Interim Report January-September 2024

Shift to growth – increased momentum +35% contracted annual volume growth

According to plan, we are now focusing on growth over short-term profitability to take advantage of the new opportunities that have arisen after a competitor has divested its checkout. At the time of publication of this report we have secured agreements corresponding to approximately 35% volume growth, which are expected to drive equivalent income growth in the medium term. We realized 19% growth in total payment volume as early as October this year. The launch in Norway exceeded expectations by over NOK 300 million in agreed volumes within three months, and in January we are opening a new sales office in Finland. Our momentum has accelerated through product launches such as Checkout 0.0, which sets a new standard for conversion and which has been well received by merchants. Our ambition is to become the market leader in the Nordics." "

CEO comment

Shift to growth – increased momentum +35% contracted annual volume growth

According to plan, we are now focusing on growth over short-term profitability to take advantage of the new opportunities that have arisen after a competitor has divested its checkout. At the time of publication of this report we have secured agreements corresponding to approximately 35% volume growth, which are expected to drive equivalent income growth in the medium term. We realized 19% growth in total payment volume as early as October this year. The launch in Norway exceeded expectations by over NOK 300 million in agreed volumes within three months, and in January we are opening a new sales office in Finland. Our momentum has accelerated through product launches such as Checkout 0.0, which sets a new standard for conversion and which has been well received by merchants. Our ambition is to become the market leader in the Nordics.

In the third quarter, we had the pleasure of welcoming a large number of new merchants to Qliro, and we passed the milestone of 200 connected merchants for the first time (+175%). Total payment volume in the quarter increased by 6% to SEK 2.9 billion (2.8). We saw a clear trend break with gradually increasing volumes from September onwards, and returned volume growth of 19% in October. In addition, we gained a further 16% in contracted volumes from merchants yet to be onboarded, which brings us to to expected volume growth of 35% expected to be realized by Q2 2025 at the latest.

Financial performance

Qliro's operating income from remaining operations (after the divestment of Digital Banking Services which was completed in the quarter), increased by 2% to SEK 96.1 million (94.0) in the quarter. Growth was affected by lower reminder fees in the period following improvements to the customer journey, which in the long run should be viewed as positive both from the perspective of the consumer and for long-term credit losses. At the same time, lower base rates temporarily put net interest income under pressure in the period before borrowing costs are adjusted downwards. Lower volumes with individual enterprise merchants and relatively weak consumer purchasing power also temporarily slowed growth. Despite these challenges operating income increased in the quarter.

The geographical expansion and expanded growth initiatives have led to a planned increase in the cost base of approximately SEK 6 million in the quarter. These investments are critical for increasing the company's addressable market and capitalizing on short-term growth opportunities following increased market activity.

Credit losses as a proportion of total payment volume remained high in the quarter, primarily due to continuing changes to the customer and product mix. Increased lending to the public also drive higher provisions for the quarter. We continue to monitor progress carefully and have introduced several mitigating measures. In addition, we plan to introduce new

credit assessment models in Sweden and Norway in the fourth quarter 2024, which have been developed int the period since the appointment of the company's new credit risk manager last spring.

Adjusted operating profit was SEK -12.0 million (-4.5). Profit/ loss for the period from remaining operations was SEK -7.1 MSEK (0.7). Items affecting comparability for the quarter of SEK 5.6 million in the remaining operations were mainly derived from severance pay associated with general rationalization measures implemented during the winding down of Digital Banking Services.

Successful launch in Norway

So far, the launch in Norway has exceeded our expectations, in just three months we have won agreements corresponding to NOK 300 million in annual total payment volume, and the pipeline has been strengthened with both SME and Enterprise merchants. We now have four full-time employees on location under the management of our new Country Manager Jens Koldenhof Rygg who has solid sector experience from two of our closest competitors.

Qliro's offering on the Norwegian market has broadened significantly as a result of the launch of Qliro Checkout 0.0 which demonstrated a conversion increase of over +10% locally in A/B tests with competitors. In addition, the local consumer experience will soon be improved by the launch of the option to pay invoices and installments in Qliro's app, corresponding to the customer experience introduced in Sweden.

Launch in Finland

In the quarter, we decided to open a sales office in Helsinki to attract local Finnish merchants. With approximately 7% of existing volumes on this market, the establishment in Finland will, just like in Norway, be the natural next step in our Nordic expansion. The initiative provides us with the opportunity to further expand our addressable market and capitalize on our investments in the new checkout and the existing Pay Later

CEO comment cont.

offering in Finland. The strong start in Norway, where we success—fully capitalized on temporary market dynamics, mean that we are optimistic about a rapid establishment in Finland too. A Country Manager has been recruited, starting in January 2025.

SEK 100 million in capital raisings strengthens financial position

In order to finance the start of the Nordic expansion, we strengthened our financial position through a directed new issue, where significant interest from existing and new investors led the Board to increase the new issue from SEK 40 to 50 million. Almost all of our ten largest investors participated in the new issue, demonstrating strong support for our growth strategy.

In addition, we redeemed our T2 bond, and issued an AT1 bond of SEK 55 million after the end of the period. The rationale for this is that AT1 bonds offer increased flexibility and counts as higher quality capital according to current capital adequacy requirements.

Stronger pipeline of new merchants

In the quarter, we increased our momentum in both SME and Enterprise by expanding our sales and marketing capacity in Sweden.

Total payment volume growth, August – October 2024

CEO comment cont.

Our pipeline and a number of ongoing talks with potential new merchants is also larger than ever as a result of our clear differentiation from local competitors after the launch of new products focused on conversion and an improved customer experience.

At the same time, we face the challenge of quickly bringing large merchants live on the platform, as these integrations are often more complex than for SMEs. In the collaboration with the merchants Skruvat Reservdelar and Bythjul Norden, Bythjul – corresponding to approximately 40% of volumes in the agreement worth a total of SEK 1 billion – was onboarded according to plan, while Skruvat Reservdelar is waiting until the after the tire-changing season, the merchant is now expected to go live on all markets by Q1 2025 at the latest.

New product launches to ensure increased loyalty

In the quarter we introduced Qliro Checkout 0.0 – a completely new checkout optimized for conversion at checkout which has been A/B tested with a number of Nordic competitors by the company's new merchants. With its focus on modular and flexible integration with partners, the new checkout has already generated clear improvements in conversion rates for existing and new merchants, which increases our competitiveness.

In addition, after the end of the quarter we launched Qliro Instore at Qliros own E-com Summit event in Gothenburg, with 200+ local merchants and partners present. Qliro Instore is our new instore solution, where consumers can pay easily with Qliro Pay Later by scanning a QR code in store. The launch strengthens our offering further and means that Qliro is well positioned in relation to merchants selling both online and in a physical environment. In the longer term, an attractive omnioffering will be critical to achieving significant volume growth by expanding our addressable market.

At the NXT e-commerce summit in Oslo we also launched Qliro Loyalty Driver in our consumer app – a unique function that helps our merchants drive consumers back to the original merchant after a purchase. By integrating campaigns and offerings directly in the payment flow, Qliro Loyalty Driver promotes repeat purchasing behavior without exposing consumers to advertising and offerings from the merchant's competitors, in sharp contrast to competing solutions to Qliro.

Scalable platform and gradual income growth

Our focus on a scalable technology platform means that we expect fixed operational expenses to increase only by approximately 30% in the event of a 100% increase in total payment volumes on the platform. Therefore, we are now abandoning our short-term profitability target to instead intensify our investments in sales and marketing and expand into new countries. Our focus lies on attracting more merchants and thus increasing total payment volumes. The improved platform creates a stable foundation for long-term profitability and sustainable growth but will also require equivalent ongoing investments in technology to complete the modernization and cloud journey we have started, but also to generate future cost savings and ultimately launch the complete product offering on new national markets outside the Nordic region.

Progress in the quarter was partly due to the fact that income from new agreements is generated gradually and does not feed through fully until after three years, as our installment options span a period of up to 36 months. For example, the revenue from a 36-month installment plan begins to be generated only in the month following the purchase and continues throughout the entire repayment period. This distributes income over time and generates a natural delay in income growth as a proportion of total payment volume growth.

Outlook

In the third quarter, we took some important steps in our accelerated growth plan. Despite a certain delay in income, our long-term growth prospects have improved. Given October's volume growth and agreed volumes yet to be onboarded, we aim for over 35% payment volume growth by Q2 2025. As previously communicated in the Q2 report and in connection with capital raisings totaling over SEK 100 million, we are now prioritizing growth over short-term profitability in order to capitalize on new opportunities after a competitor divested its checkout.

The product development initiatives have led to a temporary reduction in income due to lower reminder fees, but we are convinced that this will strengthen the company in the long term, as well as improve the customer experience and reduce credit losses. With a growing merchant base, strong pipeline and new establishments in Norway and Finland, we are well-positioned for high, sustainable and profitable growth. Ahead of peak season in e-commerce, we are prioritizing delivering high performance and availability for our merchants.

To conclude, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our merchants, consumers, employees and collaboration partners, who all contribute to Qliro's launches of new product improvements and growing commercial momentum. The future is Qliro. Qliro is the future.

Stockholm, Sweden, November 15, 2024 Christoffer Rutgersson, CEO, Qliro

About Qliro - Scalable platform and business model with high growth potential

Qliro is a leading fintech company in the growth phase that delivers payment solutions for Enterprise and SME merchants and their customers, mainly in e-commerce. The offering includes a complete checkout with all relevant payment options for direct payments (Pay Now) and the proprietary payment methods invoicing and installments (Pay Later) in the Nordics. Qliro is a credit market company under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), with its registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. The company's shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker "Qliro".

Oliro's business model and scalable platform

The following represents a simplified illustration of Qliro's business model, designed to drive long-term and sustainable value growth. Qliro targets both Enterprise and SME merchants, where the decision-making process ahead of upgrading to Qliro is significantly shorter for SME merchants compared to Enterprise merchants. For Enterprise merchants, agreement terms usually span 24–36 months, which extends the process. Once an agreement has been signed, it can take up to 12 months before the merchant has fully integrated Qliro's solution, especially for Enterprise merchants with complex operations encompassing several websites and markets. This is due to the technical onboarding process and individual merchant considerations, such as opting for a gradual roll-out, waiting to implement new solutions until after the end of high season, or coordinating the upgrade with a change of e-commerce platform, which is often a time-consuming project.

When a merchant has completed the onboarding process, income is generated immediately through Pay Now transactions, while Pay Later volumes are cumulative over time in a loan portfolio (lending to the public). This generates stable revenue streams from interest income and fees levied on installments. Income from new merchant agreements is realized gradually, with approximately 50-60% of potential income recognized in the first year, reaching full effect within three years (corresponding to the longest installment period of 36 months). This growth in total payment volumes is highly likely to generate increased income in the coming 3-year period.

New merchant agreements are also associated with initial costs, such as provisions for future credit losses, which can lead

to a slight delay in income. Qliro's operations are based on an existing technical and operational platform with a high share of fixed costs, which makes it scalable. This means that given volume growth of, say, +100%, and the associated increase in operating income after credit losses over time, operating costs would only increase by approximately 30%, which has a significant positive impact on profit.

Divestment of private loan portfolio completed

Since 2022, Qliro has undergone an extensive transformation commercially, organizationally, technically and financially. In August 2024, Qliro completed the divestment of its personal loans portfolio for a purchase consideration of SEK 679 million according to plan. The transaction was completed with the aim of streamlining operations and speeding up the expansion of the remaining operations in payment solutions.

Oliro is a small operator on a fast-growing market

The Nordic and European e-commerce market still comprises a relatively limited proportion of the total retail market, although the share has grown steadily. This means that the growth rate in e-commerce remains significantly higher than for physical stores. Qliro has a market share of <5%, which means that the addressable market offers positive potential for strong and long-term growth.

Merchants' demands on payment solutions change over time

Qliro is focusing on delivering next-generation payment solutions under the concept of "Composable Payments for Growth" to meet modern e-merchants' need for flexible, modular, and high-performing solutions. Over the past 2–3 years, we have seen a clear shift, with merchants demanding end-to-end solutions that boost conversion, strengthen customer loyalty, and maximize customer lifetime value. Qliro's solution provides merchants with full control over the customer experience throughout the payment flow, including the post-purchase experience, and easily integrates with other solutions in a modern merchant's tech stack. By offering a high-performing, modular payment solution that directs consumers back to the merchants they originally engaged with, Qliro is meeting the needs of today's e-merchants and setting the standard for the future of payment solutions.

Product launches

In the quarter, Qliro strengthened its offering through the launch of new solutions such as Qliro Checkout 0.0, Qliro Instore and Qliro Loyalty Driver. The products have been developed to optimize conversion, increase customer loyalty and create a smooth shopping experience both online and in physical stores. With flexible and scalable solutions, Qliro meets the increasing needs from e-merchants and helps them to deliver a first-class customer journey.

Qliro Checkout 0.0

Qliro Checkout 0.0 is an entirely new checkout solution that maximizes conversion and delivers a first-class customer experience. With its focus on flexibility and personalization, the checkout has already demonstrated significant improvements in conversion rates with merchants where it has been introduced. Qliro Checkout 0.0 is also fully scalable and adaptable, which makes it ideal for both small and large e-merchants that need a solution that can grow alongside operations.

Qliro Instore

Qliro Instore expands the functionality of Qliro Checkout 0.0 to include physical stores and offers consumers the same flexibility that is available online, including Pay Later options. With a simple QR code, customers can quickly complete transactions in-store and choose payment methods they recognize from e-commerce. This solution creates a seamless payment experience between digital and physical stores and helps merchants offer an improved customer experience regardless of where a purchase takes place.

Qliro Loyalty Driver

Qliro Loyalty Driver is a function that increases customer loyalty through an improved after-sales experience. Merchants can easily integrate offerings immediately after a purchase, directing customers back to the original merchant and increasing the likelihood of repeat purchases. By presenting personal offers at the payment stage, Qliro Loyalty Driver strengthens customer relationships and increases customer retention, which contributes to merchants' competitiveness and long-term loyalty.

3) When preparing the Annual Report, it was noted that volumes of lending to the public had been incorrectly allocated between two segments since Q2 2023. This related to a total amount of SEK 13.5 million. As the change only represents an adjustment between segments, the amount has been adjusted in the Annual Report but no correction has been made to previously published quarterly reports as the difference is not material and only affects KPIs in the segments marginally.

Financial performance

The third quarter 2024 compared with the third quarter 2023

Increased total payment volume and number of merchants

At the end of the third quarter, the number of connected e-merchants on Qliro's platform was 201 (73), an increase of 175% year-on-year. Total payment volume increased to SEK 2.9 billion, and increase corresponding to 6% year-on-year. Signed, not yet onboarded total payment volume is expected to further increase overall total payment volume by approximately 16%. The loan portfolio from remaining operations increased by 4% to SEK 1,745 million (1,677) in the quarter.

Strong financial position and flexibility

In order to finance the company's growth and geographical expansion, Qliro completed a directed new issue of SEK 50 million aimed at existing and new investors in the quarter. After the end of the quarter, Qliro further strengthened the company's financial position by issuing a primary capital instrument (Additional Tier 1) of SEK 55 million, after having redeemed all outstanding supplementary capital instruments (T2) prematurely.

Operating income

Total operating income increased by 2% to SEK 96.1 million (94.0). The increase was driven by growing interest in Qliro's payment products and increased lending to the public.

Net interest income decreased by 3% to SEK 49.9 million (51.2), influenced by changes in the base rate which reduced interest income from merchants, while interest expenses did not adjust at the same pace. The effect is expected to recede once the base rate stabilizes.

Net commission income increased by 10% to SEK 46.6 million (42.3), primarily driven by growing interest in the complete offering Unified Payments, which collates payment methods, payment flows and reduces merchant administration, as well as by higher invoicing fees, although these were to some extent offset by lower reminder fees due to product improvements.

Net gains and losses on financial transactions amounted to SEK -0.5 million (–0.1).

Operating expenses

Adjusted operating expenses amounted to SEK -80.8 million (-76.2) as a result of intensified growth initiatives and ongoing geographical expansion, which generated increased costs of SEK 6.4 million. Excluding growth initiatives, costs decreased by SEK 1.8 million despite current inflation levels. Unadjusted operating expenses amounted to SEK -86.4 million (-78.5).

General administrative expenses, primarily comprising personnel costs and consultancy and IT expenses, increased to SEK -61.3 million (–57.5), mainly due to items affecting comparability. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, general administrative expenses amounted to SEK -55.7 million (-55.3)

Other operating expenses increased to SEK –7.2 million (–4.2), primarily due to increased marketing costs.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment increased by 7% to SEK -17.9 million (-16.8) and primarily related to amortization of previously capitalized development expenses for e-merchant payment solutions, as well as consumer products, website and app solutions where the increase mainly was due to investments in product development in recent years.

Credit losses

Credit losses amounted to SEK -27.2 million (-22.2). In relation to payment volume, credit losses amounted to 0.9% (0.8) and in relation to Pay Later volume, credit losses amounted to 2.2% (1.6). The increase was due to a changed customer and product mix, increased lending to the public in products with a longer duration, provision adjustments with a positive impact in the previous year, and changes in the reminder chain that had a short-term negative impact on provisions, but are expected to have a positive effect in future.

Profit/loss for the period

Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK -12.0 million (-4.5) driven by intensified growth initiatives and ongoing geographical expansion, continued rationalizations and cost control. Operating profit totaled SEK -17.6 million (-6.7)

Profit/loss for the period amounted to SEK -7.1 million (0.7).

Financial performance

The period January–September 2024 compared to the corresponding period 2023

Operating income

Total operating income increased by 7% to SEK 296.6 million (276.0). The increase was driven by increased interest in Qliro's payment products.

Net interest income increased by 2% to SEK 148.8 million (145.7), driven by changes in the base rate that reduce interest income from merchants, while interest expenses do not adjust at the same pace. The effect is expected to recede once the base rate stabilizes.

Net commission income increased by 12% to SEK 147.4 million (131.2), driven by growing interest in the complete offering Unified Payments, which collates different payment methods, payment flows and decreases the merchant's administration and increased invoicing costs, which was partly offset by reduced reminder fees as a result of product improvements.

Net gains and losses on financial transactions amounted to SEK -0.9 million (–1.6).

Operating expenses

Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating expenses amounted to SEK –232.7 million (–232,8) as a result of intensified growth initiatives and ongoing geographical expansion and inflation, offset by continued rationalizations and cost control. Operating expenses amounted to SEK -238.3 million (-235.1). General administrative expenses, primarily comprising personnel costs and consultancy and IT expenses, increased to -171.7 million (–169.6), mainly due to items affecting comparability. Other operating expenses increased to SEK –17.6 million (–15.8), mainly as a result of higher variable operating costs in line with business growth and increased marketing expenses.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment decreased to SEK -49.0 million (-49.6) and primarily related to amortization of previously capitalized development expenses for e-merchant payment solutions, as well as consumer products, website and app solutions.

Credit losses

Net credit losses amounted to SEK –75.5 million (–60.6) due to changes in the customer and product mix, increased lending to the public in products with a longer duration, provision adjustments with a positive impact in the previous year, and changes to the reminder chain with a short-term negative effect on provisions, but which can be expected to have a positive effect in future.

Profit/loss for the period

Operating profit amounted to SEK -17.2 million (-19.6) as a result of increased income in combination with intensified growth initiatives and ongoing geographical expansion, continued rationalizations and cost control, and items affecting comparability. In addition to direct costs for employees and consultants, from the first quarter 2024 the company also includes direct costs for IT systems and rent related to development projects in the calculations of capitalized expenses. This change had a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 5.2 million in the first half-year period. Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability amounted to SEK -11.6 million (-17.4).

Profit/loss for the period decreased to SEK –0.3 million (2.6).

Capital, funding and liquidity

Qliro is well-capitalized

Qliro's capital base (see Note 9 Capital adequacy) decreased to SEK 360 million (428) after redemption of SEK 100 million in supplementary instruments (T2) issued in 2019.

The risk exposure amount (REA) decreased to SEK 1,882 million (2,290) as a result of the divestment of the private loans portfolio in Digital Banking Services.

Qliro is well-capitalized and the total capital ratio was 19.1% (18.7), compared with the regulatory requirement of 13.7%, and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 19.1 percent (14.3), compared with the regulatory requirement of 9.6%.

The leverage ratio was 12.5%.

Diversified funding platform

In addition to equity, lending to the public was funded by SEK 2,536 million (2,687) in deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden and Germany.

Deposits from the public are a flexible and functional form of funding given Qliro's lending, which largely comprises small loans of short duration. Qliro offers savings accounts to consumers in Sweden through its own channels 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 2,294 million (2,314) and deposits in Germany to SEK 243 million (373).

The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 151% as of September 30, 2024.

Qliro has solid liquidity

Qliro has solid liquidity and as of September 30, 2024 Qliro's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 971 million (613).

Cash and cash equivalents are invested with Nordic banks, and the liquidity portfolio is invested in liquid assets such as Swedish municipal bonds and certificates, and Swedish mortgage bonds with a AAA credit rating.

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as of September 30, 2024 was 667%, compared with the legal requirement of 100%.

Other information

Employees

The average number of employees was 217 (190) in the third quarter 2024. The increase was mainly due to recruitment of former consultants and investments in the company's sales organization.

Seasonal effects

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 installments and BNPL campaigns, to some extent, are converted to interest-bearing credits.

Significant risks and uncertainties

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 2023, published on April 19, 2024, 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.

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.

Classification of financial instrument to fair value in the Balance Sheet

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active markets (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. 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)

Note 10. Disclosure of liquidity risks

The disclosure below refers to Qliro AB and includes information in accordance with the Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations regarding management of liquidity risks in credit institutions and investment firms (FFFS 2010:7). The information is disclosed at least four times annually.

Sources of funding

Qliro AB's net lending to the public amounted to SEK 1,780 million (2,459) at the end of the quarter. SEK 2,536 million (2,687) of the lending was financed by deposits from the public (savings accounts) in Sweden and Germany, of which 99 percent are protected by the deposit insurance scheme in Sweden. Deposits from the public were divided into 41.1 percent at variable rate and 58.9 percent fixed interest with an average term of 44 days (initially 3-month fixed, 6-month fixed and 1-year fixed) as of September 30, 2024. 38 percent of deposits from the public are invested in liquid interest-bearing securities and deposits with Nordic banks.

Liquidity

Qliro AB: s total liquidity reserve as of September 30, 2024 amounted to SEK 971 million, consisting of:

  • Liquid investments: SEK 649 million
  • Bank balances with Nordic Banks: SEK 323 million

The liquidity buffer consists of the following high-quality liquid assets:

  • The total investment portfolio comprises liquid investments, of which SEK 638 million is denominated in SEK and SEK 11 million denominated in EUR.
  • All bonds and certificates in the portfolio have a minimum credit rating of AA+ with an average maturity of 773 days at the end of the quarter.

As of September 30, 2024 the liquidity coverage ratio amounted to 667 percent for Qliro AB, to be compared with the regulatory requirement of 100 percent. The liquidity coverage ratio measures a liquidity buffer of SEK 624 million, related to net outflows of SEK 93 million over a thirty-day period under stressed market conditions.

Note 11. Events after the end of the period

On September 19, Qliro's Board decided to complete a directed new issue in two tranches. The proposal was authorized by the Extraordinary General Meeting on October 16, 2024. From October 31, the issue increased the number of shares and votes by 2,148,228 to 21,294,193. The subscription price was set at SEK 23.275 in an accelerated bookbuilding procedure. This raised SEK 50 million before transaction costs for Qliro.

Tranche 1, comprising 1,829,346 new shares, was subscribed for by a number of new investors and existing shareholders, including Rite Ventures. Tranche 2, comprising 318,882 new shares (SEK 7.4 million), was subscribed for by the CEO, Chairman and two other Board members.

On October 22, Qliro issued the primary capital markets instrument (Additional Tier 1) of SEK 55 million with perpetual maturity and first call date on October 22, 2029.

Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures used by management and analysts to evaluate the company's progress, which are not specified or defined in IFRS or other applicable regulations.

Performance measures Definition Purpose
Deposits and borrowing from the public The period's closing balance for deposits and funding from the
public in the Balance Sheet.
The purpose is to monitor the level and growth of the deposit
business, and to track the scope of external funding derived
from deposits from the public.
Adjusted earnings for remaining operations
per share after dilution
Profit/loss from remaining operations adjusted for items
affecting comparability divided by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding in the period after dilution.
The KPI measures earnings per share generated by the
operations adjusted for items affecting comparability.
Items affecting comparability Income and expenses that significantly affect comparability over
time because they do not by nature or size recur with the same
regularity as other items.
The company's management separates out items affecting
comparability in order to explain variations over time. Separation
of the items makes it easier for readers of the financial reports
to understand and evaluate what management is doing when
certain items, subtotals and totals from the Income Statement
are presented or used in other performance measures.
Net credit losses1) The period's expected credit losses on Balance Sheet items as
well as the period's established credit losses, net.
The purpose is to track the scale and trend for credit risks in
lending, and to explicitly do so for the scale of forecast-based
credit losses reducing net income for the period.
Credit losses, % in relation to total payment
volume1)
The period's credit losses, restated as a full-year value, net as a
proportion of total payment volume
The purpose is to provide a measure of credit losses a a
proportion of total payment volume. The measure is critical
to the analysis of credit risk between periods and versus the
competition.
Credit losses, % in relation to processed Pay
Later volume 1)
The period's credit losses, restated as a full-year value, net in
relation to total capitalized volume.
The purpose is to provide a measure of credit losses in relation
to processed Pay Later volumes. The measure is critical to
the analysis of credit risk between periods and versus the
competition.
Net income for the period for remaining
operations adjusted for items affecting
comparability1)
Net income for the period for remaining operations adjusted for
items affecting comparability.
Net income for the period for remaining operations is tracked to
monitor total return, after total expenses and tax. Adjustment
for items affecting comparability improves the opportunity for
evaluation and making comparisons over time.
Net commission income 1) Total commission income less commission expenses. Net commission income is monitored to track the progress of the
core business not attributable to lending and deposits. Largely
reflects the scope and profitability of lending commission and
other payment services.
Net interest income1) Total interest income less interest expenses. Net interest income is monitored to track the progress of the
core business related to lending and deposits.
Operating profit/loss1) Total operating income less administrative expenses,
depreciation, amortization and impairment of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets, other operating expenses and
credit losses, net.
Operating profit is monitored to track the profitability of overall
operations, taking into account credit losses and all other
expenses except tax.
Operating profit/loss adjusted for items
affecting comparability1)
Total operating income less administrative expenses,
depreciation, amortization and impairment, other operating
expenses and credit losses adjusted for items affecting
comparability.
Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability
improves the opportunity for evaluation and making comparisons
over time.
Total operating income1) Total net interest income, net commission income, net profit/loss
on financial transactions, and other operating income.
Total operating income is monitored to track progress of the
core business before employee benefits, depreciation and
amortization, credit losses and other central expenses. The
measure depends primarily on the overall trend in net interest
income and net commission income.
Total expenses before credit losses1) Total operating expenses, representing total administrative
expenses, depreciation, amortization and impairment of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and other
expenses, in the period.
The purpose is to monitor the size of central expenses not
directly related to lending and commissions.
Total expenses before credit losses
adjusted for items affecting comparability1)
Total operating expenses, representing total administrative
expenses, depreciation, amortization and impairment of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets, and other operating
expenses, in the period adjusted for items affecting comparability.
The purpose is to monitor the size of central expenses not
directly related to lending and commissions.
Take-rate remaining operations
(% total operating income1) in relation to
total payment volume)
Total operating income/total payment volume. This metric is used to analyze value creation and profitability in
relation to total volumes processed in Qliro's checkout.
Lending to the public Loans receivable less provision for expected credit losses. Net lending to the public is a central driver of total operating
income.

1) The previous year's figures have been restated to reflect discontinued operations, see Note 1.

Review report

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Qliro AB (publ.) Corp. id. 556962-2441

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Qliro AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2024 and the ninemonth 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.

Scope of 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.

Conclusion

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.
