• The company launches its new strategy, "Safe and simple payments," together with a new graphic identity

1) First quarter 2022 in comparison with first quarter 2021
2) Unique customers that have used Qliro's services in the last 12 months


We began 2022 with a strong first quarter where Qliro was able to report an increase in income of 10 percent to SEK 106 million despite more unfavorable market conditions for e-commerce in general. The increase was mainly driven by higher sales in our primary segment, Payment Solutions, where we are seeing increased interest in several of our installment products. Our sales volume in the quarter was even more impressive, I feel, since Svensk Handel's (Swedish Trade Federation) e-commerce indicator for the first quarter (January-March) showed that e-commerce sales are down 13 percent YTD compared with the same period last year. If you also include Swedish consumers' purchases from international e-commerce firms, sales fell by as much as 15 percent according to the report. Our sales volumes in the first quarter declined by 1 percent compared with the same quarter in 2021. This shows our robust position given the market's substantial loss. Expenses increased in line with our target, i.e., much less than income, and corresponded to an increase of 2 percent in the quarter to SEK 87.0 million.
We are seeing a changing consumption pattern among customers with more choosing our loan products and paying for purchases over a longer time. The result was strong growth in the loan book for PAD (Pay After Delivery), which in turn drove income growth. PAD generated the strongest sales volume since Q2 2019. According to our new strategic approach, we have chosen to reduce the marketing of personal loans, which is also reflected in a slightly smaller loan book. In spite of this, income grew by 13 percent in the quarter. In the quarter an item affecting comparability was recognized for a VAT correction in the Norwegian operations, which reduced expenses by a total of SEK 4.9 million. Total credit losses corresponded to SEK 28.0 million in the quarter, which is higher than the SEK 16.8 million we reported in the first quarter 2021 and should be seen as an abnormal quarter. The year-over-year comparison is impacted by a new provision model to calculate the credit loss reserve, which was implemented in Q1 2021. The new calculation
had a positive effect on last year's profit of SEK 7.5 million. For comparison's sake, our credit losses corresponded to SEK 24.0 million in the fourth quarter 2021. This is closer to current credit losses, indicating that we have now reached a more normalized level. Operating profit for the quarter was SEK -8.6 million and net profit for the period was SEK -7.2 million. In the quarter we also onboarded brands such as Stronger, Skoforum and Stuvfabriken.
Qliro has always placed great focus on customers and the merchants we collaborate with. It is gratifying therefore that we have now launched our "Safe and Simple Payments" strategy, which puts even clearer focus on delivering a wider range of secure and simple payment solutions to e-merchants in the Nordics. With this strategy, Qliro has an opportunity to grow as one of the few Nordic players whose core business is payments. As part of the strategy, we began standardizing our offering for the SME segment in Sweden. In the quarter we went live with additional SME merchants, received positive responses to the offering and continued to develop it.
Qliro is now paving the way for more payment alternatives to improve customer friendliness and conversion by introducing new payment methods for merchants such as Vipps, MobilePay and Swish. To strengthen Qliro's focus on secure and simple e-commerce payments, we are also updating our visual identity – an important symbol of our new strategy. Last but not least, we signed a cooperation agreement in the quarter with the e-commerce platform Brink Commerce, which will go live in 2022.
We are – and will continue to be – the best partner to large e-merchants. It is in our DNA which we continue to build on. Our goal is to help merchants optimize their business at the same time that we remain secure and easy to use for our customers. I look forward to leading Qliro in this strategy.
Stockholm, May 3, 2022
Jonas Arlebäck Acting CEO Qliro AB
Qliro AB (Qliro), founded in 2014, is a tech company offering payment solutions in the form of digital checkout solutions for large and medium-sized e-merchants and their customers in the Nordics as well as digital financial services to consumers in Sweden. Since 2017 Qliro is a licensed credit market company under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA). The entire operations are managed from the head office in Stockholm.
In total, Qliro has 2.5 million active customers and 52 connected e-merchants that use Qliro's payment solutions. In the last 12 months 7.4 million purchases were made with Qliro's payment products with a value of approximately SEK 7.1bn.
In October 2020 Qliro was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm with the ticker "QLIRO." The largest owners are Rite Ventures with a 26% interest and Mandatum Private Equity (Sampo) with 10%.
Payment solutions are offered to large and medium-sized e-merchants in the Nordics. The solutions contain Qliro's pay-after-delivery (PAD) products for consumers who buy goods and services online. The products include invoicing, "Buy Now Pay Later" ("BNPL") and various types of part payments. Qliro's payment solution also contains other payment methods offered through partnerships, such as card payments, direct payments from bank accounts or via Vipps and Mobilpay, and PayPal payments. Qliro's income is mainly generated through interest and fees associated with PAD products. The average credit is low and the maturity is short. Through its payment solutions, Qliro has since the start interacted with 5.5 million unique customers in the Nordics, and the number of active customers in the last 12 months exceeds 2.5 million.
Digital banking services consist of services offered on Qliro's digital platforms beyond the payment products from Payment solutions. Qliro's large database of active consumers is a competitive advantage that enables Qliro to offer other attractive products, such as personal loans and savings accounts, at low cost. The products are marketed to existing customers through Qliro's own digital channels.

3) Other key performance measures. For definitions see page 28.
4) In the period items in other operating income were reclassified to commission income, because of which comparable figures have been adjusted. For the full-year 2021 the amount is SEK 10.7 million and for Q1 2021 SEK 2.1 million. There was also a reclassification from other operating expenses to commission expenses, by SEK 4.7 million for the full-year 2021 and by SEK 1.4 million for Q1 2021.
Qliro's income primarily consists of interest income from pay-after-delivery (PAD) products and personal loans as well as fees charged when customers choose Qliro's payment methods, where payment is made after the customer has received their merchandise.
In the first quarter 2022 an item affecting comparability was recognized for a VAT correction in the Norwegian operations, which reduced expenses by a total of SEK 4.9 million.
Total operating income increased by 10 percent to SEK 106.0 million (96.4). The increase was mainly driven by the increased interest in Qliro's payment solutions.
Net interest income increased by 8 percent to SEK 58.3 million (53.9), where interest income increased by 8 percent to SEK 68.3 million (63.3) and interest expenses by 7 percent to SEK 10.0 million (9.4). Interest income increased due to lending in both Payment solutions and Digital banking services. Net commission income increased by 14 percent to SEK 48.3 million (42.2), where increased interest in Qliro's payment solutions contributed positively in the quarter. Net gains and losses on financial items amounted to SEK -0.6 million (0.1). Other income decreased to SEK 0 million (0.1).
Adjusted for items affecting comparability, our expenses remained stable. Total expenses increased by 2 percent in the quarter to SEK 86.6 million (84.9).
Our administrative expenses, consisting of consulting and IT expenses, increased by 10 percent to SEK 60.8 million (55.2). This was mainly due to increased expenses for cyber security systems as well as cloud solutions and remuneration to the interim CEO. Other expenses decreased by 80 percent to SEK 1.4 million (6.7). The decrease was mainly due to a VAT correction in the Norwegian operations in the quarter.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment increased by 4 percent to SEK 24.4 million (23.0) and mainly consisted of amortization of previously capitalized development expenses for e-merchant payment solutions, but also consumer products, the website and app solutions.
Total credit losses increased to SEK 28.0 million (16.7), mainly due to an internally revised credit model that affects comparables.
Within Payment solutions, credit losses increased to SEK 21.8 million (20.7). The increase was due to an adjusted provision for assets outside SRG agreements. In relation to PAD volume, credit losses amounted to 1.4 percent (1.3).
In the Digital banking services segment, credit losses of SEK 6.2 million were recognized (net recoveries of SEK 4.0 million in the first quarter 2021). The credit losses corresponded to 2.4 percent of average lending (credit loss level 1.7 percent in the first quarter 2021). The year-overyear comparison is impacted by a new provision model to calculate the credit loss reserve, which was implemented in Q1 2021. The new calculation had a positive effect on last year's profit of SEK 7.5 million.
Operating profit declined to SEK –8.6 million (–5.3) and net profit for the period decreased to SEK –7.2 million (–4.5).
Comparisons with the first quarter 2021 unless otherwise indicated.
Qliro offers digital payment solutions to e-merchants in the Nordics. Income is mainly generated by offering deferred payment for online purchases (pay-after-delivery, PAD). As new merchants connect to the platform, Qliro's business volumes rise, gradually driving growth in the loan book and generating interest income over time. It is not uncommon for it to take several quarters from the time a merchant signs a contract and becomes connected until it generates significant income for Qliro.
The number of connected merchants increased to 52 (50) in the quarter. Historically, Qliro's strategy has been focused on a customized offering for the very largest Nordic e-merchants. In the second half of 2021 development was begun on a broader offering that includes a more standardized offering for medium-sized merchants.
Svensk Handel's (Swedish Trade Federation) e-commerce indicator published in March showed that e-commerce sales in the first quarter this year were down by 15 percent compared with the same quarter in 2021. Our PAD volume decreased by 1 percent to SEK 1,552 million, while the number of transactions was 1 percent lower at 1.7 million. This shows the robust position that Qliro has given the market's substantial loss. Part payment and BNPL volumes grew at a faster pace, while invoice volume posted a lower growth rate. In Qliro's largest market, Sweden, volumes decreased by 5 percent and in the quarter 79 percent (81) of business volume related to Sweden. In Norway, volumes increased by 37 percent in the quarter.
Growth in PAD volumes is driven by increased sales from previously connected merchants as well as new merchants that used Qliro as a payment partner. The majority of the volumes comes from merchants that added Qliro in the last year. PAD volumes from CDON and Nelly decreased by 1 percent. Their share of the total volume continues to decrease and in the quarter was 37 percent (41). Other merchants' volumes decreased by 1 percent. Lending increased by 10 percent to SEK 1,556 million.
Throughout 2021 we saw a positive trend in PAD thanks to a reduced regulatory burden. The same trend continued in the quarter and PAD generated the strongest growth since Q2 2019. Total operating income increased by 9 percent to SEK 86.7 million (79.2). The income margin decreased to 21.3 percent (21.9). Net interest income increased by 6 percent to SEK 39.1 million (36.9). Increased lending to the public had a positive effect on net interest income in the quarter.
Net commission income increased by 14 percent to SEK 48.1 million (42.1). The increase was driven by increased interest in our part payment products.
Credit losses were stable at SEK 21.8 million (20.7) despite increased lending. In relation to PAD volume, credit losses corresponded to 1.4 percent (1.3). The slightly increased credit loss level was due to increased provisions for assets outside SRG agreements.

Comparisons with the first quarter 2021 unless otherwise indicated.
Qliro drives growth in Digital banking services through marketing in its own digital applications (app and web) to the 2.5 million consumers (of whom 1.9 million in Sweden) who in the last year have used Qliro's credit products.
Qliro offers personal loans and savings accounts to consumers in Sweden and also offers other digital payment services in partnership with other financial firms. In 2020 and 2021 new mobile apps were launched in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. Qliro's app makes it easy to manage payments, loans and savings. The new apps simplify and improve the customer experience with an improved post-purchase experience.
In the first quarter nearly one million unique customers were active in Qliro's app and website.
The majority of all borrowers had an existing relationship with Qliro and many applied through Qliro's app. This means low customer acquisition costs and good knowledge of the customers who apply for loans. Credit checks are automated and based on a combination of internal and external data that is 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 reduce their interest costs.
Lending increased by 3 percent to SEK 1,014 million (985) and in comparison with the previous quarter lending decreased by just over 4 percent.
The increased lending and improved margins contributed to an increase in income of 17 percent to SEK 19.3 million (15.8). The income margin was stable at 7.5 percent (7.5).
Credit losses of SEK 6.2 million were recognized in the quarter, compared with net recoveries of SEK 4.0 million in the first quarter 2021. The net recoveries corresponded to 2.4 percent of average lending (net loan loss level 1.7 percent in the first quarter 2021). The year-over-year comparison is impacted by a new provision model to calculate the credit loss reserve, which was implemented in Q1 2021. The new calculation had a positive effect on last year's profit of SEK 7.5 million.

Qliro AB's own funds (see Note 9 Capital adequacy) decreased to SEK 530 million (588 as of March 31, 2021). In addition to Common Equity Tier 1 capital, own funds consist of SEK 100 million in subordinated Tier 2 capital issued in 2019. The risk exposure amount increased slightly to SEK 2,291 million (2,211 as of March 31, 2021) due to slightly higher lending compared with the same period in 2021.
Qliro is well-capitalized and the total capital ratio was 23.1 percent (26.6 as of March 31, 2021), compared with the regulatory requirement of 12.0 percent, and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.8 percent (22.1 as of March 31, 2021), compared with the regulatory requirement of 8.0 percent. This means that Qliro has approximately SEK 247 million in available capital over and above the total capital requirement.
In addition to equity, lending to the public was funded by SEK 2,218 million (2,375 as of March 31, 2021) in deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden and Germany and SEK 190 million (129 as of March 31, 2021) through a secured loan facility. 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 well-functioning form of funding given Qliro's lending, which largely consists of small loans of short duration. Qliro offers two
different savings accounts in Sweden: one with a variable interest rate of 0.8 percent as of 31 March, and one account with a 1-year fixed interest rate that at the end of the period was 1.1 percent. Qliro also has a deposit offering in euro for retail customers in Germany in partnership with the open banking platform Deposit Solutions. Deposits in Germany amounted to SEK 403 million at the end of the quarter (437 as of March 31, 2021).
Qliro has solid liquidity and as of March 31 the liquidity portfolio amounted to SEK 339 million (642 as of March 31, 2021). In addition to the liquid investments, Qliro AB had access to SEK 610 million (671 as of March 31, 2021) in back-up liquidity via undrawn funding in a secured committed credit facility. 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 210 days.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as of March 31 was 211 percent, compared with the legal requirement of 100 percent.
In connection with its strategic review, Qliro has decided to end the secured credit facility available today. The credit facility runs until March 31, 2023 and the company does not rule out that other financing options may be included in the future.


Tier 2 funding 100 MSEK
On March 16, the Board of Directors of Qliro AB ("Qliro") decided on a directed new share issue to Patrik Enblad, subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting. Patrik was proposed on March 16 as the new Chairman of the Board of Qliro by the Nomination Committee. Patrik Enblad has subscribed for all the shares that can be issued in accordance with the decision. The issue presupposes that Patrik Enblad is elected Chairman of Qliro's Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting and is conditional on the approval of a management assessment by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
All information on the Nomination Committee's proposal of Patrik Enblad as Chairman of the Board can be found at the following link: www.qliro.com/sv-se/investor-relations
Shareholders in Qliro AB, reg. no. 556962-2441, ("Qliro" or the "Company") are hereby invited to attend the Annual General Meeting on May 17, 2022. Due to Covid-19 and in order to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, the Board of Directors has decided that the general meeting will be held without the physical presence of the shareholders, representatives and third parties, and that shareholders will have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights only through postal voting in advance. Information on the resolutions passed at the general meeting will be disclosed on May 17, 2022, as soon as the outcome of the postal voting has been tallied.

Since the outbreak the majority of Qliro's employees have worked remotely. Since the start of the year the number of employees working in the office has increased again and we have now returned to a normal working arrangement but with a hybrid model, where our employees, depending on their role and personal preference, combine remote work with being in the office.
In 2020 the provisions for credit losses increased according to IFRS 9 due to the assumption that future economic activity would decline. These provisions were reversed in the third quarter 2021, since economic conditions have improved and Qliro has not seen a widespread decline in the solvency of consumers due to Covid-19.
The deteriorating macroeconomic outlook in 2020 also reduced the countercyclical buffer requirement in the Nordic countries in 2020. In the third quarter 2021 the Swedish FSA decided to raise the countercyclical buffer rate to 1 percent (0). The new rate applies as of September 29, 2022.

Transactions with related parties are of the same character as described in the annual report for 2021, which was published on April 8, 2022.
Qliro's operations entail daily risks that are measured, controlled and when needed 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 2021, which was published on April 8, 2022, and Qliro's prospectus, dated September 28, 2020, which was released before Qliro's shares were listed 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 made by the Patent and Market Court prohibiting Svea Ekonomi AB from charging certain late fees on consumer loans. Svea Ekonomi AB has appealed the verdict. If the ruling gains legal force, it could affect the industry as a whole and have a negative effect on Qliro's future revenues.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) is based on quoted market prices on the closing day. The quoted market price used for Qliro's financial assets is the official bid rate. A disclosure of the fair value of items measured at fair value can be found below. The levels in the disclosure according to the fair value hierarchy below are defined as follows:
• Quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
• Observable data for assets or liabilities other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly (i.e., through price quotes) or indirectly (i.e., extrapolated from price quotes) (Level 2)
• Input data for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data, i.e., non-observable input data (Level 3)
