Gross Book Value
Since the beginning of 2022, the Group has been awarded approx. €7.4 billion of new mandates (partly not yet onboarded as of December 31 st, 2022) of which €3.0 billion in Italy, €3.9 billion in the Hellenic Region and €540 million in Iberia.
The new mandates, together with the €3.8 billion forward flows received in 2022, represent €11.2 billion of new GBV.
In addition, considering the €450 million Project Virgo and the €630 million Project Souq in Greece (secondary NPL disposals out of the Frontier, and Cairo I and Cairo II portfolios respectively, whereby doValue is retaining the servicing mandate) the total GBV secured in 2022 is to €12.3 billion.
Such results are remarkable considering the postponement to 2023 of the Ariadne project (€5.2 billion GBV portfolio in Greece).
As of December 31st, 2022, Gross Book Value stood at €120.5 billion, a decline of 19.4% compared to the level of €149.5 billion at the end of 2021 (or a decline of 5.1% excluding the €20.7 billion Sareb portfolio).
The level of Gross Book Value of €120.5 billion is the result of new GBV onboarded for €13.0 billion, collections for €5.5 billion, write offs for €8.7 billion, disposals from clients for €7.1 billion (mostly compensated by indemnity fees) and the Sareb portfolio off-boarding for €20.7 billion.
As a reminder, as of December 31st , 2022, there were €4.5 billion of new mandates already secured and not yet onboarded.
Income Statement
Collections in 2022 stood at €5.5 billion (a decline of 4.3% compared to the €5.7 billion recorded in 2021, or a growth of 6.3% excluding Sareb). The trajectory of the Collections reflects the decline in GBV, partially mitigated by a mix effect (higher GBV in the Hellenic Region, moving from 21% of total as of December 31 st, 2021, to 31% of total as of December 31st , 2022, which commands a higher Collection Rate vs Group average) as well as the progressive post-COVID recovery of court activities and the relaxation of the Government restrictions on foreclosures.
The Collection Rate is equal to 4.1% for 2022, an increase of 0.1 p.p. vs the level of September 2022. In 2022, the Collection Rate in Italy increased by 0.1 p.p., in the Hellenic Region increased by 0.1 p.p. and in Iberia increased by 2.6 p.p..
In 2022, doValue has recorded Gross Revenues for €558.2 million, a decline of 2.4% compared to the €572.1 million recorded in 2021 (or a growth of 1.5% excluding Sareb).
Servicing Revenues, equal to €510.2 million (€528.6 million in 2021), show a decline of 3.5%, mainly driven by negative performance of Iberia (decline of 29.8%, mainly due to the Sareb portfolio off-boarding) as well as by the slower activity in Italy (decline of 1.1%), partially offset by a strong performance in the Hellenic Region (growth of 14.9%). Excluding Sareb, Servicing Revenues grew by 0.6% year on year.
Revenues from Co-investments are equal to €1.5 million (whilst were equal to €8.8 million in 2021, primarily driven by the capital gain related to the Relais and Mexico transactions, completed in Q1 2021 and Q4 2021 respectively).
The contribution of Revenues from Ancillary Products is €46.6 million, a 34.7% increase compared to the €34.6 million level achieved in 2021. More broadly, these revenues include various services provided by the Group (data services, due diligence services, master and structuring services, legal activities, real estate services and advisory services), primarily in the Italian and Greek market.
Outsourcing fees have decreased both in absolute terms (by 11.8%) and as a percentage of Gross Revenues (from 11.5% in 2021 to 10.4% in 2022) partially reflecting a different revenue mix but also the insourcing of some business processes, in particular in Italy, which allow to efficiently deploy the current available workforce available capacity.
Net Revenues, equal to €500.4 million, have declined by 1.2% compared to €506.5 million in 2021 (but excluding Sareb, Net Revenues have grown by 2.6% year on year).
Operating Expenses, equal to €301.7 million for 2022 (€307.1 million in 2021) have declined by 1.7% year on year and remained stable as a percentage of Gross Revenues at 54%. The decline in Operating Expenses in absolute terms of €5.4 million is due to lower HR, SG&A and Real Estate expenses, partially offset by an increase in IT costs due to projects.
EBITDA excluding non-recurring items grew by 0.4% to €201.7 million (from €200.9 million in 2021), with an increase in margin of 1.0 p.p., from 35.1% to 36.1%. Excluding Sareb, EBITDA excluding non-recurring items grew by 11.5% year on year.
Including non-recurring items, EBITDA stood at €198.7 million, recording a decline of 0.3% compared to 2021, when it was €199.3 million. Non-recurring items above the EBITDA mainly include charges related to consultancy M&A projects for €3.0 million in 2022.
Net Income including non-recurring items stands at €16.5 million, compared to €23.7 million in 2021. The decline is primarily related to the negative impact of the earn-out payable by doValue to Eurobank for the acquisition of doValue Greece (explained in more details below), as well as higher taxes, partially compensated by the growth in EBITDA, lower D&A, lower provisions for risks and charges and lower interest expenses.
Excluding non-recurring items, Net Income stands at €50.6 million, compared to €50.7 million in 2021. The nonrecurring items included below the EBITDA for 2022 mainly refer to the earn-out payable by doValue to Eurobank for the acquisition of doValue Greece, provisions for exit incentive plans and a litigation for operating claim which was compensated by an insurance payment.
Earn-out payable by doValue to Eurobank
The strong operating and financial performance in Greece led doValue to the almost full recognition to fair value of the earn-out (due to Eurobank in relations to the acquisition of the 80% stake in FPS, now doValue Greece, completed in 2020) in its balance sheet as of December 31st, 2022, thus leading to a negative charge at income statement level of €21.6 million. Such earn-out, already disclosed to the market in 2020, at the time of the closing of the acquisition, is equal to maximum amount of €40.0 million. In terms of cash outflows, the earn-out is payable in three tranches in 2024, 2026 and 2030 (for €12.0 million, €12.0 million and €16.0 million respectively). As of December 31st, 2021, doValue had already accounted in its balance sheet this item for €5.6 million.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Generation
Net Debt as of December 31st, 2022, stood at €429.9 million, compared to the €401.8 million as of December 31st , 2021.
The year 2022 was characterised by €30.8 million of Capex, related to the doTransformation program, an increase of €1.2 million compared to the level of 2021. Overall, the Capex plan 2022-2023 is in line with the initial plan as presented in the Capital Markets Day in January 2022 (considering the savings achieved with suppliers, the broader review of the plan during the last twelve months and the non-renewal of the Sareb contract).
In addition, a dividend of €39.1 million was paid in 2022, a substantial growth compared to the dividend paid in 2021 of €20.7 million.
Financial Leverage (represented by the ratio between Net Debt and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items) stands as of December 31st, 2022, at 2.1x (vs 2.0x as of December 31st, 2021) due to the increase in Net Debt partially compensated by the growth in EBITDA excluding non-recurring items.
The Financial Leverage of 2.1x is at the lower end of the 2.0-3.0x target range as reiterated in the Business Plan 2022-2024, thus making the balance sheet of doValue conservative. In addition, as of December 31st, 2022, doValue had €134.3 million of cash on its balance sheet and €133.5 million of lines available and not drawn.
Separate financial statements of doValue S.p.A.
The Board of Directors has also approved the financial statements of the Group parent company doValue S.p.A. for the fiscal year 2022, which reported net revenues equal to €149.4 million (€150.5 million in 2021), EBITDA equal to €42.6 million (€35.9 million in 2021), and Net Income, after taxes and excluding non-recurring items, equal to €24.4 million (€12.3 million in 2021).
Dividends
On April 28th, 2022, the Annual General Meeting of doValue approved the dividend related to the fiscal year 2021 of €0.50 per share for a total amount of €39.5 million. The dividend was paid on May 4th, 2022 (an amount of €0.4 million was yet to be claimed by shareholders as of December 31 st, 2022).
In addition, in line with the dividend policy approved in the context of the Business Plan 2022-2024, the Board of Directors of doValue has approved to propose to Shareholders a dividend related to the fiscal year 2022 of €0.60 per share for 2022 (for a total of approximately €47.5 million, considering the current number of treasury shares owned by the Company), representing a growth of 20% over the 2021 Dividend Per Share of €0.50. The dividend, which is subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, will be paid on May 10th, 2023 (ex-dividend date on May 8th , 2023, and record date on May 9th, 2023).
Resignation of the Chief Executive Officer
On March 17th, 2023, the Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A. has communicated that, on the same day, it had been notified by the Chief Executive Officer Andrea Mangoni of the intention to offer his resignation from his role, with effective date April 27th, 2023 (the planned day for the Annual General Meeting of the Company), to take on new professional opportunities. The Board of Directors has activated the relevant internal procedures aimed at starting the succession process for the role of Chief Executive Officer. In line with the remuneration policy adopted by the Company, there are no indemnities nor benefits in relations to the cessation of the role of Chief Executive Officer. The number of shares of the Company owned by Andrea Mangoni will be communicated at the time of the effective cessation of his role as Chief Executive Officer.
Update on business activity
Since the beginning of 2022, doValue has been active on several fronts across the three regions in which it operates, below is a summary of all the main initiatives and key mandates.
- MSCI ESG Research: in March 2023, MSCI ESG Research has upgraded the Group's MSCI ESG rating from "AA" to "AAA". MSCI ESG Research measures a company's resilience to environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks on a long-term horizon. The upgrade by MSCI ESG Research is a tangible example of doValue's commitment in adopting best practices in the interest of its stakeholders, in particular clients, capital providers (equity holders and bond holders), employees, and the broader social and environmental ecosystem in which the Company operates.
- Project Souq: in February 2023, doValue completed a €630 million GBV secondary portfolio disposal in Greece to Intrum. The portfolio has been carved out from the Cairo I and Cairo II HAPS securitisation vehicles which has been managed by doValue since their creation. The disposal allows doValue to accelerate its collection activity in Greece (for which it received a sale fee in Q1 2023) whilst retaining the long-term servicing mandate on the portfolio.
- Fino 1 GACS securitisation: in January 2023, thanks to the strong performance of doValue in the management of the securitisation Fino 1, in the context of which the GACS guarantee was granted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Class A senior notes of such securitisation have been repaid.
- Efesto Fund: between December 2022 and January 2023, the Efesto Fund has received commitments for UTP contributions for an aggregate amount of €1.1 billion, including sizeable commitments from primary Italian banks.
- Project Nix: in October 2022, doValue granted the management of a €300 million portfolio of non-performing loans by Fortress in Spain, representing the first sizeable NPL portfolio investment of Fortress in the Spanish market after it set up its local office in Madrid in May 2022.
- Project Virgo: in October 2022, doValue completed a €450 million GBV secondary portfolio disposal in Greece to EOS Group. The portfolio has been carved out from the Frontier I HAPS securitisation vehicle which has been managed by doValue since the beginning of February 2022. The disposal allows doValue to accelerate its collection activity in Greece (for which it received a sale fee in Q4 2022) whilst retaining the long-term servicing mandate on the portfolio.
- Project Frontier II: in July 2022, doValue signed an agreement with National Bank of Greece (NBG) in relation to the management of a Greek portfolio consisting of mostly secured non-performing loans for a GBV of €1.0 billion. The agreement is subject to the completion of the securitisation process of such portfolio by NBG under the Hellenic Asset Protection Scheme (HAPS) which is expected to be finalised in the first half of 2023.
- GACS securitisations: between May and June 2022, BCC Banca Iccrea and UniCredit completed two securitisations of non-performing loans assisted by GACS guarantee for €650 million and €1.1 billion respectively. doValue assumed the role of special servicer of the two securitisations.
- Project Sky: in May 2022, doValue signed a memorandum of understanding with Cerberus for the exclusive management of a portfolio of non-performing loans originated in Cyprus with GBV of €2.2 billion. doValue will assume the servicing of the portfolio from the closing (expected for 2023) until the portfolio run-off, whilst assisting with the interim management of the portfolio until closing.
-
Project Neptune: in April 2022, doValue was awarded a servicing mandate in Greece by Fortress for a portfolio of €500 million. As background, in 2020, Fortress acquired a portfolio from Alpha Bank with a GBV of approximately €1.1 billion and assigned the transitional servicing mandate to Greek servicer CEPAL. With Project Neptune, doValue assumes as long-term servicer the management of approximately 50% of the initial €1.1 billion portfolio.
-
Launch of Legal Services business unit in Spain: in July 2022, doValue has formally set up a new business unit in Spain dedicated to the offering of legal services to banks and institutional investor. The initiative is in line with the plan of further growing and diversifying the portfolio of products and solutions offered by doValue to its current and prospective clients in Spain. In this context, in October 2022, doValue signed an important contract with Sareb for the provision of legal services.
- Launch of SME business unit in Spain: in June 2022, doValue has formally set up a business unit dedicated to the management of Non-performing Exposures (NPE) related to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in Spain. The SME business unit employs about 40 professionals and is currently managing approximately €3 billion of GBV, a level which is expected to grow over the next few quarters.
- Sareb servicing contract: at the end of February 2022, Sareb made the decision of appointing two new servicers for the 2022-2025 contract and therefore not renewing the contract with doValue and the other 3 servicers currently managing the Sareb portfolio. The decision by Sareb has triggered a reorganisation of doValue's activities in Spain aimed at operating at an adequate scale preserving the profitability of the business in Iberia. Approx. €8 million of reorganisation costs were spent in 2022 and it is expected that the overall cost will be c. €11 million (thus lower than the initially estimated amount of approx. €15 million).
- ISO Certification 37001:16: during the month of November 2022, doValue S.p.A. received the UNI ISO 37001:16 certification - Management system for the prevention of corruption - the first international standard for anti-corruption management systems. The certification, issued by Bureau Veritas - one of the most important international players in the field of certification - testifies to the constant attention and commitment of doValue in preventing all forms of corruption. The UNI ISO 3700 standard was created to offer companies and organizations advanced management standards and effective measures to prevent and address corruption, establishing a culture of integrity, transparency, and compliance.
Other resolutions of the Board of Directors
During today's meeting, the Board also approved the Non-Financial Statement drawn up pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016 as of December 31st, 2022.
Outlook
European Banks have gone through a significant deleveraging process since 2014, selling and securitising €585 billion euro of non-performing exposures and achieving record-low NPE ratios (EBA data as of September 2023 indicate a weighted-average NPE ratio for banks in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus in the region of 2.8%).
Having said that, the level of Stage 2 loans in Southern Europe has materially increased since pre-COVID times, and currently stands at around 9.4% with Italy, Greece and Cyprus featuring even higher levels of Stage 2 loans (at 13.1%, 12.2% and 14.1% respectively).
The pipeline of potential servicing mandates for 2022 across Southern Europe is currently estimated by doValue at approximately €52 billion (including an estimated €18 billion related to secondary transactions) and is likely to grow further in the coming quarters, in particular as the currently challenging macro-economic conditions and stress factors (inflation and interest rates in primis) are likely to lead to increased production of NPEs. Data published by third party institutions already show that corporates default rates in Italy have increased in the first part of 2022, mainly in the corporate sector, and they are expected to increase further in 2023 and 2024.
More generally, doValue activity is underpinned by exogenous and favourable medium to long-term tailwinds, including the implementation, by banks, of stringent regulations (IFRS 9, Calendar Provisioning, Basel IV) aimed at promoting a very proactive approach in managing their balance sheets, in addition to the well-established outsourcing trend by banks of servicing activities.
