Management report

According to the non-audited results of the year 2021 Latvian financial services company AS DelfinGroup has increased its revenue to EUR 25.5 million or by 7.7.% a year on year basis and 9.2% on a quarterly basis. In the 4th quarter of 2021 EBITDA increased by 33.3% compared to 3 rd quarter of 2021 and for 12 months EBITDA increased by 7.4% and reached EUR 10.2 million. During the 4th quarter of 2021 profit before taxes increased by 41.7% compared to 3 rd quarter of 2021 and was EUR 1.7 million and by 7.2% year on year and reached EUR 5.2 million. During the 4th quarter of 2021 the net profit has increased by 60% compared to 3 rd quarter. The 4th quarter financial results mark the best results for a give quarter in the history of the Company. The increased revenue and profitability were mainly facilitated by stable growth of online consumer lending and retail of pre-owned goods.

During 2021 AS DelfinGroup issued EUR 52.5 million in new loans securing loan issuance growth of 9% year on year. Growth in loan issuance was mainly supported by the significant consumer lending increase which grew by 24% year on year and reached EUR 37 million. The positive trend of consumer loan issuance also reflected in AS DelfinGroup net loan portfolio which at the end of 2021 reached a record level – EUR 43 million, a 23.9% increase compared to previous year. Although, due to the restrictions placed on offline services in 2021 pawn loan issuance decreased by 15% year on year, nevertheless, in the 4 th quarter of 2021 pawn loan segment has improved by having only a slight 5% decrease in the issuance compared to the same period in 2020.

In the 4th quarter of 2021 AS DelfinGroup successfully closed initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq Riga stock exchange in which a total of 5,927 investors participated. As a result AS DelfinGroup raised in total EUR 8.09 million of gross proceeds. The split of the new shareholders is as follows: 4.5 thousand investors from Estonia, 1.2 thousand from Latvia, 0.2 thousand from Lithuania and 44 investors from other countries. On 20 October 2021 AS DelfinGroup shares were listed for trading on the Baltic Main List. Funds attracted from the IPO substantially improved capital structure of the company as a result equity ratio reaching of 33.4% at the end of 2021.

With the help of funds raised from the IPO, during the 4th quarter 2021 AS DelfinGroup repaid and refinanced bonds in total amount of EUR 13.5 million. From those bonds EUR 5 million with 14% coupon rate were repaid according to schedule on 25.10.2021. With the aim to decrease financing costs EUR 5 million bonds with a 14% coupon rate and EUR 3.5 million bonds with 12% coupon rate were redeemed prematurely in November and December of 2021. All the transactions were made according to the IPO prospectus with the goal to decrease the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, during the 4th quarter the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 10.7% to 7.5%. In addition, to support the growing loan portfolio during November 2021 AS DelfinGroup registered a new issue of unsecured bonds in the amount of EUR 10 million with an annual coupon rate of 8%. This is the lowest coupon rate in the history of AS DelfinGroup and marks a new milestone for the Group. At the end of the reporting period subscription of the bonds was still ongoing.

On December 15 December the composition of the Management Board was changed: Chief Financial Officer Aldis Umblejs was appointed as a Member of the Management Board. He replaced Kristaps Bergmanis who had decided to resign from his positions as Member of the Management Board and undertake other activities outside the Company.

On 14 October SIA ExpressInkasso and on 1 December SIA REFIN were liquidated and excluded from the Register of Enterprises. The activities of these companies will be carried out by the parent company AS DelfinGroup.

On 10th December 2021 AS DelfinGroup held its first shareholders' meeting as a public stock company. At the meeting AS DelfinGroup shareholders approved to pay out an extraordinary dividend in the amount of EUR 512 thousand, namely EUR 0.0113 per share, from the profit of the third quarter of 2021 of AS DelfinGroup. 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 the issue of new bonds up to EUR 10 million to fund further business development of the company.

In the twelve months of 2021, in accordance with the adopted dividend policy, the company paid dividends in the amount of EUR 3.7 million.

Branches

During the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, the Group continued to work on branch network efficiency. As at 31 December 2021, the Group had 93 branches in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2020 - 89 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.

Post balance sheet events

As at the time of signing these financial statements, there is uncertainty in the country in relation to COVID-19. Even though the length and negative economic impact of the COVID–19 situation cannot be precisely estimated, the Company has made decisions, and will make such in the future, to ensure that the Company's liquidity, cost reduction and portfolio quality is ensured.

Beginning of February 2022 the Group finalized taking over the pawn shop business of AS Moda Kapitāls. The transaction was started in August 2021 and involved acquisition of AS Moda Kapitāls pawn loan portfolio.

Except for the aforementioned, there are no subsequent events since the last date of the reporting year, which would have a significant effect on the financial position and performance of the Company as at 31 December 2021.

Distribution of the profit proposed by the Company

The Company's board recommends the distribution of Q4 2021 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of 50% quarterly dividend payout.

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 twelve months ended 31 December 2021 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.

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 2020.

The assets of the SIA Banknote commercial properties were transferred to AS DelfinGroup as liquidation quota. The former subsidiary SIA ExpressInkasso (100%) has been liquidated on 09 September 2021 (excluded from the Enterprise register on 14 October 2021). The assets of the SIA ExpressInkasso were transferred to AS DelfinGroup as liquidation quota. The former subsidiary SIA REFIN (100%) has been liquidated on 01 December 2021.

Changes in significant accounting policies, reclassification and correction of errors

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

These Standards do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The amendments provide temporary reliefs, which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:

• A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest;

• Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued;

• Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.

These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

Restatement in comperative figures

  • (a) In these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has adopted changes in accounting policy in respect of recognition of internally generated intangible assets. The change relates to to development of software, mainly consisting of internally capitalised salary expenses.
  • (b) The Management has also identified a clasificatoin error while preparing 2021 Group financial statements. The error relates to incorrectly classifying bond issuance commissions as bank commissions under Administrative costs. The error resulted in overstated amount of bank commission expenses and understatement of interest expenses.
