Gross Book Value

In what has been flagged as a transitional year by the management, with the company enhancing its business development structure and a market still characterized by smaller deals, the Group onboarded approximately €4.5 billion of new Gross Book Value (GBV), comprised of a robust €1.5 billion from forward flows and €3.0 billion from newly acquired mandates. These new mandates span across Italy (€0.3 billion), the Hellenic Region (€1.7 billion), and Iberia (€1 billion). Additionally, the company has secured a new primary mandate in Italy for €0.3 billion and €2.7 billion of secondaries in Greece (with the latter generating revenues from disposals while not increasing the GBV).

The company has focused on developing mandated non-NPL loans including stage 2 credits contributed to Efesto in Italy and new mandates in the granular asset class and early arrears in Spain. This confirms the Group's ability to build productive relationships and secure new contracts in diverse asset classes.

As of June 30th, 2024, the Gross Book Value (GBV) stands firmly at €117.7 billion, slightly higher compared to the figures of December 31st, 2023, and March 31st, 2024. This steady performance is a testament to the strong and proactive management strategies of the Group highlighted in our last 2024-2026 plan, which sets an annual target for new business (including forward flows) of €8.0 billion (on track to be reached).

Income Statement

The operational and financial results for H1 2024 are overall in line with management expectations, with better-thanexpected EBITDA. Despite deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, as reflected in several surveys covering both manufacturing and services, the Group managed to contain the impact on its collection rate, delivering €2.1 billion in collections to its customers.

Collections for H1 2024 totalled a substantial €2.1 billion, a decline of -13.5% compared to H1 2023. This decline was relatively better compared to the corresponding GBV trajectory. Collections in Italy for the period stood at €757 million, in the Hellenic Region at €845 million, and in Iberia at €497 million. The Collection Rate deteriorated by -0.2 percentage points to 4.2% as of June 30th, 2024, compared to Q1 2024, due to delays in implementing the new operating model in Italy and lower disposals in Greece.

In H1 2024, doValue recorded Gross Revenues of €213.7 million, a decline of -5.7% compared to the €226.5 million recorded in H1 2023. Servicing Revenues, amounting to €164.5 million in H1 2024, showed a decline of -7.6% compared to H1 2023 (€177.9 million), mainly driven by negative performance in Iberia (-26.9%) and slower activity in Italy (decline of -4.1%) and the Hellenic Region (-2.9%). The decline in Servicing Revenues was more pronounced in the REO segment in Spain (-37.4% Year-on-Year) due to pressure on real estate prices. UTP revenues stood at €17.0 million, a drop of -25%, mainly attributable to lower collections in Greece.

Revenues from co-investments remained stable at €0.8 million in H1 2024, consistent with H1 2023. Ancillary Revenues contributed €31.4 million, growing +25.0% YoY. As part of the 2024-2026 plan to further diversify revenue streams, the contribution of Ancillary Revenues to total revenues increased from 11.1% to 14.7%.

Outsourcing Fees for the NPL business decreased both in absolute terms (by -21.4%) and as a percentage of Gross Revenues (from 4.8% in H1 2023 to 4.0% in H1 2024), reflecting the insourcing of some business processes. Overall, the impact of outsourcing fees on total gross revenues increased from 9.0% to 10.2% due to higher ancillaries.

Net Revenues, amounting to €191.9 million, declined by -6.9% compared to €206.1 million in H1 2023. Operating Expenses remained stable at €124.6 million for H1 2024 (€124.5 million in H1 2023) but increased as a percentage of Gross Revenues to 58% (from 55% in H1 2023). It is noteworthy that in Q1 2023, costs were positively impacted by an extraordinary component related to the release of provision following the resignation of the previous CEO (approximately €6 million). Excluding this component, operating costs in 2024 are lower by the corresponding amount. Cost discipline was notable in Spain (-16.4%) as the company continues its restructuring process to maintain profitability.

EBITDA excluding non-recurring items decreased by -17.5% YoY to €67.4 million (from €81.6 million in H1 2023), resulting in a margin decline of 4.5 percentage points YoY. The comparison with 2023 is negatively impacted by a positive component in 2023 of €6 million related to the release of provisions for variable compensation of the former CEO. At the regional level, EBITDA in the Hellenic Region, excluding non-recurring items (€53.4 million, -9.9% YoY,

49% margin), was impacted by lower NPL and UTP revenues, though the region is close to its EBITDA margin target of 50%. Disposals concentrated in the second half are expected to significantly impact regional EBITDA both in absolute and relative terms. In Italy, EBITDA stood at €21.4 million (26.8% margin, excluding group costs). In Spain, delays in ramping up new contracts prevented EBITDA from swinging into positive territory (-€0.7 million).

Net Income excluding non-recurring items stands at a profit of €6.9 million in H1 2024, compared to a positive result of €18.1 million in H1 2023. The decline is primarily related to the lower EBITDA (down by €14.3 million Year-on-Year), counterbalanced by lower D&A. Including non-recurring items, Net Income stands at €15.5 million, compared to a positive result of €4.3 million in H1 2023. The non-recurring items below EBITDA for H1 2024 mainly refer to provisions for redundancies (approximately €8.4 million, mostly related to Spain) and positive components related to the Arbitration with Altamira Asset Management S.L. (€20 million in taxes and €2.7 million in financial income).

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash flow from operations demonstrated resilient performance in H1 2024, standing at €19.6 million, marking a decline of just €3.8 million compared to H1 2023, despite a drop in reported EBITDA of €14.8 million compared to H1 2023. Cash conversion at the operating level improved significantly thanks to net working capital containment measures and the normalization of other asset and liability items (which includes redundancies to improve operational leverage). This substantial growth in cash flow generation is attributed to enhanced management of net working capital, despite lower EBITDA. The company expects most of the cash flow generation to be concentrated in the second half of the year due to higher EBITDA and seasonality in payments.

As of June 30th, 2024, net debt stood at €479.4 million, significantly down from €517.0 million recorded at the end of March 2024. Net debt to LTM EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, was at a level of 2.9x as of June 30, 2024, down from 3.0x as of March 31, 2024.

In addition, as of June 30th, 2024, doValue demonstrated solid liquidity with €110.4 million of cash on its balance sheet and approximately €86 million of undrawn credit lines as of August 2024.

Update on business activity

Since the beginning of 2024, 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 in the first 6 months of the year.

  • New €300 million contract in sub-performing loans: on July 16th, the Company announced to have increased its assets under management following the transfer of UTP loan portfolios with a Stage 2 component and a GBV of €300 million.

The portfolio has been onboarded.

Update on Gardant acquisition

The Gardant transaction is progressing, with key regulatory filings and related activities, with the Bank of Italy, Consob, FDI and other national central banks/relevant authorities ongoing.

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) has been called for September 11th, 2024, to address essential resolutions to enact the transaction such as a reverse stock split, the introduction of new by-laws, an increased number of Board of Directors (BoD) members, a rights issue accompanied by a reserved capital increase for the sellers of Gardant.

The reverse stock split will result in the issuance of one new share for every five existing shares. Prior to closing, the sellers of Gardant will receive, through a cashless transaction, zero-coupon convertible notes, which will automatically convert into newly issued doValue shares corresponding to 20% of the company.

The rights issue, contingent upon of the acquisition of Gardant, will commence 1 business day after the acquisition of Gardant and will be for an amount of €150 million. The rights issue is backed by anchor shareholders Fortress, Bain, and Elliott for approximately €82.5 million and by a pre-underwriting agreements from banks for the remaining €67.5 million.

Outlook

The macroeconomic outlook for all major developed economies deteriorated sharply in Q2, despite ongoing improvements in inflation. The latest job report from the USA has triggered recession fears, while economic surveys are at their lowest levels. After a strong start to the year, the PMI survey data for July indicates a significant slowdown in Eurozone business activity.

The 2024-2026 plan envisages very limited flows of new money. However, the current macroeconomic environment points to recession fears and higher NPLs in the market. The latest EBA updates show the first positive net NPL inflow in 10 years, indicating a reversal of the cycle, that is why the new business for the Group has been above expectations.

The pipeline of potential servicing mandates for 2024-2025 across Southern Europe is currently estimated by doValue to be around €38 billion.

Overall, doValue's business is underpinned by long-term contracts which, even in a weak market environment for NPL transactions, guarantee a consistent revenue stream. In the medium term, the business could be further boosted by positive factors, including banks' implementation of strict regulations aimed at promoting a very proactive approach in the management of non-NPL loans as well as banks' consolidated tendency to outsource servicing activities.

The Group's collection activity was partially impacted by the weaker economic environment, with a lower collection rate, especially in Spain. This year is characterized as a transition period in which doValue is engaged in reshaping the operating model within the context of a still weak NPL markets and investing to foster and accelerate the diversification process towards non-NPL revenues. In this context the guidance has been updated to reflect a potential shift in closing of secondary sales and a soft collection environment. Specifically gross revenues are expected to be within €460-480 million range versus the previous €480-490 million target. As new business intake has been strong, the target of €115bn GBV has been confirmed. Thanks to significant cost containment measures which have proved already effective in 1H, the EBITDA is expected to land at €155-165 million versus previous €160-170 million guidance. Cash flow generation is in line with CMD estimates. Net leverage will be 2.8-3.0x vs. 2.7-2.8x, in line with company's financial policy and one of lowest in the sector.
