CEO comment

B2 Impact delivered strong results in the second quarter of 2025, supported by continued collection overperformance and solid cash flow. Our operational results reflects the scalability of our debt servicing platform. With earnings per share of NOK 0.55 in the second quarter and NOK 0.91 for the first half year we are on track to outperform our target of NOK 1.5 per share for 2025.

We have seen high investment activity and a favourable market environment in first half of 2025. We also further improved our capital structure and financial flexibility with the EUR 200m bond issue at attractive terms in the first quarter. Year-to-date, we have invested and committed around NOK 2.1 billion, tracking well ahead of our full year target of at least NOK 3 billion.

As communicated in connection with our Q1 release we see considerable upside in our ERC (Estimated Remaining Collections), supported by sustainably higher collection performance and extended collection curves in our vintage portfolios. This positions us well for future earnings visibility and supports the long-term value of our portfolios.

In early 2025 we initiated a plan to accelerate REO sales which will significantly increase our cash flow for 2025 and 2026. Per end of Q2 we have sold REOs for NOK 155m and expect REO sales of NOK 600 - 800m for the full year, which supports additional portfolio investments and growth in earnings the next years.

As we enter the second half of the year, B2 Impact is well-positioned to accelerate value creation. We consequently increase our financial targets for 2025 with an investment target of NOK 3.5 - 4 billion and dividends of NOK 1.5 - 1.7 per share.

Collection performance and revenues

Unsecured collection performance

Unsecured collections continued the strong trend in the second quarter. Collection performance versus latest forecast was 112 % compared with 111 % in the same quarter last year. Comparable cash collections were up 10 % compared with last year.

Cash from unsecured JVs was NOK 9m in the second quarter.

Secured collection performance

Secured collections ended at NOK 113m, down 45 % compared to last year. Due to no new investments in secured portfolios the decrease in secured collections is as expected partly offset by higher REO sales and increase in Cash from JVs. Comparable cash collections were down 7 % compared with same quarter last year. Cash collections were up 30 % compared with the previous quarter.

REO sales were NOK 102m in the quarter with a gain over book value of 34 %.

Other cash revenues

Other cash revenues of NOK 125m were down 71 % compared with the same quarter last year. The reduction is mainly a result of the sale of the loan receivables business in Poland in the second quarter last year which had a cash effect of NOK 296m. The 3PC revenues increased with 16 % year-over-year to NOK 91m.

Operating efficiency

Operating expenses (opex)

Total opex in the quarter were down 3 % compared with the same quarter last year. The decrease is mainly driven by lower legal collection costs in external expenses.

External expenses were down 11 % compared to the same quarter last year. External expenses are mainly driven by legal collection activities which will vary from quarter to quarter due to timing.

The underlying Opex/Cash revenue ratio is trending down, adjusted for the collection of a large secured claim in Q4 2023 and the sale of the loan receivables business in Poland in Q2 2024.

Cost efficiency and initiatives

We see that digitalisation through use of AI, automation tools and self-service portals contributes to increased efficiency and improved scalability. In the second quarter we have seen a continued trend of increased collections through online services compared with same quarter last year. The average payments has also increased in both amicable and legal collection compared with the same quarter last year growing visibly above the inflation rates.

The Group will continue to focus on increased efficiency and scalability and see further room for improvement by use of technology going forward. Our markets are increasingly advanced in automating both collection activities and support functions, using a wide range of available technologies from power apps to AI tools.

Revenues

Comparable revenues were down 10 % compared with Q2 2024. Revenues from NPLs were up 12 % due to an increase in unsecured ERC and strong unsecured collections. The decrease in Other revenues compared with Q2 last year is mainly a result of the sale of the loan receivables business in Poland in the second quarter last year.

Net credit gain/loss from purchased portfolios

The Group purchases materially impaired loan portfolios at significant discounts and as such impairments are already included at purchase. The expected credit loss for the purchased loan portfolios is not explicitly recognised as a loss provision since these financial assets are credit impaired by definition and the estimated loss is already part of the amortised cost. The Group's exposure to credit risk from the purchased loan portfolios is related to actual collections deviating from collection estimates, as well as from changes in future collection estimates. The Group regularly evaluates the current collection estimates on single portfolios and the estimate is adjusted if collections are determined to deviate from current estimate over time. The adjusted collection estimate is discounted by the initial rate of return at acquisition of the portfolio. Changes from current estimate adjust the book value of the portfolio and are included in the income statement in the line item "Net credit gain/(loss) from purchased loan portfolios". The portfolios are evaluated quarterly. Collections above collection estimates and upward adjustments of future collections estimates increase revenue. Collections below collection estimates and downward adjustments of future collection estimates decrease revenue.
