverable amounts. If WACC would have increased by 2%, all other assumptions remaining the same including the rental income, acquisition cost would increase to EUR 546 116 and the recoverable amount of impaired assets would equal to EUR 178 637, additional impairment of EUR 1 580 would need to be recognized.

For detailed description of impairment testing refer to 'Impairment of non-financial assets (rental fleet) (Note 3).

Impairment test of non-financial assets (car sharing rental fleet)

As of 31 December 2023, non-financial assets of car sharing rental fleet were tested for impairment. The Group did not identify any indicators requiring recognition of any impairment.

On the 1 January 2017 the subsidiary in Lithuania 'Mogo LT UAB' entered into a Credit Default Swap (CDS) agreement with another subsidiary in Estonia 'Risk Management Services OU'. On the basis of CDS all leasing and loan agreements issued by the Lithuanian subsidiary are secured by the CDS and are transferred to 'Risk Management Services OU' if the client of leasing or loan agreement is late in paying the debt for more than 125 days. Due to this reason, in 2017 impairment was reversed and no impairment is calculated onwards for Lithuanian subsidiary. Due to the signed Credit Default Swap agreement with Risk Management Services OU the loan agreements are insured and in case of customer insolvency and Mogo LT UAB receives a payment from Risk Management Services OU. During 2021 also Renti LT UAB signed the same type of agreement with the same conditions.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

As of 1 January 2022 'Risk Management Services OU' is no longer considered a related party since it has been disposed from the group in 2020.

Transactions with peer-to-peer platforms

From year 2016 the Group started placing lease agreement receivables on peer-to-peer lending platform. Agreements were offered with buy back guarantee, which means that all risks of such agreements remain with the Group and in case of client default the Group has the liability to repay the whole remaining principal and accrued interest to P2P investor. By using the same platform the Group also offered loans without buy back guarantee, which means that all risks related to client default were transferred to P2P investor. Portions of agreements purchased by investors are therefore considered as financial assets eligible for derecognition from the Group's statement of financial position.

32. Other receivables (continued)

* - All receivables are due within the following year, except VAT overpayment where the date of settlement is unclear due to ongoing litigation process in Latvia.

This resulted in full settlement of payable VAT and recognition of VAT overpayment. Considering the uncertainty disclosed in Note 37, the Group has decided to recognize the impairment provision in full amount for VAT receivable in the statement of financial position and additional provisions in amount of VAT payable settled by VAT return adjustment and related penalties (see Note 37).

** - The Group enters into currency exchange transactions where it tries to limit its foreign currency rate fluctuation loss. The transaction requires the Group to reserve the a cash deposit with its currency transaction partners. At year end the Group recognizes accrued income based on year end currency rates versus agreed currency transaction rates and recognizes income if the estimated result is expected to be profitable.

*** - The Georgian tax administration has initiated a transfer pricing audit for Mogo LLC (Georgia). The audit covers the financial years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Additional audit has been initiated for financial years 2019 and 2020. Audit decisions have been issued for respective year. The Georgian tax administration has challenged that interest rate applied by Eleving Group S.A. on loan issued to Mogo LLC complies with arm's lengths principle. According to the decisions additional tax amount of EUR 911 322 has been assessed. The amount has been withheld by the Georgian tax administration from a tax overpayment of Mogo LLC, and part of the amount has been transferred to the Georgian state budget by Mogo LLC.

Mogo LLC has appealed the decisions.

The tax audit decisions for have been appealed within Tbilisi City Court.

Group's management has made a decision to apply for a mutual agreement procedure according to the double tax treaty concluded between Georgia and Luxembourg. In 2022 the Group has submitted the application within the Luxembourg tax administration to initiate mutual agreement procedure. The tax administration is assessing the application.

The management of the Group considers that the interest rate applied by Eleving Group S.A. on loans issued to related parties fully complies with the arm's length principle. The applied interest rate is justified by transfer pricing policies held by the Group. The management of the Group considers that the approach of the Georgian tax administration does not comply with basic loan pricing principles and international guidelines. In order to determine the market interest rate for the Eleving Group S.A. loan issued to the Mogo LLC, Georgian tax administration has used coupon rate of bonds issued by credit institutions as a comparable source. The coupon rates of such bonds are not comparable as represents lower risk market comparing with that where the Group operates. Additionally, when issuing the decision Georgian tax administration has not considered borrowing costs of Eleving Group S.A. The interest rate applied by the Georgian tax administration in the decisions is significantly lower than the borrowing costs of Eleving Group S.A.

The Group is in a position to use all available local and international measures to justify its transfer pricing policies and to achieve the result that the decisions are fully cancelled. According to management's best estimate no significant economical outflows in relation to the transfer pricing audit is expected in the future as the possibility of such has been assessed as remote.

The Group management expects to fully recover paid tax.

As at the reporting date, the Management of the Company believes that the outcome of the currently open tax audit is highly uncertain, thus the disclosure under Contingent liabilities selected.

46. Financial risk management

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks and legal risks. Financial risk comprises market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures, in order to minimize operational and legal risks.

Operational risks

The Group takes on exposure to certain operational risks, which result from general and specific market and industry requirements.

Compliance risk

Compliance risk refers to the risk of losses or business process disruption resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes systems, that have resulted in a breach of applicable law or other regulation currently in place.

Regulatory risks

Group's operations are subject to regulation by a variety of consumer protection, financial services and other state authorities in various jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to consumer loans and consumer rights protection, debt collection and personal data processing. Formal licences issued by respective regulators are required in all countries where the Group operates in, except for Lithuania, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Poland. The Group closely monitors all the changes in regulatory framework for each of the countries it operates in. The Group employs both in-house as well as outsourced legal specialists to assist in addressing any current or future regulatory developments that might have an impact on Group's business activities.

Mogo Finance S.A. Consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December

See further information on regulatory matters in Note 45.

Anti-money laundering and Know Your Customer laws compliance risk

The Group is subject to anti-money laundering laws and related compliance obligations in most of the jurisdictions in which it does business. The Group has put in place local antimoney laundering policies in those jurisdictions where it is required under local law to do so and in certain other jurisdictions. As a financial institution, the Group is required to comply with anti-money laundering regulations that are generally less restrictive than those that apply to banks. As a result, the Group often relies on anti-money laundering and know your customer checks performed by our customers' banks when such customers open new bank accounts, however Group has implemented further internal policies to minimise these risks. Group has put in place internal control framework to identify and report all suspicious

transactions with a combination of IT based solutions and human involvement. Internal policies of the Group typically include customers' background check against sanctioned lists and other public sources as required by each local law.

Privacy, data protection compliance risk

The Group's business is subject to a variety of laws and regulations internationally that involve user privacy, data protection, advertising, marketing, disclosures, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection and online payment services. The Group has put in place an internal control framework consisting from a combination of IT based solutions and business procedures that are designed to capture any potential non-compliance matter before it has occurred and to ensure compliance with these requirements.

Market risks

The Group takes on exposure to market risks, which are the risks that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rate and currency products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility or market rates or prices such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Financial risks

The main financial risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Group accepts the currency risk by issuing loans in local currencies and funding local operations mostly with EUR. Further currency risk is managed transaction wise by avoiding unnecessary conversions back and forth to settle payments and invoices in EUR. Also Group is constantly looking for ways to fund local country operations with local currency funds.

The currency risk is defined as the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Group is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows.

The most significant foreign currency exposure comes from Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Kenya, Uganda, and Uzbekistan, where Group has evaluated potential hedging options, but due to the costs associated with it, has decided not to pursue hedging strategy for now and assume potential short to mid-term currency fluctuations with retaining potential upside from strengthening in those currencies. The Group has always operated with a forex loss being a legitimate and always present cost item that was adequately priced within each non-EUR country's product portfolio.

It is expected that Group's exposure to volatile foreign currencies will be continuing to decrease in future with Group's divestment of several of its subsidiaries. Additionally, the Group has started to proactively manage to foreign currency exposure risk towards USD, since in several of Group's largest markets local loan portfolios are linked to USD. The proactive management of USD exposure can be observed by forward contract purchases that have started already in 2020 and continued to do so in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The Group is not exposed to currency risk in Bosnia&Herzegovina since currency rate is fixed by national bank.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its issued subordinated bond which carries a coupon of 12% plus 6 month Euribor and floating coupon notes in Kenya. However, due to its relatively low size in terms of total borrowings (5% from total borrowings as at end of 2023), which in turn are fixed rate, the Company believes its revenue will be sufficient to cover the increased borrowings costs from subordinated bonds.

Financial risks

Capital risk management

The Group considers both equity capital as well as borrowings a part of overall capital risk management strategy.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may attract new credit facilities or increase its share capital. The Group fulfils externally imposed equity capital requirements as stated in Note 45.

The Group monitors equity capital on the basis of the capitalization ratio as defined in Eurobond prospectus. This ratio is calculated as Net worth (the sum of paid in capital, retained earnings, reserves and shareholder loan) divided by Net Loan portfolio.

In order to maintain or adjust the overall capital structure, the Group may issue new bonds, borrow in P2P platform or sell assets to reduce debt.

The management of the borrowings is driven by monitoring and complying the lender imposed covenants as well as planning the further borrowing needs to ensure business development of the Group.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group manages its liquidity risk by arranging an adequate amount of committed credit facilities with related parties, P2P investors and by issuing bonds. The Group monitors daily cash flows and plans for milestone dates for cash outflows to cover major liabilities like semi-annual interest payments for Eurobonds. The Group regulates its issuances of new loans to ensure the adequate funds are available when upcoming larger settlement of liabilities is approaching.

The table below presents the cash flows payable by the Group and to the Group under non-derivative financial liabilities and assets held for managing liquidity risk by remaining contractual maturities at the date of the statement of financial position. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flow. Cash flow payable for borrowings includes estimated interest payments assuming principal is paid in full at maturity date.

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk through its finance lease receivables, loans and advances to customers, loans to related parties, trade and other receivables as well as cash and cash equivalents. Maximum credit risk exposure is represented by the gross carrying value of the respective financial assets. The key areas of credit risk policy cover lease granting process (including solvency check of the lease), monitoring methods, as well as decision making principles.

The Group collateralizes the finance lease assets it finances and provides loans in amount of no more than 85% of the market values of the collateral.

The Group operates by applying a clear set of finance lease granting criteria. This criteria includes assessing the credit history of customer, means of lease repayment and understanding the lease object. The Group takes into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors when assessing the creditworthiness of the customer. Based on this analysis, the Group sets the credit limit for each and every customer.

When the lease agreement has been signed, the Group monitors the lease object and customer's solvency. The Group has developed lease monitoring process so that it helps to quickly spot any possible non-compliance with the provisions of the agreement. The receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group's exposure to bad debts is minimized, and, where appropriate, provisions are being made.

The Group does not have a significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty, but has risk to group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

Excessive risk concentration

Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group's performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location.

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Group is maintaining a diversified portfolio. It's main product is subprime lease, however it is offering also near prime lease, as well as instalment loan and long-term rent products.

The concentration risk on Groups financial assets (based on net exposure) is the 31.12.2023 31.12.2022

Climate-related risk

'Climate-related risks' are potential negative impacts on the Group arising from climate change. Climate-related risks have an impact on the principal risk categories discussed above (i.e. credit, liquidity, market and operational risks), but due to their pervasive nature have been identified and managed by the Group on an overall basis.

The Group distinguishes between physical risks and transition risks. Physical risks arise as the result of acute weather events such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires, and longerterm shifts in climate patterns, such as sustained higher temperatures, heat waves, droughts and rising sea levels. Transition risks arise as a result of measures taken to mitigate the effects of climate change and transition to a low-carbon economy – e.g. changes to laws and regulations, litigation due to failure to mitigate or adapt, and shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products and services due to changes in consumer behaviour and investor demand.

The Group has incorporated Climate related risks into a broader ESG policy that aims to assess the materiality of focus areas as well as defines future goals for 2025 (including climate related ones). The Group also reports on the extent to which its portfolio is associated with economic activities that are eligible to qualify as environmentally sustainable under the EU Taxonomy regulation.

47. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Instruments within Level 1 include highly liquid assets and standard derivative financial instruments traded on the stock exchange.

Fair value for such financial instruments as Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss is mainly determined based on publicly available quoted prices (bid price, obtainable from Bloomberg system).

Instruments within Level 2 include assets, for which no active market exists, such as over the counter derivative financial instruments that are traded outside the stock exchange, bonds, as well as balances on demand with the central banks, balances due from banks and other financial liabilities. Bonds fair value is observable in Frankfurt Stock Exchange public information. Fair value of bank loans is based on effective interest rate which represents current market rate to similar companies. The management recognizes that cash and cash equivalents' fair value is the same as their carrying value therefore the risk of fair value change is insignificant.

Instruments within Level 3 include loans and receivables.

Fair value of finance lease receivables and loans and advances to customers is determined using discounted cash flow model consisting of contractual lease and loan cash flows that are adjusted by expectations about possible variations in the amount and timings of cash flows using methodology consistent with the expected credit loss determination as at 31 December 2023 to determine the cash flows expected to be received net of impairment losses. The pre-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the entity holding the respective financial assets is used as the basis for the discount rate. The WACC is based on the actual estimated cost of equity and cost of debt that reflect any other risks relevant to the leases and loans that have not been taken into consideration by the impairment loss adjustment described above and also includes compensation for the opportunity cost of establishing a similar lease or loan. An additional 1.5 to 4.1% is added to the discount rate as an adjustment to consider service costs of the portfolio that are not captured by the cash flow adjustments.

The annual discount rate was determined between 11.04% and 20.82% depending on the Group's component holding the respective financial asset. Impairment loss is estimated by applying PD and LGD rates, which are in line with ECL methodology described under 'The calculation of ECLs' (Note 2).

The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities not presented on the Group's statement of financial position at their fair value:

Bonds issued by Eleving Group S.A. have been classified as Level 2 fair value measurement given that there are observable market quotations in markets. The market for Mogo AS bonds is not assessed as an active market thus classified as Level 3. Fair value of the bonds has been determined based on observable quotes.

There have been no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during 2023 and 2022.

48. Share-based payments

General Employee Share Option Plan

The Group may grant share options of Subsidiaries to its employees. Share options are generally awarded on the first day of employment. The share options vest within four years time with front loaded vesting of 25% of the granted shares after one year of employment. The maximum term of options granted is 4 years.

Fair value of the respective share options

The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant. Group's management has assessed that the fair value of the respective share options, due to reasons described in Note 3 is not material. Accordingly, no expense and liability arising from these equity-settled share-based payment transactions is recognized.

The exercise price of the share options under typical circumstances is equal to the nominal price of the underlying shares. The contractual maximum term of the share options are till 2025. There are cash settlement alternatives. Given absence of an ongoing sale of subsidiaries or Eleving Group S.A. or any listing process initiated and any other relevant cash settlement events, cash settlement is considered not to be probable. The Group does not have a past practice of cash settlement for these awards and the Group does not have a present obligation to settle in cash.

48. Share-based payments (continued)

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices of the General Employee share option plan:

2023 2022
Weighted
average
exercise price, Weighted average
Number EUR Number exercise price, EUR
Outstanding at 1 January 66 0.1 85 0.1
Granted during the year 4 0.1 27 0.1

Terminated due to failed vesting conditions -2 - -16 -
Outstanding at 31 December 23 0.1 66 0.1
Exercisable at the end of the period - - - -

Several employee share options have been exercised, expired and/or forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions of the General Share Option plan, while a several other employee share options remain outstanding and may be exercised, expired and/or forfeited in the future. The table above does not include employee share options that have been granted during the year and exercised during the year or shares provided to the employees. Refer to note 1 for Eleving Group equity Interest percentage in the Group subsidiaries.

The exercise price for options outstanding at the end of the year was 0.1 EUR (2022: 0.1 EUR). The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 31 December 2023 is less than a year (2022: 1).

The main purpose of both share option plans is to attract and retain highly experienced employees for extensive period of time and build strong management team.

49. Segment information

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on their geographical locations and on internal management structure, which is the basis for reporting system. During reporting year the Group reorganized Eleving Luna holding therefore its subsidiaries were transferred to Eleving Stella operating segments. These consolidated financial statements provide information on the following operating segments. Comparative figures reflect segments according to previous years structure.

  • Eleving Stella. This is the major segment of the Group representing entities performing car financing activities in Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Estonia.

  • Eleving Solis. This is the major segment of the Group representing entities performing car financing activities in Uzbekistan, Kenya and Uganda.

  • Entities performing consumer loan financing activities. This is the major segment of the Group representing entities performing activities in Moldova, Albania, Ukraine, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Lesotho, Mauritius and Eswatini.

  • Discontinued operations. This group includes entities from countries where the group has decided to exit from geographical markets. Countries include Bosnia&Herzegovina, Albania, Poland and Belarus.

  • Other segments. This segment comprises Group's business lines with aggregate unconsolidated revenue below 10% of the total unconsolidated revenue of all operating segments.

  • Other. The Group's financing (including finance costs, finance income and other income) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments hence these are presented in "Other".

Management monitors mainly the following indicators of operating segments for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment: net revenue, profit before tax, gross portfolio and impairment. Other segment is not monitored on segment level but on comprising subsidiaries level.

The Groups Chief operating decision maker is Groups CEO.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

No revenue from transactions with a single external customer or counterparty amounted to 10% or more of the Group's total revenue in 2022 or 2023.

Segment information below shows main income and expense items of profit and loss statement. Other smaller income and expense items are summarized and shown under 'Other income/(expense)' column.

interest income recognition

For the year ended 31 December 2023, interestincome from "Finance lease receivables" and"Loans and advances to customers" totaled EUR176 297 775 and represented approximately 92%of the Group's total income and other revenue(31 December 2022: EUR 162 516 856 andapproximately 91%).

In accordance with IFRS9 - Recognizedinterestincome is determined using the effectiveinterest rate ("EIR")method. In determining theamount of interest income, the Group uses amodel whereby automatically calculatedinterest amounts are manually adjusted basedon the contractual interest rate to reflect theadditional costs incurred in entering into thelease and loan agreement in the ElRmeasurement and the resulting interest incomeis recognized in the income statement.

The calculation of interest income is performedusing sophisticated information technologysystems that process frequently updated andvoluminous data.

In view of the above, we have identified this asa key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included amongst others:

  • We tested the accounting policies,management assumptions and inputs usedin the recognition of interest income.
  • We engaged IT specialists who tested theeffectiveness of the overall IT environment and controls over the systems supportingthe calculation of interest income.
  • We tested the design and implementationof selected controls over the interestrevenue recognition process, controls overthe application of appropriate contractualinterest rates and other contractual termsin the interest revenue recognition processand controls over the review and validationof manual accounting entries used in theEIR valuation.
  • We performed other substantive andanalytical procedures.
  • We tested the completeness and accuracyof the disclosures retating to interestincome in the notes to the consolidatedfinancial statements.

Other information

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the consolidated management report and the Corporate GovernanceStatement but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our report of "réviseurd'entreprises agréé" thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements doesnot cover the other information andwe do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for theconsolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted bythe European Union, and for suchinternal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Board of Directors is responsible for presenting the consolidated financial statements incompliance with the requirements set out in the Delegated Regulation 2019/815 on EuropeanSingle Electronic Format ("ESEFRegulation").

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessingthe Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reportingprocess.

Responsibilities of the "réviseur d'entreprises agréé" for the audit of the consolidatedfinancial statements

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the consolidatedfinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of "reviseur d'entreprises agréé" that includes our opinion. . Reasonableassuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with the EU Regulation N* 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

Our responsibility is to assess whether the consolidated financial statements have been preparedin all material respects with the requirements laid down in the ESEFRegulation.

Aspart of an audit in accordance with the EURegulation N* 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016and with ISAsas adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF,we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • . Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposeof expressingan opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • . Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
