Fourth quarter 2025 Report

2 B2 Impact –
Key figures Q4 2025 (NOKm)
CEO comment
' q , y w reached our financial targets with a comfortable margin. I am very pleased that we continue to deliver on our commitments, and the proposed dividend of NOK 1.9 per share.
Portfolio investments in the fourth quarter were up 45% versus the same quarter last year and we ended the year with portfolio investments of NOK 3.7bn well within the target range. We have managed to reinvest the strong cash flow generated from REO sales in 2025, supporting further EPS growth in the coming years. We see an attractive market for portfolio investments with accretive returns, and year to date we have invested and committed NOK 1.2bn for 2026.
In January this year we placed a tap issue of EUR 200m in our bond maturing in 2031 in combination with a buy back of EUR 150m in our bond with maturity in 2029. With this we reduce the interest margin going forward, increase flexibility and extended our maturity profile. The tap issue was placed at a further improved margin of 3.22% and the transaction was significantly oversubscribed.
Going forward, automation will be in focus throughout the organisation. Despite a significant increase in investment activity in 2025 we have managed to maintain a stable cost level which clearly shows the scalability in our business model. I strongly believe there is more to come. For 2026-2028 our target is to grow earnings per share and dividends by at least 30% during the period, and at the same time maintain our leverage ratio below 2.5x.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all our employees for their dedicated and hard work and to all our stakeholders for their continued support. We are very well positioned for another successful year.
Trond Kristian Andreassen CEO of B2 Impact ASA

Operational efficiency
Operating expenses (opex)
Total underlying opex in the quarter were down 4% compared with the same quarter last year. For the full year, the opex adjusted for NRIs were flat despite inflation and a significant increase in collections and ERC which underpins the scalability in our business.
Cost efficiency and initiatives
The Group maintains a strong, ongoing focus on improving efficiency through technology. For example, our continued promotion of self-service portals and payment solutions is increasing the proportion of payments made via self-service channels by approximately 19% year over year.
Additional automation initiatives, such as automated phone calls, are also enhancing efficiency by reducing the need for human involvement. The use of voice bots together with automation of written communication are planned to accelerate in 2026 and onwards.
A strategic priority of the Group is to step up its coordinated technology deployment to further strengthen efficiency and scalability. Across our markets, automation of both collection activities and support functions is becoming more sophisticated, supported by a broad range of technologies from robotic process automation to AI-based tools.

Reported revenues and EBIT
Revenues
Comparable revenues were up 7% compared with Q4 2024. Revenues from NPLs were up 10% due to an increase in unsecured ERC and strong unsecured collections.
Revaluation in Q4 was NOK -79m. This includes a negative revaluation on unsecured portfolios of NOK 70m of which NOK 64m relates to a put back with neutral effect on revenues. Revaluation on secured portfolios was NOK -9m. This was driven by overperformance and early collections. Although reported as a revaluation in accounting terms, this is effectively an amortisation due to claims collected earlier than expected and consequently, removed from future ERC.
EBIT
Reported EBIT was up by 78% compared with the same quarter last year mainly driven by higher collections from unsecured and lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBIT on a comparable basis was up with 16% in Q4 compared with same 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.
