Financial Structure
•Final Remarks Andrea Mangoni, CEO
An attractive investment proposition in current markets
| 1 | Attractive dividend policy | • • |
Committed to DPS growth of 20% per annum in 2021-2024 (starting from DPS of €0.50 for 2021) More than 35% of current market cap returned in the next 3 years as dividends |
✓ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | No direct exposure to Russia / Ukraine |
• • |
Managed loans are mostly secured to domestic real estate located in Southern Europe Less than €20m of GBV related to Russian / Ukrainian borrowers (in Greece / Cyprus) |
✓ |
| 3 | No short term exposure to interest rates in financing structure |
• • |
Current debt made of fixed coupon bonds (€265m / 2025 @ 5% coupon, and €300m / 2026 @ 3.375% coupon) No refinancing needs before 2025 |
✓ |
| 4 | Limited exposure to inflation in the cost structure |
• • |
Pure servicing business, HR makes 69% of cost base (IT 11%, real estate 2% and SG&A 17%) Mild link of cost base to inflation |
✓ |
| 5 | Gross Book Value mostly secured to real estate assets |
• • |
Approx. 73% of GBV is secured (vs 23% being unsecured) and mostly backed by real estate assets Real estate is good medium term inflation hedge, supporting collection performance |
✓ |
| 6 | Potential increase in NPEs | • | In addition to post-COVID flows (already expected to materialise in 2022), the current dramatic situation in Ukraine and the sanctions affecting Russia, coupled with macro slowdown, inflation and rising interest rates, will most likely add more pressure to certain corporate sectors and households in Southern Europe leading to increased NPE formation |
