Management report

In the first three months of 2025, Latvian financial services group AS DelfinGroup generated revenue of EUR 17.5 million, which is 23% more than in the corresponding period of 2024. The Group also recorded solid EBITDA growth, up by 11% to EUR 5.6 million. DelfinGroup continued to deliver strong profitability in the first quarter of 2025, with profit before taxes reaching EUR 2.3 million, an increase of 11% compared with the first quarter of the previous year, while net profit reached EUR 1.8 million, 9% increase compared to previous year.

Demand for DelfinGroup consumer and pawn lending products remained stable in Q1 2025, resulting in total loan disbursements of EUR 30 million – 20% more than a year earlier. Of this amount, EUR 23.3 million were consumer loans, up 25% year‑on‑year, and EUR 6,7 million were pawn loans, an increase of 6% compared with Q1 2024. As disbursements grew, the loan portfolio also expanded and, at the end of the quarter, reached an all‑time high of EUR 121 million – a 7% increase during the three‑month period.

In line with the Group's strategy, the promotion of the circular economy is one of DelfinGroup key objectives. This is supported by the sale of pre‑owned and slightly pre-owned goods, which extends product life cycles and reduces CO2 emissions associated with the production of new goods. The segment continued to grow steadily in Q1 2025, reaching sales of EUR 4.7 million – an increase of 31% compared with the same period last year.

Following the launch of the consumer‑loan product in Lithuania in December 2024, the Group completed its first full quarter offering consumer loans in Lithuania. As a result, the segment produced encouraging results in Q1 2025, with consumer loans issued in Lithuania amounting to EUR 1.6 million and the loan portfolio reaching EUR 1.4 million. To date, the consumer‑loan segment has been the Group's largest business line in Latvia in terms of both revenue and profit, and the Group therefore sees considerable opportunities to scale up operations in Lithuania. At present, the Group offers consumer loans, pawn loans and the sale of pre‑owned and slightly pre-owned goods in Lithuania.

In line with the commitment set out in DelfinGroup dividend policy to distribute up to 50% of quarterly profit in dividends, the shareholders approved the payment of dividends from Q4 2024 profit at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting on 21 March 2025. Consequently, on 7 April 2025 shareholders received quarterly dividends totalling EUR 1,012,564, or EUR 0.0223 per share.

In March 2025 the Company's Supervisory Board approved changes to the Management Board, as a result of which, from 1 April 2025, Laima Eižvertiņa joined the DelfinGroup Management Board in addition to her role as Chief Administrative Officer, replacing outgoing Board member Nauris Bloks. Laima plays a significant role in the implementation of DelfinGroup strategic objectives as the Company expands internationally. She is actively involved in strategy and development project management as well as in organising the work of the Management and Supervisory Boards. Laima is responsible for human resources, the legal function, corporate governance, security and facilities management, and office administration. She has extensive experience in corporate management, project implementation and the operation of regulated financial institutions – both at supervisory authorities and in senior positions in the financial sector in Latvia and abroad.

Continuing a cooperation that has lasted for more than five years, DelfinGroup has continued to support the Latvian Senior Communities Association (LSKA) by making a further donation. This long‑term partnership helps to improve the quality of life of seniors by providing opportunities to develop skills, participate in social‑integration activities and receive the medical and day‑to‑day assistance they need. This year's donation will be used for activities aimed at educating and socially integrating seniors, encouraging their participation in public life and giving them the opportunity to improve their financial literacy, IT knowledge and other important skills. It will also fund the purchase of medical equipment for care centres and other institutions where seniors reside, as well as support a variety of events that foster the exchange of experience and strengthen communities throughout Latvia.

Principles of alternative performance measures

Dividend yield = dividends paid per share / share price at the end of the period * 100.

Net loan portfolio = non-current loans and receivables + current loans and receivables.

Revenue = net sales + interest income and similar income.

EBITDA margin = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses + depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets + depreciation of right-of-use assets) / (net sales + interest income and similar income) * 100.

EBIT margin = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses) / (net sales + interest income and similar income) * 100.

Net profit margin = net profit / (net sales + interest income and similar income) * 100.

Return on equity (ROE) = net profit / ((total equity as at start of the period + total equity as at period end) / 2) * 100.

Return on assets (ROA) = net profit / ((total assets as at start of the period + total assets as at period end) / 2) * 100.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) = EBIT / (((total assets as at start of the period + total assets as at period end) / 2) – ((short-term liabilities as at start of the period + short-term liabilities as at period end) / 2)) * 100.

Current ratio = total current assets / total short-term liabilities * 100.

Capitalization ratio = (total equity + subordinated debt) / (non-current loans and receivables + current loans and receivables + inventories + other debtors) * 100.

Interest coverage ratio = EBITDA / interest expenses and similar expenses.

Equity ratio = total equity / total assets * 100.

Cost to income ratio = (selling expenses + administrative expenses + other operating expenses – debt sale results) / (net sales – cost of sales + interest income and similar income – interest expenses and similar expenses + other operating income) * 100.

Share price changes and turnover

Branches

As at 31 March 2025, the Group had 95 branches, 88 in Latvia and 7 in Lithuania (31.12.2024 - 95 branches, 88 in Latvia and 7 in Lithuania).

Risk management

The Group is not exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the basic transaction currency is the Euro. The funding of the Group consists of both fixed rate and floating rate borrowings, so the Group is exposed to variable interest rate risk. Accurate application of the prudent strategies chosen has allowed the Group to successfully manage its financial risks, particularly the liquidity and credit risk. All Group transactions are performed in Latvia and Lithuania, the Group has no counterparties in Russia and Belarus thus the impact of the war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions has insignificant effect on the company's operations.

Distribution of the profit proposed by the Company

The Company's board recommends the distribution of Q1 2025 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of up to 50% quarterly dividend pay out.
