In the first three months of 2023, the Latvian financial services group AS DelfinGroup reached 11.1 million euros in revenue, which is 46% more compared to the corresponding period of 2022. The Group showed stable EBITDA growth, which increased by 53% and reached 3.9 million euros. In the first quarter of 2023, DelfinGroup continued to deliver increasing profitability, with profit before taxes running EUR 1.8 million, which is a 16% increase compared to the first quarter of last year, while the Group's net profit increased by 16%, reaching EUR 1.6 million.
In the 1st quarter of 2023, demand for DelfinGroup consumer and pawn loans remained stable, resulting in record quarterly loan issuance figures. In the first three months of 2023, the Group issued new loans for 24 million euros, 59% more than in the corresponding period of the previous year. Among them, consumer loans were issued in the amount of 18.3 million euros, or 59% more than in the corresponding period of last year. Meanwhile, in the pawn lending segment, issuance has increased by 58%, reaching 5.7 million euros. As a result of the successful issuance of loans, the Group's net loan portfolio has reached the historically highest level – 73.5 million euros.
According to the Group's strategy, one of the main goals is promoting the circular economy, which is supported by the trade of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods, which extends the life cycle of items and reduces CO2 emissions during the production of new goods. In this segment as well, DelfinGroup continued its stable development, increasing both the number of sold goods that have been given a second life and the revenues of the segment. In the first quarter of 2023, the Group sold pre-owned and new goods for 3.3 million euros, which is a 43% increase compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Based on the current economic situation, business results, and development trends, DelfinGroup clarified the goals for 2023 and 2024 and set forecasts for 2025. It is planned that the net loan portfolio of the Group will reach 100 million euros in 2025. Also, by the end of 2025, it is planned to reach an EBITDA of 26 million euros and to double the profit before taxes to 15 million euros. According to DelfinGroup dividend policy, the company will continue to maintain an equity ratio of at least 20% to total assets, which is a prerequisite for a well-balanced capital structure. In addition, as before, the company plans to make quarterly dividend payments to shareholders of up to 50% of the net profit.
On 29 March 2023, an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of the Company took place, where the AS DelfinGroup unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2022 were approved. Also, the payment of dividends from the 4th quarter of 2022 profit of 838 thousand euros was approved in the amount of 0.0185 euros per share. The quarterly dividend payment to shareholders took place on 17 April 2023.
As part of DelfinGroup long-term motivation program, a staff option program was launched to promote the employees' sense of belonging to the company. 450 thousand company shares will be issued as part of the program. All employees of the Group who have worked in the Group for at least 12 months can participate in the staff option program, which will allow employees to earn along with the company's development in addition to their salary.
In the 1st quarter of 2023, DelfinGroup signed an agreement with BA School of Business and Finance (BASBF) and Riga Technical University (RTU) on cooperation in the fields of studies and research. As a result, the fintech company and these higher education institutions have arranged to work together as part of the Financial Management Information Systems joint vocational bachelor study programme taught by BASBF and RTU. In close cooperation with industry professionals, the study programme prepares financial system software developers. It thus provides the financial and fintech industries with the highly skilled specialists that the job market demands. The agreement aims to create broader opportunities for cooperation in scientific, academic, and administrative work for DelfinGroup employees and the students and teaching staff of the Financial Management Information Systems vocational bachelor study programme. Furthermore, it will result in the students gaining the ability to consolidate their knowledge in practice and get advice from industry professionals throughout their studies.

As at 31 December 2022, the Group had 92 branches in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2022 - 91 branches in 38 cities).
The Group is not exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the basic transaction currency is the Euro. Majority of the funding of the Group consists of fixed coupon rate borrowings, so that the Group is not exposed to variable interest rate risk. Accurate application of the prudent strategies chosen has allowed the Group to successfully manage its financial risks, particularly the liquidity and credit risk. All Group transactions are performed in Latvia, the Group has no counterparties in Russia and Belarus thus the impact of the war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions has insignificant effect on the company's operations.
The Company's board recommends the distribution of Q1 2023 profit as dividends in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, which sets the target of up to 50% quarterly dividend pay out.
