Third quarter 2025 Report

6 November 2025

2 B2 Impact –

Key figures Q3 2025 (NOKm)

CEO comment

' q for unsecured portfolios, we have increased our overperformance and grown our unsecured collections by 14% in the third quarter. This consistent trend of improving overperformance demonstrates significant upside in our estimated remaining collections (ERC). The strong cash flow in the quarter is supported by collection overperformance for both secured and unsecured combined with the previously announced increase in REO sales. With earnings per share of NOK 0.57 in the third quarter and NOK 1.49 year to date we are on track to deliver a dividend of at least NOK 1.7 per share for 2025.

Portfolio investments in the third quarter were up almost 50% versus the same quarter last year. With high investment activity going into the fourth quarter, and with committed investments year to date of NOK 3 billion, we are well positioned to reach our investment target for the full year.

We further improved our capital structure and financial flexibility with the EUR 100m bond issue in September with a margin of 3.25% over 3m EURIBOR. This is the lowest margin obtained by B2 Impact in a primary issue so far, and the transaction was significantly oversubscribed. We recently received a positive outlook for a rating upgrade from S&P confirming the strong development in B2 Impact in recent years.

As we enter the fourth quarter, we are on track to deliver on our updated financial targets for 2025 and an increased dividend to be paid to our shareholders. We have laid a solid foundation for further financial improvements in 2026 during this year, and we look forward to sharing financial targets for 2026 in the fourth quarter.

Trond Kristian Andreassen CEO of B2 Impact ASA

Collection performance and revenues

Unsecured collection performance

Unsecured collections continued the strong trend in the third quarter. Collection performance versus latest forecast was 108% slightly higher than same quarter last year. Collections were up 14% compared with last year.

Cash from unsecured JVs was NOK 29m in the third quarter.

Secured collection performance

Secured collections ended at NOK 152m, down 12% compared with last year. Due to limited new investments in secured portfolios the decrease in secured collections is as expected. Comparable cash collections from secured were up 145% compared with same quarter last year due to strong REO sales.

REO sales were NOK 468m in the quarter with a gain over book value of 10%. The modest gain over book value compared to previous periods is due to the legal complexity of one large REO position sold. Repossessing the asset allowed us to solve the case significantly earlier than we would as an NPL claim.

Other cash revenues

Other cash revenues of NOK 140m were up 12% compared with the same quarter last year due to increased third party collection revenues.

Operating efficiency

Operating expenses (opex)

Total opex in the quarter were up 9% compared with the same quarter last year. The increase is mainly driven by higher external expenses due to higher activity and acquisition of platform in Norway.

External expenses were up 12% 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 and activity level. External expenses as a % of collection has remained stable.

Cost efficiency and initiatives

The Group has a continuous strong focus on efficiency improvements through use of technology. As an example, our continuous efforts in promoting our self-service portals and new payment solutions are leading to an increased share of our payments through self-service channels. Other automation initiatives, such as robot phone calls, are further contributing to efficiency improvements with less human intervention. The average payments have also grown with more than 10% in both amicable and legal collection compared with the same quarter last year.

The Group will accelerate its coordinated efforts in deployment of technology to further improve efficiency and scalability 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.

Reported revenues and EBIT

Revenues

Comparable revenues were up 13% compared with Q3 2024. Revenues from NPLs were up 13% due to an increase in unsecured ERC and strong unsecured collections. The increase in Other revenues compared with Q3 last year is a result of increased revenues from third party collection.

Revaluation in Q3 was NOK 28m. This includes a positive revaluation on unsecured portfolios of NOK 47m reflecting increased ERC related to consistent overperformance. Revaluation on secured portfolios was NOK -19m. This was mainly 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 33% compared with the same quarter last year mainly driven by higher collections from unsecured.

All figures in NOK million unless otherwise stated

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.
