We are summing up another positive quarter for Qliro. Despite generally weak progress in the e-commerce sector, we are proud to announce continued growth as well as our third consecutive profitable quarter. In addition, we signed agreements with new customers in both SME and enterprise.
Demand for Qliro's services remained strong in the quarter. Income increased by 10 percent, mainly as a result of positive progress in the Payment Solutions business segment. The growth trend for BNPL and Pay Now volumes, which offsets lower invoicing, continued in Q3. Operating profit (EBT) improved by SEK 28.6 million to SEK 1.7 million (-26.9). Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit (EBT) increased by 18 MSEK to SEK 3.9 million (-14.1). The positive progress clearly demonstrates that previously completed rationalization and digitalization initiatives, within the framework of our profitability program, are yielding the desired long-term results.
In the quarter, we signed an agreement with a new enterprise merchant, Proteinbolaget, which, after successful integration, went live at the start of October. In Q3, we welcomed a total of eight new merchants, including several enterprise merchants that we entered into contracts with earlier in the year. At the end of the quarter, there are a total of 73 (54) active merchants on Qliro's platform. Due to intensified sales efforts, increased market interest and product improvements, we are hopeful that we will shortly welcome even more merchants in enterprise, with significant sales volumes, and in SME.
The Swedish Trade Federation's e-commerce indicator forecasts continued weak progress for e-commerce in Sweden, with a decline of 5 percent in Q3 2023. In the same period, Qliro's total sales volumes in Payment Solutions increased by 2 percent, indicating that we continued to win markets share in the third quarter. Our new position, with a sharper focus on merchants and their customer journey,
remains an important factor for winning further customers.
As part of our growth strategy we are continuing to invest in marketing activities aimed at spreading the word about the new, customer-focused Qliro. After the end of the period, we once more had the pleasure of hosting, alongside the podcast Framtidens e-handel, the e-commerce event Growth & Profitability which was held in Gothenburg this time. Close to 200 guests, including merchants and partners, gathered to listen to some of the sector's most successful leaders, including key staff from some of our connected e-commerce partners such as Nelly, Inet & Parfym.se.
The plan for accelerating growth includes important initiatives focused on value creation for our e-merchants with the aim of increasing the rate of conversion, driving upsales and creating loyal customers who return to our e-merchants time and time again.
As part of the improvements to the conversion rate in Qliro's checkout, during the third quarter we started seeing the result of this spring's initiatives aimed at personalized optimization of payment options, the launch of Trustly Express and improved transaction risk analysis, with an increase in the conversion rate of more than one percent in Sweden and over three percent in Norway.
Another example is provided by the partnership with Sift Lab, a leading operator in personalized AI-solutions in Sweden, which was announced after the end of the period.
The collaboration provides merchants with access to the latest technology for upsell and making AI-based product recommendations. This is the result of successful customer testing alongside operators such as our customer Parfym. se, which has doubled upselling in Qliro's checkout module.
In the quarter, we also introduced the Swish payment method within the framework of our recently launched Collecting PSP service, which reduces dependence on external payment providers in cases where we handle the financial flows. By acting as the only counterparty with merchants, we ensure a seamless experience, reduce administration as a result of fewer agreements, and simplify reporting. The service also contributes to a simpler sales process and faster onboarding of new merchants. Collecting PSP has now been launched under the product name Unified Payments.
In Digital Banking Services, net interest income increased by 10 percent to SEK 18.5 million (16.9), while lending decreased to SEK 795 million (910). In relation to the loan portfolio, credit losses remained at similar levels to Q1 2023 and Q2 2023, even if the figure increased in year-on-year terms.
In the quarter, we extended the range of services we offer and now provide fixed-term savings accounts over three and six months. The aim is to optimize deposits in relation to seasonal variations in commerce activity, and thus also optimize volumes in Payment Solutions. The business segment continues to generate high ratings in NPS customer surveys, evidence of the competitiveness of our offering and of an improved digital customer journey in the app and online.
We are now starting to see the results of our investments in digitalization, rationalization and automation that have been completed since we launched our profitability program. In
order to further speed up product development, we have initiated organizational changes to create new internal teams, for our product and tech-team which currently comprises approximately 50 percent of all our employees. The new structure provides us with an opportunity to increase the customer focus, as each team (tribe) works with a clearly defined customer group. The reorganization ensures more autonomous teams and thus increases the prospects of success for our product and tech strategy. As part of these changes, alongside severance pay, we recognized minor restructuring expenses of SEK 2.3 million in the quarter.
In the third quarter, we reached several milestones in our strategic plan and transformational journey towards offering the market-leading experience for e-merchants, our acceleration in SME, and increased capitalization on our growing sales volumes in Pay Now. We are convinced that our strong customer focus contributes to long-term, sustainable relationships that offer a growing pipeline of new customers, as more e-merchants choose to review their customer journey and technical suppliers. With three profitable quarters behind us, we have good prospects of reaching our previously communicated target of profitability for the full year 2023.

Qliro considers that it is more relevant for amounts recovered through third parties relating to overdue receivables previously presented as commission income to instead be included in the calculation and presentation of credit loss. This change is being made proactively henceforth, and has been applied retroactively in this Interim Report. The change does not impact operating income or profit for the year, nor does it affect primary financial reporting other than the Income Statement.
In the third quarter 2023, commission income and net credit losses decreased by SEK 3.5 million.
See Note 1 for more information on amounts that retroactively reduce commission income and net credit losses.
Items affecting comparability totaling SEK 2.3 million were recognized in the third quarter 2023, which had a negative effect on the company's profit for the quarter.
Items affecting comparability totaling SEK 12.8 million were recognized in the third quarter 2022, which had a negative
effect on the company's profit. The costs relate to the previously announced profitability program and comprise SEK 8.3 million in accelerated amortization of earlier technology investments and SEK 4.6 million primarily related to consulting expenses.
Total income increased by 10 percent to SEK 112.6 million (102.3), primarily driven by increased Pay Now and BNPL volumes in Payment Solutions.
Net interest income increased by 17 percent to SEK 69.8 million (59.5), where interest income amounted to SEK 97.8 million (71.3) and interest expenses amounted to SEK -28.1 million (-11.9). Interest income rose due to increased lending in Payment Solutions and higher BNPL volumes.
Net commission income decreased by 3 percent to SEK 42.4 million (43.8) as a result of changed customer behavior.
Net gains and losses on financial transactions amounted to SEK –0.1 million (–1.0).
Operating expenses decreased to SEK -81.7 million (-103.6). Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating expenses decreased to SEK -79.4 million (-90.7).
General administrative expenses, comprising consultancy and IT expenses, decreased to -58.9 million (–66.5), mainly due to lower consultancy costs and efficiency gains in the completed profitability program, including digitalization of customer communication.
Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –4.6 million (–5.6) due to lower marketing costs.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment fell by 42 percent to SEK -18.1 million (-31.4) and primarily related to amortization of previously capitalized development expenses for e-merchant payment solutions, as well as consumer products, website and app solutions.
Total net credit losses amounted to SEK –29.2 million (–25.6), primarily driven by a changed customer mix. Credit losses for the quarter amounted to 4.7 percent (4.1) of average lending, in line with earlier quarters of the year.
In absolute terms, recognized credit losses increased in Payment Solutions, partly due to higher total sales volumes. Credit losses in Digital Banking Services increased as a result of reduced inflow of new loan volumes in combination with impairmentsin accordance with IFRS 9.
Operating profit (EBT) was SEK 1.7 million (-26.9) Operating profit (EBT) for the period adjusted for items affecting comparability increased to SEK 3.9 million (-14.1).
The progress was due to increased income, lower fixed expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Profit/loss for the period was SEK 0.7 million (-21.8) Profit/ loss for the period adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 2.5 million (-11.6).
The high tax level of SEK 3.0 M in relation to profit before tax of SEK 5.6 M was due to interest on subordinated debt (SEK 7.6 M) not being tax-deductible.
Qliro considers that it is more relevant for amounts recovered through third parties relating to overdue receivables previously presented as commission income to be included in the calculation and presentation of net credit losses. This change is being made proactively henceforth, and has been applied retroactively in this Interim Report. The change does not impact operating income or profit for the year, nor does it affect primary financial reporting other than the Income Statement.
In the period January-September 2023, commission income and net credit losses decreased by SEK 15.4 million.
Please see Note 1 for more information on which amounts have retroactively reduced commission income and net credit losses.
Items affecting comparability related to redundancies totaling SEK 2.3 million were recognized in the period January - September 2023, which had a negative effect on the company's profit for the quarter.
Items affecting comparability totaling SEK 18.1 million were recognized in the period January - September 2023, which had a negative effect on the company's profit for the quarter. Expenses included adjusted sales tax of SEK -4.9 million, severance pay to a former member of management of SEK 2.1 million, costs related to the previously announced profitability program of SEK 18.4 million and a provision of SEK 2.5 million for legal expenses relating to a concluded dispute with the Consumer Ombudsman in the Patent and Market Court.
Total income increased by 9 percent to SEK 332.1 million (304.4). This increase was primarily driven by increased BNPL and Pay Now volumes in Payment Solutions.
Net interest income increased by 15 percent to SEK 201.5 million (175.5), where interest income increased to SEK 271.9 million (207.9) and interest expenses to SEK -70.4 million (-32.4). Interest income rose due to increased lending within Payment Solutions.
Net commission income increased marginally to SEK 131.5 million (131.1).
Net gains and losses on financial transactions amounted to SEK –1.7 million (–2.4).
Operating expenses decreased to SEK -244.2 million (-294.3). Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating expenses decreased to SEK -241.9 million (-276.2). General administrative expenses, comprising consultancy and IT expenses, decreased to -173.4 million (–198.9), mainly due to lower consultancy costs and rationalizations in the previously completed profitability program.
Other expenses amounted to SEK -17.2 million (-13.7). The increase compared to the corresponding period in the previous year was due to increased sales and marketing activities and the recognition of a non-recurring sales tax in Norway in the comparable period.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment decreased to SEK -53.6 million (-81.7) and primarily related to amortization of previously capitalized payment solutions for e-merchants, as well as consumer products, website and app solutions.
Net credit losses increased by 4 percent to SEK -82.3 million (-79.5) as a result of a changed customer mix. The credit loss ratio was 4.3 percent (4.1) of average lending.
In absolute terms, recognized credit losses were unchanged in Payment Solutions for the period. Credit losses in Digital Banking Services were also in line with previous quarters. It is noteworthy that credit losses for the period are growing at a slower rate than income, indicating an improved risk-adjusted operating margin.
Operating profit (EBT) amounted to SEK 5.6 million (-69.3). Operating profit (EBT) for the period adjusted for items affecting comparability increased to SEK 7.8 million (-51.2). The progress was due to lower fixed costs, depreciation and amortization, and increased total income.
Profit/loss for the period was SEK 2.6 million (-56.4). Profit/loss for the period adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 4.4 million (-42.0).
Comparisons with the third quarter 2022 unless otherwise indicated.
Qliro offers digital payment solutions to e-merchants in the Nordics. Qliro's checkout is provided both for web and app use, and includes relevant payment methods for direct payments through Pay Now as well as Qliro's own payment methods through Pay Later functionality. Income is mainly generated by offering deferred payment for online purchases (Pay Later), e.g. via invoice, "buy now pay in x months", and various forms of partial payments. When new merchants join the platform, Qliro's payment volumes increase, which gradually drives growth in the loan portfolio and generates income over time.
Qliro's payment solution includes all relevant payment methods for direct payments, referred to as Pay Now. Other payment methods offered in Pay Now include card payments, direct bank payment, mobile payment through Vipps, Mobilpay and Swish, and payment via PayPal and iDeal.
Qliro has already obtained PCI-DSS approval, which has allowed the company to become a Collecting Payment Service Provider. In Q3, the service was relaunched under the product name Unified Payments. In the quarter, Qliro also successfully tested and introduced Swish payments as part of its offering, and the plan is to include further payment
methods on a continuous basis. The service packages the payment methods included in Pay Now so that they can be offered directly to merchants with Qliro as the only counterparty (for agreements, payments, pricing etc.). With the Unified Payment service, the company can capitalize on growing volumes in Pay Now by offering different proprietary payment methods that were previously only available through partners. The approval is also a key step towards enabling growth in the SME segment, where e-merchants are increasingly requiring packaged solutions.
The number of connected merchants was 73 (54) at the end of the third quarter.
Svensk Handel's (Swedish Trade Federation) e-commerce indicator showed continued slow progress for e-commerce in Sweden, with an downturn of 5 percent in Q3 2023. At the same time, Qliro's total sales volumes increased by 2 percent to SEK 2,757 million in Q3 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
Progress was primarily driven by increased BNPL volume and lending to members of the public, which had an overall positive effect on Qliro's profit. Pay Later volumes decreased

2) New KPIs Q1 2023
by 4 percent to SEK 1,407 million (1,464) year-on-year as a result of lower invoiced volumes. The loan portfolio grew by 9 percent in the quarter, to SEK 1,664 million.
Total income increased by 10 percent to SEK 94.0 million (85.3). The income margin increased to 22.7 percent (21.9). Net interest income increased by 20 percent to SEK 51.2 million (42.6). Increased lending to the public and interest rate adjustments to customers had a positive effect on net interest income in the quarter. Net commission income decreased by 3 percent to SEK 42.3 million (43.7) as a result of changes in customer behavior.
Credit losses in the quarter increased to SEK 22.2 million (19.2) compared to the previous year. It is noteworthy that credit losses for the period January - September 2023 were unchanged on the corresponding period of the previous year at SEK 60.6 million (60,6), while total income increased by 9 percent in the same period. For Pay Later volumes, credit losses increased to 1.6 percent (1.3) as a result of a changed customer mix combined with increased lending. During the period, Qliro also signed a new SRG agreement on the Swedish market.
Comparisons with the second quarter 2022 unless otherwise indicated.
Within Digital Banking Services, Qliro offers personal loans and savings accounts to individuals in Sweden. Qliro's app makes it easy to manage payments, loans and savings. In Q3 2023, the company expanded its service offering to include fixed-rate accounts for three and six month periods. Qliro already offers a 12-month fixed-rate account and a savings account with variable interest and unrestricted withdrawals.
A majority of borrowers had an existing relationship with Qliro, implying low customer acquisition costs and good customer knowledge for loan applicants. Credit checks are automated and based on a combination of internal and external data analyzed in real time through machine learning. More than half of Qliro's personal loan customers use the loans to consolidate smaller debts with higher interest rates and thereby reduce their interest costs. Lending decreased to SEK 795 million (910). Net interest income increased by 10 percent to SEK 18.5 million (16.9). This was primarily because lending to the public decreased during the quarter at the same time as average interest rates increased. The income margin improved to 9.2 percent (7.3) in the quarter.
Credit losses of SEK 7.0 million (6.4) were recognized in the quarter. Credit losses corresponded to 3.5 percent of average lending, in line with the previous quarter.

Qliro AB's own funds (see Note 9 Capital adequacy) decreased to SEK 428 million (477). In addition to Common Equity Tier 1 capital, own funds comprise SEK 100 million in subordinated Tier 2 capital in the form of a subordinated bond issued in 2019.
The risk exposure amount increased slightly to SEK 2,290 million (2,277).
Qliro is well-capitalized and the total capital ratio was 18.7 percent (21), compared with the regulatory requirement of 13.9 percent, and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.3 percent (16.6), compared with the regulatory requirement of 9 percent.
In addition to equity, lending to the public was funded by SEK 2,687 million (2,924) in deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden and Germany. The secured loan facility enables currency matching between the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet.
Deposits from the public are a flexible and functional form of funding given Qliro's lending, which largely consists of small loans of short duration.
Qliro offers savings accounts to consumers in Sweden and a deposit offering in EUR in Germany in partnership with the open banking platform Raisin.
At the end of the quarter, deposits in Sweden amounted to SEK 2,314 million (2,333) and deposits in Germany to SEK 373 million (591).
Qliro has solid liquidity and as of September 30, 2023 Qliro's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 613 million (935).
The liquidity portfolio is invested in Nordic banks as well as other liquid investments such as Swedish municipal bonds and commercial paper with an average rating of AA+ and an average maturity of 109 days.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as of September 30, 2023 was 434 percent, compared to the statutory requirement of 100 percent.
The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 126 percent and the leverage ratio was 10 percent.

Qliro AB has previously communicated an ambition to achieve positive operating income (EBT) for the full year 2023, and has announced the launch of a profitability program. EBT is expected to remain positive for the full year 2023.
Qliro's Pay Later volumes have historically fluctuated between quarters. For example, Qliro has experienced higher volumes in the fourth quarter due to Black Friday and Christmas shopping through Qliro's merchants' web stores. Conversely, volumes are normally lower in the first and third quarter compared to the fourth quarter. The seasonally strong volumes in the fourth quarter usually result in increased income at the beginning of the year when invoices, to some extent, are converted to flexible part payments and BNPL campaigns, to some extent, are converted to interest-bearing credits.

The company's registered share capital as of September 30, 2023 was SEK 53,404,324 distributed over 19,072,973 shares with a quotient value of SEK 2.79999 per share. The share price as of September 30, 2023 was SEK 26.20.
Transactions with related parties are of the same character as described in the Annual Report for 2022, which was published on April 5, 2023.
The average number of employees was 189 at the end of the period.
Qliro's operations entail daily risks that are measured, controlled and, when necessary, mitigated to protect the company's capital and reputation. The most prominent risks are credit risk, business risk/strategic risk, operational risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Qliro's annual report for 2022, published on April 5, 2023, and Qliro's prospectus, dated September 28, 2020, which was released prior to the listing of Qliro's shares for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm, contain a detailed description of the company's risk exposures and risk management.
On October 21, 2021 a judgment was passed by the Patent and Market Court prohibiting Svea Ekonomi AB from charging certain late fees on consumer loans. In April 2023, the Patent and Market Court confirmed the judgment. Svea Ekonomi AB has appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court. If the ruling gains legal force, it could affect the industry as a whole and have a negative effect on Qliro's future income.
The last few years' challenging macroeconomic conditions in the form of higher interest rates, rising inflation and increased energy prices, could have a negative impact on consumer demand and consumers' ability to pay their debts. Qliro cannot currently see any discernible effect on the company's income or underlying credit losses.

The Interim Report for Qliro AB covers the period January 1 to September 30, 2023. Qliro's registered office is in Stockholm and the corporate ID no. is 556962-2441.
The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretive statements on these standards as approved for application within the EU. Supplementary information ensuing from the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559), as well as the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and general advice on annual accounts for credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25), have been applied.
RFR 1 Complementary Accounting Rules for Groups and the statement from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have also been applied in the Consolidated Accounts.
The Parent Company has prepared the Interim Report in accordance with ÅRKL and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and general advice on annual accounts for credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25). The Parent Company also applies RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and statements by the Swedish Financial
Reporting Board. In accordance with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's general advice, the Parent Company has applied international financial reporting standards as approved by the EU in the preparation of the financial reports.
Qliro's Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the Annual Report for 2022.
As of December 31, 2019, Qliro AB acquired the subsidiary QFS Incitament AB, thereby forming a Group. The difference between the Parent Company and the Group is that IFRS 16 Leases has been applied in the Consolidated Accounts.
Qliro considers that it is more relevant for amounts recovered through third parties relating to overdue receivables previously presented as commission income to instead be included in the calculation and presentation of credit loss. This change is being made proactively henceforth, and has been applied retroactively in this Interim Report. The change does not impact operating income or profit for the year, nor does it affect primary financial reporting other than the Income Statement. The following amounts have retroactively reduced commission income and credit loss:

To the Board of Directors of Qliro AB (publ.) Corp. id. 556962-2441
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Qliro AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies.
