Management report

During the first nine months of 2023, Latvian financial services Group AS DelfinGroup reached an income of EUR 36.9 million, a 46% increase compared to the same period in 2022. The Group has shown eminent growth on the EBITDA level, which increased by 41% and reached EUR 13.1 million. During the reporting period, the Group continued to show stable growth in profitability. Accordingly, profit before taxes reached EUR 6.0 million, an 11% increase yearly, and net profit increased by 25%, reaching EUR 5.3 million.

Constant growth in the 3rd quarter continued in all the main segments of DelfinGroup, such as consumer lending, pawn lending, and retail of pre-owned goods. Income during the 3rd quarter grew by 38%, reaching 13.3 million euros. EBITDA in the 3rd quarter increased by 32% while profit before taxes reached 2.2 million euros, a 12% increase. Net profit of the period was EUR 1.9 million, an increase of 9%.

Segment-wise demand for all the main DelfinGroup products remained stable during the 3rd quarter of 2023. The Group secured solid loan issuance amounts in consumer and pawn lending segments. During the first nine months of 2023, the Group issued consumer loans of 51.6 million euros, an 18% increase compared to the previous year, while in the 3rd quarter, the consumer loan issuance grew by 4%, which is a result of improvements in customer evaluations thus focusing on lower-risk clients thus ensuring balanced growth and a lower-risk portfolio in the longterm. Also, the pawn lending segment improved by providing loan issuance of 17.6 million euros, a 26% growth compared to last year's first nine months and an 11% increase in the 3rd quarter of 2023. As the loan issuance and average loan term have increased, the loan portfolio has significantly improved during the year. Already in the second quarter of 2023, the net loan portfolio amount surpassed the 2023 target. As of 30 September 2023, the net loan portfolio of the Group was 84.6 million euros, which was a 25% increase compared to the beginning of the year.

In August, a new concept store was opened in Jēkabpils, moving to new and more spacious premises. The premises' improvement and expansion are part of the Banknote branch development project, offering customers new stores with a circular economy concept in various locations in Latvia. The store premises differ significantly in design, decoration and furnishing. The new Banknote store is located in the town center next to the Old Town Square. Also, the oldest pawnshop in Latvia, Riga City Pawnshop, operating since 1802, has moved to new premises at Audēju Street 6. The new premises offer a more comprehensive range of goods, including historical items, exclusive jewellery and precious metals, thus attracting those looking for valuable items with unique stories. The oldest pawnshop in Riga offers paintings by well-known Latvian artists, various types of porcelain tableware and objects, antique literature, wristwatches, and unique jewellery with and without gemstones, the most popular category of goods. In addition to the opportunity to buy goods and precious metals, Riga City Pawnshop also offers pawn loans, consumer loans, gemologist services and purchases with split payments.

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.

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

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

Capitalization ratio = total equity / (non-current loans and receivables + current loans and receivables) * 100.

Interest coverage ratio = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses) / 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.

Management report (CONTINUED)

Price changes since the beginning of 2022, %

Branches

As at 30 September 2023, the Group had 91 branches in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2022 - 91 branches in 38 cities).

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, 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 2023 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of up to 50% quarterly dividend pay out.
