Report
May 8, 2017
With increasing business volume we start to see the positive effects this will have on the Group's financial performance. The essential features of our organization has been sized to manage considerably larger business volumes than what we currently see, and I expect that further increase in business volumes will continue to have positive effects on our performance.
We made our entry in to the Swedish market in February 2017 when we acquired Profact AB. Through this transaction Axactor has established a solid foundation for further growth within the debt collection and debt purchase market in Sweden. With 35 full time-employees Profact has delivered healthy growth particularly in the Customer Service area over the last few years. Profact has all the necessary permits to own and collect on NPLs in Sweden and this has allowed Axactor to acquire the largest NPL portfolio so far, when we acquired the Bank Norwegian portfolio in Sweden in March this year.
The NPL portfolio we acquired in Spain at the end of December last year for a price of approximately EUR 30 million is perfoming well. An important enabler for the performance is our new core collection system which we went live with in Spain during January. We now have brand new collection systems implemented in 4 of 5 countries in which we operate, with Norway going live during Q2 with its new system. This underlines our commitment to system and work process improvements throughout the Axactor platform and we expect to see considerable efficiency gains from these investments.
We continue to be positive to the NPL sales activities in our main markets, and we expect 2nd and 4th quarter to show the highest level of activity during 2017. The consumer credit growth in the Nordic countries continues, and this, combined with the consolidation efforts we see taking place in the Nordics will represent growth opportunities for Axactor going forward.
«We continue to be positive to the NPL sales activites in our main markets.»
