Consumer loans

Weighted average term of loans

Consumer net loan portfolio

Average loan*

Non-performing loan ratio

The consumer lending portfolio continued increasing, as did the average loan amount and term. At the end of Q3 2024, the net loan portfolio reached 98.8 million euros.

Due to stable demand and increasing ticket and term size, the consumer loan portfolio grew by 29% over a 12-month period.

Non-performing loan (NPL) ratio (loans late 90+ days) remains solid and is below company's internally set target of 7%.

The main reason for a slight increase in the NPL ratio in Q3 is that, due to technical reasons, the quarterly cession transaction did not occur in Q3, and the transferable loans remained on the company's balance sheet. These loans will be sold in the first half of November, after which the ratio will return to the previous level.

issued

Age analysis of consumer lending portfolio*

  • Consumer loan portfolio quality remains stable with current loans of more than 86%.
  • Focus on lower-risk lending clients to reduce portfolio expenses and sustain high-level portfolio quality.
  • A slight increase of loans outstanding 90+ days is that, due to technical reasons, the quarterly cession transaction did not occur in Q3, and the transferable loans remained on the company's balance sheet. These loans will be sold in the first half of November, after which the late loan impact will decrease.

Pawn loans

Pawn net loan portfolio*

Average pawn loan amount

  • The pawn lending segment continues to show stable results. The pawn loan portfolio has increased 17% in the last nine months.
  • Pawn loan issuance increased 9% in 9M period, and 6% in Q3 compared to corresponding periods last year.
  • The average pawn loan amount has grown over the last year as inflation has pushed prices for items and jewelry.

* Active portfolio excluding portfolio part where collateral is available for sale. ** Pawn loans repaid or extended within 2 months since issuance.

Retail of pre-owned goods*

Sale of pre-owned goods

Online store sales

  • Stable and consistent growth has been achieved in the retail segment by promoting the circular economy principles in Latvia and Lithuania.
  • Retail sales of pre-owned goods in Q3 2024 reached historically highest quarterly amount, reaching EUR 4.5 million, a 15% increase to last year's respective period.
  • Online store sales gradually increasing after design and UX updates.

* Including directly purchased goods from clients and unredeemed items from pawnshop. Excluding wholesale of precious metals (scrap).

Sales split by product category

* Credit loss expenses have increased faster due to the cancellation of the quarterly cession deal in Q3, which will be done in Q4 2024. Also, the loan portfolio has grown significantly over the last year, resulting in increased provisions.

** Increase of tax due to approved changes in corporate income tax law at the end of 2023. As a result, tax is calculated from full profit amount whereas in Q3 2023 tax was calculated only from the approved dividends.
