Management report

During the first half of 2022, Latvian financial services Group JSC DelfinGroup reached a turnover of EUR 16.1 million, which is 35% more compared to the same period in 2021. Also, EBITDA showed stable growth in the 2nd quarter with a 43% increase over last year's corresponding period, reaching EUR 3.2 million. The significant increase in turnover was also reflected in profitability. Profit before taxes during the first six months of 2022 increased by 58% year-on-year and reached EUR 3.6 million, and net profit showed a 47% increase in the 2nd quarter reaching EUR 1.22 million. Growth in business and profitability volumes was facilitated by all the main segments of JSD DelfinGroup, such as consumer lending, pawn lending, and retail of pre-owned goods. As a result, the 2nd quarter of 2022 itself has been the most successful in the history of the Group, with record-high revenue and profit before tax.

Also, record-high numbers have been reached in new loan issuance in the 2nd quarter. The Group issued EUR 15.4 million in new consumer loans, an increase of 90% yearly. Also, the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in Latvia in the 2nd quarter positively impacted the pawn lending segment in which the Group issued EUR 5 million, an increase of 65% compared to last year. As a result, pawn loan issuance has surpassed pre-Covid-19 levels, which is a vital sign for future growth. Consequently, the strong loan issuance resulted in a record-high net loan portfolio amount reaching EUR 53.8 million, which has already exceeded the Group's strategic goal of reaching a net loan portfolio of EUR 51 million at the end of 2022.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Group continued to adhere to the promise of regular dividend distribution. As a result, shareholders of JSC DelfinGroup during the 2nd quarter received three dividend payments in total of EUR 2.73 million, namely EUR 0.0603 per share. As per the Group's dividend policy, quarterly dividends are paid up to 50% of the previous quarter's net profit. Since the IPO in October 2021, the Group has paid quarterly dividends from profits for all the periods starting from the 3rd quarter of 2021. It is expected that it will be proposed to the Shareholders' meeting to approve dividend payment from the profits of the 2nd quarter of 2022.

In June 2022, JSC DelfinGroup concluded a bond issue of EUR 10 million on the Nasdaq Riga alternative market, Nasdaq First North, with the historically lowest annual coupon rate of 8% and with a maturity date of November 25, 2023. In addition, the Group has registered a new private placement bond issue for EUR 10 million with an annual coupon rate of 8.75% + 3M EURIBOR rate and a maturity date of September 25, 2024.

In the 2nd quarter, the Group continued to modernize Banknote branch network by opening a new branch in Olaine. Modern and convenient branch embodies the plans to develop the Banknote chain this year, to continue with the creation of a new concept, and the modernization of a number of branches.

JSC DelfinGroup has published its second sustainable corporate governance or ESG report showing that the Group has prevented the origination of 10 793 tons of additional carbon emissions by rendering circular economy services. As a result, the Group has covered the carbon emissions of 2955 individuals in Latvia. The total carbon gas emissions in Latvia are 3,59 tons per capita. The full ESG report is available at JSC DelfinGroup website www.delfingroup.lv.

In April 2022, the Society Integration Foundation commended JSC DelfinGroup and announced it as a Family-Friendly Workplace that prioritizes people and their needs. These values represent a long-term focus in all areas of the Group's business: from staff development to business development and social responsibility.

Also, in April 2022, the Group continued to support Ukraine with another EUR 100 thousand donation. Children's Hospital Foundation and Entrepreneurs for Peace received the donation to continue helping refugee children with healthcare services in Latvia and to send essential goods to people in Ukraine.

Branches

As at 30 June 2022, the Group had 93 branches in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2021 - 93 branches in 38 cities).

Risk management

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 bonds and loans, 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.

Distribution of the profit proposed by the Company

The Company's board recommends the distribution of Q2 2022 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of 50% quarterly dividend payout.

Notes

(1) Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies and measurement principles as set out below.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Management considers that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over this assumption. They have formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and disclosed on a consolidated basis. The following subsidiaries are included in the consolidation: LLC ViziaFinance (100%) for the period ended 30 June 2022.

Restatement in comparative figures

  • (a) The Management has identified a classification error on bond issuance commissions while preparing Group's financial statements. The error relates to incorrect classification of bond issuance commissions as bank commissions under Administrative costs. The error resulted in overstatement of amount of bank commission expenses and understatement of interest expenses;
  • (b) The Management has identified a classification error on accrued interest expenses. The error relates to incorrect classification of accrued interest expenses for other borrowings under Credit loss expense and resulted in understated amount of credit loss expenses and overstatement of interest expenses. To comply with presentation requitements of IFRS 9, the Group reclassified mentioned amount from Credit loss expense to Interest expenses and similar expenses;
  • (c) After period end the management has identified that additional credit loss expense should be recognised for portfolio of former subsidiary LLC ExpressInkasso.

The aforementioned corrections were performed by restating each of the affected financial statements line items for the prior 6 months ended 30 June period, as follows:

(8) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables by loan type (continued)

All loans are issued in euros. Weighted average term for consumer loans is 2.6 years and for pawn loans is one month.

The Group has signed a debt sale agreement that provides assigning of loans over 90 days in delay. Losses from these transactions were recognised in the current reporting period.

The claims in the amount of EUR 4 509 880 (31.12.2021: EUR 3 372 269) are secured by the value of the collateral. Claims against debtors for loans issued against pledge are secured by pledges, whose fair value is higher than the carrying value, therefore provisions for secured overdue loans are not made.

(15) Segment information

For management purposes, the Company is organised into three operating segments based on products and services as follows:

Pawn loan segment
Retail of pre-owned goods
Handling pawn loan issuance.
Sale of pre-owned goods in the branches and online purchased from customers.
Consumer loan segment Handling consumer loans to customers, debt collection activities and loan cessions to external debt collection

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance, as explained in the table below, is measured differently from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. 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 (statement of profit or loss provisions are compared for the same period of the previous year, balance sheet positions are compared to the data as at 31.12.2021):

On 24 February 2022, Russian Federation has started a war at Ukraine. Countries round the world support Ukraine by announcing financial and economic sanctions against Russian Federation and its ally Republic of Belarus. The management of the Group has evaluated current situation and has concluded that the aforementioned sanctions have no direct impact on the Group's operations since all sales for the Group are generated in Latvia and the Group has no direct exposure to Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian market. In addition, the management performed an overview and analysis of its counterparties and confirms that the Group does not have any relations with the sanctioned companies and sanctioned private individuals. There is still uncertainty related to final outcome of the situation, but the management regularly follows on the further developments, analyses a possible impact on the Group's business and is properly prepared to assess and implement any changes into business operations, risk management practices, policies and accounting estimates.
