Management report

In the first nine months of 2024, the Latvian financial services group DelfinGroup AS achieved revenues of EUR 45.6 million, 25% more than in 2023. In addition, EBITDA showed solid growth in the first nine months of 2024, increasing by 24% year-on-year to EUR 16.2 million. The significant improvement in revenues also contributed to the Group's profitability. Profit before tax for 9M 2024 was EUR 6.8 million, up 14%, while net profit rose 1% to €5.4 million. The main impact on net profit was due to the change in corporate income tax (CIT), which came into force at the end of 2023, whereby a tax of 20% is payable by companies in the banking and non-bank lending sector on all profits, instead of only on dividends paid, as was previously the case.

Positive results are also recorded in Q3 2024. Revenues increased by 25% compared to last year and amounted to EUR 16.5 million. EBITDA increased by 19% in Q3, while profit before tax rose by 11% to €2.4 million. Net profit for the period was EUR 1.9 million, down 2%, mainly due to the aforementioned change in CIT.

Strong demand for DelfinGroup products has continued throughout 2024. The Group disbursed a record €77.6 million in loans in the nine months, an increase of 12%, while Q3 disbursements were up 13% compared to last year. New consumer lending increased by 15% to €20.3 million in Q3 but was up 13% in 9 months. Meanwhile, in the pawn lending segment, issuance rose 9% to EUR 19.1 million in the 9 months and by EUR 6.3 million quarteron-quarter. With loan originations increasing in the first nine months, the net loan portfolio reached a record high of EUR 107.7 million, up 21% over the nine months.

The Group made significant improvements in the sales of the pre-owned, slightly pre-owned, and new goods segment. The segment's sales for the nine-month period amounted to EUR 12.3 million, an increase of 14% compared to 2023, while in the third quarter, sales amounted to EUR 4.5 million.

By continuing the business expansion in the Lithuanian market, two new Banknote branches of the circular economy concept were opened in July, providing a wider range of visitors with pawn loans and retail services of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods. With the opening of two new branches, Banknote network coverage in Lithuania reaches 7 branches. Currently, there is also a circular economy retail online store in Lithuania and Latvia with more than 55,000 used and tested goods.

The Company's subsidiary DelfinGroup LT UAB was included in Lithuania's public list of consumer loan service providers in July of this year. During the third quarter, the Group worked on developing and launching a consumer lending product in Lithuania. The Group expect that the issuance of consumer loans in Lithuania will start in the 4th quarter of this year. Starting the issuance of consumer loans in Lithuania will help the Group's loan portfolio and value grow further.

By continuing the development of the Banknote network of circular economy stores, the Banknote XL concept store has opened in Rēzekne, moving to new and spacious premises at 119 Atbrīvošanas aleja. The new store is almost four times larger, providing residents with a more extensive range of pre-owned and verified goods in one place. As a result, it is already the third Banknote XL concept branch in Latvia.

In the 3rd quarter, the Company's public bond issue was successfully conducted. From September 2 to 16, Baltic retail and institutional investors had the opportunity to participate in DelfinGroup public bond issue. It was offered to purchase the Company's bonds for 15 million euros with a fixed annual interest rate of 10%, monthly interest payments and a maturity of four years. The bonds are unsecured with a nominal value of 100 euros per bond. The total demand for bonds reached 22.3 million euros from more than 2,700 retail and institutional investors, which exceeded the initial bond offer by 1.5 times. Numerically, most of the 2,700 investors came from Estonia. However, by investment amount, approximately 60% of all demand came directly from Latvian investors. On 25 September 2024, the bonds were listed on the Nasdaq Baltic Regulated Market Corporate bond list.

As a result of the successful public bond issue, the Company's existing unsecured bonds ISIN LV0000850055 for EUR 10 million with a coupon rate of 8.75% + 3M EURIBOR were redeemed on 25 September 2024. The existing bonds were redeemed from the raised funds, and the most expensive liabilities were refinanced in the Mintos investment platform, thus optimising the Group's financing costs.

During the 3rd quarter, two shareholders' meetings were held. At the 25 July extraordinary meeting of shareholders, the new composition of the Risk and Audit Committee was approved, appointing Gatis Kokins, Mārtiņš Bičevskis and Jānis Pizičs as members of the committee. Meanwhile, at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on 16 September, the payment of quarterly dividends was approved, as a result of which 917 thousand euros or 0.0202 EUR per share were paid out of the Company's second quarter profit in extraordinary dividends. Dividends were paid to shareholders on 1 October 2024.

Management report (CONTINUED)

By implementing the business strategy and all planned activities, the following financial results of the Group were achieved in the first nine months of 2024 (profit statement items are compared to the same period of the previous year, balance sheet items are compared to the data as at 31.12.2023):

Position EUR, million Change, %
Net loan portfolio 107.7 +21.0
Assets 124.5 +18.5
Revenue 45.6 +24.9
EBITDA 16.2 +23.7
Profit before taxes 6.8 +13.6
Net profit 5.4 +0.9*

*In relation to the changes in CIT applied at the end of 2023 for banks and non-bank lenders, an advance of 20% of the whole 2023 profit was recognised in Q4 2023. As a result, CIT expenses for the first nine months of 2023 were recognised only for the distributed dividends. If these changes had not come into effect, the net profit for first nine months of 2024 would have been EUR 6.3 million, representing an 17.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.

And following the Group's key financial figures for the last 5 financial quarters:

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 30 September 2024, the Group had 96 branches, 89 in Latvia and 7 in Lithuania (31.12.2023 - 96 branches, 91 in Latvia and 5 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 Q3 2024 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of up to 50% quarterly dividend pay out.
