  • Net financial debt at €389m as of February 2021 and 2.7x PF leverage at the end of 2020

New servicing mandates: better than pre-COVID target

Better than expected trend in Spain and Cyprus, chiefly due to flows from Santander

Forward Flows

  • Slower trend in Italy, where bank moratoria have been more stringent
  • Cautious expectations in 1H21, due to moratoria extension until June in most countries, with pick-up foreseen more in 2H21

New Servicing mandates

  • Very strong performance of Italy, with repeat business from ICCREA and Unicredit, testifying our track record and significant innovation capabilities with a Leasing GACS and a multi-bank corporate UTP portfolio
  • Hellenic Region also better than expected due to synergetic relationship with Bain Capital Credit yielding results

Strong FY2020 financial results despite Covid

  • Base fees at 36% of revenues, underpinning the defensive features of doValue's business model
  • Benefits of Altamira and doValue Greece integration more than offset the disruption caused by lockdown

  • Impact on profitability limited by quick reduction in variable costs
  • Significant actions on all fixed cost items, focused on HR, IT, SG&A

▪ Reduction of Net Income ex NRI impacted mainly by non-cash D&A component and financial charges related to acquisitions

Resilient business model providing strong financial results with limited and temporary impact from COVID-19

Notes: (1) Assumes doValue Greece consolidated from June 2020 (2) Assumes doValue Greece consolidated for 12 months of 2020

Strong cash flow supporting dividend and M&A

  • Strong cash position of +130m increased to €157m as of Feb 21
  • Undrawn RCF for up to €80m
  • Access to debt capital market with a NC2 2025 bond issued in 2020
  • Leverage ratio expected to increase slightly in 1Q21 mainly due to LTM EBITDA and trending down afterwards

  • €394m of operating cash flow generated over the last 4 years with €127m1 of capital returned to shareholder mainly by dividend distributions
  • Current dividend policy allows for minimum 65% payout out of Net Income ex NRI however decision not to pay dividends of c.€50m in 2020 (on 2019 earnings) to preserve a strong financial profile and liquidity
  • doValue continues monitoring the market environment for potential opportunities both in existing markets and via diversification in higher growth potential contiguous sectors such as fintech, big data and proptech
  • Commitment to keep leverage target within 3.0x Net Debt /EBITDA

BoD will propose a dividend distribution of €20.8m or 100% payout out of Net Income ex NRI to be paid in August 2021

Notes: 1: including €1.9m of dividend distributed during 2020 to Banco Santander, as minority shareholder of Altamira Spain and not including a dividend of €21 million which will be proposed to the next shareholders' meeting

levels in industry and within financial policy targets

Notes: 1: Excluding Non Recurring Items (costs linked to Group reorganization and the acquisition of Altamira Asset Management and doValue Greece); 2: LTM Pro Forma including the acquisition of Altamira Asset Management and doValue Greece.

Evolution of GBV under management

  • Assets under management continue to diversify (more asset classes and markets) and grow organically and via M&A
  • Inflows from existing clients (forward flow agreements with Unicredit, Santander, Alpha Bank) +50% above FY20 expectations, despite banking moratoria in place
  • Inflows from new clients on the high-end of the guidance and led by new products (e.g. UTP and leasing)
  • Icon portfolio award in Greece and Marina portfolio award in Cyprus to be onboarded in 2021 bring total GBV to €161bn PF at FY20

One of the most diversified portfolios in the industry

  1. "Other Investors" includes Fortress at 23% of total GBV (together with FINO 2 portfolio).

Revenue composition: resiliency in base fees

Base fees significantly increased as a proportion of revenues at 36%, providing a hedge to current scenario

  • Structural higher exposure to Spain and Greece & Cyprus (base fees ca. 10 and >15bps respectively vs Italy at ca. 5bps)
  • Variable fees discount the temporary reduction due to COVID-19 (postponement of collections)
  • Outsourcing fees higher in absolute terms due to consolidation of Altamira Asset Management and linked to REO services
  • Excluding M&A, NPL outsourcing fees continue trending down year-on-year

Focus on operating expenses

Notes: 1. Non Recurring Items related to the acquisitions of Altamira Asset Management and Eurobank FPS (now doValue Greece)

Financial highlights by geography

  • Structurally higher collection rates in markets ex-Italy, due to shorter timing of legal procedures
  • Collections and REO sales trending towards normalization, still affected by legal courts operating below capacity and enforcing Governmental measures in place to limit the spread of COVID-19
  • Spain and Portugal in line with expectations, supported by REO sales and real estate market holding up
  • Strong results in Greece and Cyprus, with accretive profitability and downside protection in the form of higher than average base fees. doValue Greece (formerly FPS) ahead of pre-Covid budget

Notes: 1: Including REO sales and excluding doValue Greece (given the mix of restructuring and liquidation activities, not captured by collections).

NWC and Net financial position

  • Confirming improvement of NWC vs YE19 on the back of both lower receivables and higher payables
  • Client shift towards investors (paying quicker vs banks) and doValue Greece contracts are key structural NWC positives
  • No sign of stress in payments by customers due to Covid-19

  • As expected, leverage at 2.7x. Covenants provide significant headroom even in case of unforeseen external shocks

  • Leverage at end of Feb 21 further reduced by sale of a co-investment held on balance sheet at YE20
  • Liquidity further strengthened by undrawn revolving credit facilities of ca. €80m
  • No refinancing needs until 2025

Cash flow dynamics

  • Confirmed highly cash generative nature of business, with positive NWC trend, limited capex and cash taxes
  • Growth in Net Debt only due to acquisition of doValue Greece, closed on June 5th 2020
  • Free cash flow generation at €87m YE20, supported by EBITDA and positive trend in Net Working Capital
