Management report

During the 1st quarter of 2022 Latvian financial services company AS DelfinGroup has reached a turnover of EUR 7.5 million which is 24% more compared to the same period in 2021. Over the first three months of 2022 EBITDA also showed a stable growth increasing by 8% while the Group achieved significant profitability improvements. Profit before taxes during the first three months of 2022 increased by 42% year-on-year and reached EUR 1.6 million, at the same time net profit increased by 76% and reached EUR 1.4 million. The increased revenue was mainly facilitated by the growth of activity in consumer lending, pawn lending and retail of pre-owned goods segments, while profitability was significantly improved by reduced costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2022 AS DelfinGroup issued EUR 15.1 million EUR in new loans securing loan issuance growth of 60% year on year. Growth in loan issuance was mainly supported by significant consumer lending increase that grew by 73%. In addition, easing of Covid-19 restrictions during the first quarter gave a positive impact on pawn loan issuance which increased by 30% compared to the same period in 2021. Consequently, strong loan issuance resulted in a record high net loan portfolio amount reaching EUR 47.1 million which is 46% increase year-on-year.

On 1 March the composition of the Management Board of AS DelfinGroup was changed: Sanita Zitmane was appointed as a Member of the Management board. She replaced Chief Operations Officer Ivars Lamberts who decided to resign from his position as a Member of the Management Board and to undertake other activities outside the Group.

During the first three months of 2022 AS DelfinGroup completed the acquisition of the AS Moda Kapitāls pawn shop business, which was started in August 2021. AS Moda Kapitāls owned the fourth largest pawn shop network in Latvia and the acquisition of its business will strengthen the leading position of AS DelfinGroup in regions. After the conclusion of the deal, a new branch was opened in Daugavpils, while Banknote branches in Ludza and Preiļi was moved to better and larger premises.

Another major improvement during the last quarter was increasing the maximum available loan amount for VIZIA clients from EUR 7 000 up to EUR 10 000. Such step will allow VIZIA brand to adapt the growing customer demand for larger loan transactions that have been observed over the last periods.

Following the aggression of Russia in Ukraine, during the 1st quarter of 2022 AS DelfinGroup actively supported the war-affected people of Ukraine and donated in total EUR 100 000 to two initiatives: EUR 70 000 for the Entrepreneurs for Peace (Uzņēmēji mieram) movement and EUR 30 000 for the Ziedot.lv Stand With Ukraine initiative.

On 28 March AS DelfinGroup held an Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders during which shareholders of AS DelfinGroup approved dividend distribution in the amount of EUR 780 thousand, namely EUR 0.0172 per share, from the profit of 4th quarter of 2021. Dividends were paid according to AS DelfinGroup dividend policy which anticipate quarterly dividend payments up to 50% from previous quarters' net profit. In addition, shareholders approved amendments to the Employee Stock Options Program allowing the company to grant up to 100 000 shares within the period of 4 years to strategic employees.

On 30 March AS DelfinGroup published its audited annual report and Corporate Governance Report for 2021. Reports are available at AS DelfinGroup webpage www.delfingroup.lv or on Nasdaq Riga stock exchange.

Branches

As at 31 March 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 Q1 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 three months ended 31 March 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: SIA ViziaFinance (100%) for the period ended 31 March 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 understatemed 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) The Management has also identified a classification error on debt sale result. The error relates to incorrect classification of debt sale result under interest expenses and resulted in unstrstatement of Other operating expenses and overstatement of Interest expenses and similar expenses.

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

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):

(15) Subsequent events

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.

On 1 April 2022 most of the epidemiological safety measures related to COVID-19 pandemic were lifted, for instance, there are no more limited number of customers allowed in branches. Before and now all services provided by the Group are available to customers in full.

On 29 April 2022 shareholders of the Group have approved distribution of the profit for 2021 and previous periods and to pay out dividends of EUR 2 501 641.59 or EUR 0.0552 per share.
