According to the unaudited results of 2022, Latvian financial services group AS DelfinGroup has reached recordhigh income and profitability results in its history. During the 12-month period, income grew by 42%, reaching EUR 35.1 million compared to 2021. Income increase also continued during the fourth quarter when the Group achieved an income of 10.2 million euros, a 48% increase compared to 4th quarter of 2021. Also, on the EBITDA level, the Group showed increasing results, thus reaching an EBITDA of 13.1 million euros, a 29% growth compared to 2021. Furthermore, the Group's profits in 2022 grew alongside the income increase, such as profit before tax which reached EUR 7.3 million and rose by 40%, whereas net profit increased by 42% to 6 million euros.
Last year approved that there is a strong demand for simple and customer-oriented financial services and that AS DelfinGroup can adapt to the global economy's challenges. However, as the Covid-19 restrictions gradually ended in the 1st quarter of 2022 in Latvia, the complex geopolitical situation created new challenges and uncertainty for the global economy. For the Group, this meant adapting to the unique situation by continuing to invest in and develop all the main business segments. However, the company's successful development continued even in uncertain conditions of the economy, which will strengthen the company in the long term.
2023 the Group will continue to focus on developing the circular economy concept and the sale of pre-owned goods, which is a segment that shows tremendous potential in the future, both environmentally and financially. Nevertheless, digitalisation remains the focus for the company for the next year as well. The Group will continue investing in digitalisation to provide simple and accessible services to clients.
Record-high income of the company was facilitated by all the main business segments, which showed impeccable results throughout 2022, including the 4th quarter of the year. During the 12 months, the Group issued a total of 80.3 million euros in loans, from which 22.6 million euros were issued in the last quarter, thus resulting in a yearly increase of 62% and 54% compared to the 4th quarter 2021. The strong loan issuance in 2022 resulted in an all-time high net loan portfolio which at the end of the year amounted to EUR 67.4 million, a growth of 54%.
Segment-wise, improvements are observed in all the primary Group's business segments. In twelve months, AS DelfinGroup issued consumer loans for 60.8 million euros, a 64% increase compared to 2021. Consumer loan issuance was ensured by Banknote and VIZIA, which are well-known brands in the Latvian consumer lending industry. In addition, various sales channels for the consumer lending segment, such as mobile app, webpage, and a vast network of physical branches, ensured the segment's rapid growth. Also pawn lending business is recovering from Covid-19 restrictions which ended in the spring of 2022, thus allowing it to service all the interested clients in branches simultaneously. As a result, the Group has exceeded the pawn lending segment's pre-pandemic levels, reaching a new loan issuance of 19.5 million euros.
In addition, the retail of pre-owned goods, including the sale of collateral showed significantly improved results, especially in the second half of the year. In the 4th quarter, sales reached EUR 3.2 million, an increase of 33%, but on a 12-month basis, amounted to 11.4 million euros which is a 27% increase compared to 2021.
In the 4th quarter of 2022, the Group continued to adhere to the promise of regular dividend distribution. Consequently, shareholders of AS DelfinGroup during the 4th quarter received another dividend payment of 0.0184 euros per share, resulting in a total payment of 833 thousand euros for AS DelfinGroup. During the last year, AS DelfinGroup made six dividend payments to its shareholders. Four payments were made as quarterly dividends, attributed to the Group's quarterly profit, and two as annual dividends. Company shareholders received 5.4 million euros in dividends in 2022, namely 0.1197 euros per share. Since the Group has worked with profits in the 4th quarter of 2022, the Management Board of AS DelfinGroup will propose to the Shareholders' meeting approval on dividend payment from the earnings of the 4th quarter of 2022.
Additionally to the dividend income, AS DelfinGroup shareholders received a positive return on the company's share price, which in 2022 rose by 5.86% while the Nasdaq Baltic Benchmark Index declined by 11.75%, thus being one of a few companies on the Nasdaq Baltic Main List with a positive return in 2022.
During the 4th quarter, 885 investors subscribed for the AS DelfinGroup shares in the public share offerings organised by the company's largest shareholders. The two largest shareholders of the company – SIA L24 Finance and SIA EC finance – sold 741 528 shares for a total value of 1 067 800 euros. As a result, the main goals of the public offerings were achieved – to increase the market's liquidity and to ensure a free float of shares worth at least 10 million euros, which is one of the requirements of the Baltic Main List on the Nasdaq Riga stock exchange.
In addition to business development, AS DelfinGroup continued its social initiatives last year, including providing support to seniors to improve their quality of life and conditions and offering support to the people of Ukraine. Since the start of the war, the company has donated more than 250 000 euros to the Children's Hospital Foundation, the Entrepreneurs for Peace Foundation, and the Association TEV.

As for compliance with the Issue Terms of notes issue ISIN LV0000850048, ISIN LV0000802536 and ISIN LV0000850055 the financial covenant computation is as follows:
| Covenant | Value as of 31.12.2022 |
Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| to maintain a Capitalization Ratio at least 25% | 27% | yes |
| to maintain consolidated ICR of at least 1.25 times, calculated on the trailing 12 month basis |
2.6 | yes |
| to maintain the Net Loan portfolio, plus Cash, net value of outstanding Mintos Debt Security and secured notes balance, at least 1.2 times the outstanding principal amount of all unsecured interest-bearing debt on a consolidated basis. |
1.8 | yes |
As at 31 December 2022, the Group had 91 branches in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2021 - 93 branches in 38 cities).
The Group is not exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the basic transaction currency is the Euro. Majority of the funding of the Group consists of fixed coupon rate borrowings, so that the Group is not 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.
The Company's board recommends the distribution of Q4 2022 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of 50% quarterly dividend payout.

Income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments. For the costs, for which direct allocation to a particular segment is not attributable, the judgement of the management is used to allocate general costs by segments, based on the following cost allocation drivers – loan issuance, segment income, segment employee count, segment employee costs, the amount of segment assets.
The following table presents income, profit, asset, and liability information regarding the Group's operating segments. Based on the nature of the services, the Group's operations can be divided as follows:
