Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Interim Report at March 31, 2024, has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Italian Stock Exchange Regulation (Borsa Italiana) for companies listed on the STAR segment (article 2.2.3, paragraph 3), which requires the publication of the interim report within 45 days from the end of each quarter of the financial year, taking into account communication no. 7585 of April 21, 2016, from Borsa Italiana.

Therefore, as recalled in the aforementioned communication, the content of the Consolidated Interim Report has been prepared by referring to the provisions of the existing paragraph 5 of article 154-ter of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998.

The Consolidated Interim Report at March 31, 2024 does not contain all the information required for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For this reason, it is necessary to read the Consolidated Interim Report together with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, the doValue Group applies the International Accounting Standard for interim financial reporting (IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting) to the half-yearly financial report, and not to the quarterly report, except for requirements related to the preparation of informational statements concerning extraordinary operations.

The Consolidated Interim Report at March 31, 2024 is prepared on a going concern basis in compliance with the provisions of IAS 1, and on an accrual basis, in accordance with the principles of the relevance and materiality of accounting information and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form and with a view to facilitating consistency with future presentations.

The reporting currency is the euro, and the values presented therein are expressed in thousands of euros, unless otherwise indicated.

This Consolidated Interim Report is accompanied by the Certification of the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to article 154-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998.

LEGENDA

15

Gross Book Value EoP: indicates the book value of the loans under management at the end of the reference period for the entire scope of the Group, gross of any potential write-downs due to expected loan losses.

Collections for period: used to calculate fees for the purpose of determining revenues from the servicing business, they illustrate the ability to extract value from the portfolio under management.

LTM collections Stock/GBV (Gross Book Value) EoP Stock: the ratio between total gross LTM collections on the Stock portfolio under management at the start of the reference year and the end-period GBV of that portfolio.

Group Staff FTE/Total FTE: the ratio between the number of employees who perform support activities and the total number of full-time employees of the Group. The indicator illustrates the efficiency of the operating structure and the focus on management activities.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) of the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company: together with other relative profitability indicators, they highlight changes in operating performance and provide useful information regarding the Group's financial performance. These data are calculated at the end of the period.

Non-recurring items: items generated in extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company excluding non-recurring items: are defined as EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to core operations, excluding all items connected with extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA Margin: obtained by dividing EBITDA by Gross Revenues.

EBITDA Margin excluding non-recurring items: obtained by dividing EBITDA excluding non-recurring items by Gross revenues.

Earnings per share: calculated as the ratio between net profit for the period and the number of outstanding shares at the end of the period.

Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items: the calculation is the same as that for earnings per share, but the numerator differs from net profit for the period excluding non-recurring items net of the associated tax effects.

Capex: investments in property, plant, equipment and intangibles.

EBITDA – Capex: calculated as EBITDA net of investments in property, plant and equipment and intangibles. Together with other relative profitability indicators, it highlights changes in operating performance and provides an indication on the Group's ability to generate cash.

Net Working Capital: this is represented by receivables for fees invoiced and accruing, net of payables to suppliers for invoices accounted for and falling due in the period.

Net Financial Position: this is calculated as the sum of cash, cash equivalents and highly-liquid securities, net of amounts due to banks and bonds issued.

Leverage: this is the ratio between the Net Financial Position and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items for the last 12 months (possibly adjusted pro-forma to take account of significant transactions from the start of the reference year). It represents an indicator of the Group's debt level.

Group Results at March 31, 2024

At March 31, 2024, the Group's Managed Portfolio (GBV) in the five core markets in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus amounted to €116.9 billion, with an increase of 0.5% comparing with the balance of €116.4 billion at December 31, 2023.

New flows amounted to approximately 1.8 billion, of which roughly 28% related to the Italian market, 27% to the Iberian region and 45% to the Hellenic one.

The following chart shows the geographical breakdown of the GBV: in particular for each country the share managed at March 31, 2024 is highlighted.

The evolution of the Managed Portfolio, which includes only onboarded portfolios, during the first three months of 2024 was characterised by contracts related to new customers totalling €1.1 billion, of which approximately €0.6 billion in the Hellenic Region, roughly €0.2 billion in Iberia and about €0.3 billion in Italy.

In addition to the flows listed above, a further €0.7 billion comes from existing customers which are onboarded through flow contracts.

With respect to the decrease in GBV, during the first quarter, disposals totalled €0.3 billion.

The Managed Portfolio should be considered as further increasing compared to what has already been described above, due to new mandates awarded and currently in the onboarding phase, totaling approximately €1.0 billion, related to portfolios from leading institutions operating in Greece.

Portfolio under management

Group collections for the quarter amounted to €0.9 billion, down by approximately 11% on the comparative amount of the previous year (€1.1 billion).

The geographical breakdown of collections for 2024 is as follows: €0.3 billion in Italy, €0.2 billion in Iberia and €0.4 billion in the Hellenic Region.

Performance

The first quarter of 2024 ended with Eurozone GDP increasing by 0.3% compared to the previous quarter (and by 0.4% compared to the first quarter of 2023), also better than consensus expectation of around 0.1%. This figure, quite diverse when considering individual European countries, saw Spain as the top performer with a growth of +0.7% compared to the previous quarter, driven by a strong increase in exports and solid household consumption. Among the countries where the Group operates, Italy saw a 0.3% increase in GDP compared to the previous quarter and a 0.6% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023, while Greece experienced a 1.7% increase compared to March 2023.

During this first quarter, the Group recorded gross revenues of €99.0 million, marginally decreasing by 2% compared to €101.4 million in 2023. Geographically, there was a 6% growth contribution from Italy compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year (largely due to the growth of ancillary businesses as per the Business Plan guidelines), a decrease recorded in Iberia (mainly linked to the slowdown in the REO sector), and substantial consistency in the contribution from the Hellenic Region.

Servicing revenues from NPE and REO assets, totalling €83.9 million (€87.9 million in 2023), highlight a decrease of 5%. In terms of product breakdown, NPE revenues amount to €70.9 million (€76.7 million in March 2023), representing a decrease of approximately 8%; whereas REO revenues stand at €13.0 million, increasing with €11.3 million from the comparative period, indicating growth in Greece that was able to offset the slowdown in activities in Spain.

Co-investment revenues include a contribution of €0.3 million (€0.4 million in 2023) from proceeds derived from ABS securities of the two securitizations Romeo SPV and Mercuzio Securitisation, in which doValue holds a 5% stake.

The contribution of ancillary and other revenues is historically more significant, amounting to €14.8 million, a notable increase compared to €13.1 million in 2023. These revenues primarily originate from data processing and supply services and other services closely related to the mentioned servicing activities, such as due diligence, master and structuring services, legal services, as well as services offered in the Rental, Real Estate Development and diversified activities in Advisory and Portfolio Management domains. These revenues represent 15% of the total gross revenues for the current period, while their incidence was 13% in the comparative period, confirming them as a solid and stable revenue source for the entire Group.

Net revenues, amounting to €87.8 million, decreased by 4% compared to €91.8 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

NPE outsourcing fees recorded a contraction of 9%, totalling €2.9 million (€3.2 million in 2023), showing a significant decrease in Iberia and substantial consistency in Italy and Greece, resulting from lower collections made through the external network.

REO outsourcing fees decreased to €2.4 million (€2.9 million in 2023), mainly linked to the decrease in Spain due to the ongoing contraction in the Real Estate sector.

Ancillary outsourcing fees stood at €6.0 million compared to €3.6 million in 2023, with an increase of 67% and an overall margin of about 60%.

Operating costs, amounting to €62.9 million, showed an overall increase of 2% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year (€61.7 million).

In more detail, staff expenses, accounting for 48% of gross revenues, amounted to €47.9 million, recording a 7% increase compared to €44.7 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. It is noted that such item, during 2023, was positively impacted by a fund release related to the resignation of the former CEO.

Administrative expenses decreased by 12% compared to the corresponding period of 2023, amounting to €15.0 million against €16.9 million recorded in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. The trend of these costs led to reducing their ratio to gross revenues to 15%, thanks to rationalization of external consultancy usage. These actions almost entirely mitigated the cost increases related to ongoing inflationary pressures.

Iberia 650 649 1 0.2%
Hellenic Region 1,572 1,511 61 4.0%
Total 3,154 3,134 20 0.6%

As a result of the aforementioned dynamics, EBITDA stands at €24.9 million compared to €30.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, with a revenue incidence of 25.2% against 29.7% in March 2023, which had been positively influenced by the fund release related to the resignation of the former CEO as reported above. Excluding this event, the two operating results would be fully comparable.

It is noted that in the first quarter of 2024, approximately €35 thousand in non-recurring items were recorded, related to strategic and legal consulting costs concerning specific areas of the Group's development. Additionally, for the current quarter and due to operational and business-related reasons, Portugal's economic contribution has been included among non-recurring items and therefore excluded from regular business analyses.

Since these costs are not related to the Group's core business, it is believed that the organic capacity to generate operating profit is better expressed by the adjusted EBITDA, excluding such expenses. Therefore, EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounts to €25.0 million, compared to €30.1 million reported in March 2023 when no items directly unrelated to the course of business were noted.

The Group's EBIT stands at €5.9 million, compared to €9.0 million in the comparative period.

EBT is negative, amounting to €1.1 million, compared to a positive result of €1.6 million recorded on March 31, 2023. This item includes financial costs related to two bond issuances, those related to Earn-outs recognized following acquisition operations in Spain and Greece, the fair value delta related to minority coinvestments in securitization vehicles where the Group is the Servicer, and other minor items related to accounting under IFRS 16.

EBT includes additional non-recurring items totalling €4.7 million (€4.3 million in March 2023), mainly attributable to costs for the exit incentive affecting the Iberian region, in addition to the economic values contributed by Portugal and items related to arbitration in Spain.

Net write-downs on property, plant and equipment and intangibles amount to €13.7 million (€15.5 million in March 2023), including €5.0 million in amortization of servicing contracts and the brand of the doValue Spain and doValue Greece perimeter. The balance of this item also includes the portion of lease amortizations resulting from the recognition of lease contracts under the IFRS 16 principle, totalling €3.6 million. The remaining amortizations of €5.1 million mainly relate to software licenses for technological investments made by the Group during the year, aimed at improving the IT platform.

Net provisions for risks and charges amount to €5.3 million, compared to €6.5 million reported in March 2023, and are primarily related to provisions for exit incentives, legal disputes, and prudential provisions on credits.

Net financial interest and commissions amount to €7.4 million, from €6.7 million on March 31, 2023. This item mainly reflects the cost related to the debt of the two bond issuances serving the acquisition process carried out in Spain and Greece as part of the Group's internationalization strategy, as well as the interest related to the drawdown of a revolving line by the Greek subsidiary.

Including non-recurring items, the result for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company is negative at €7.1 million, compared to a negative value of €2.7 million in March 2023.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The international expansion of doValue into the broad Southern European market through the acquisition of doValue Spain, followed by doValue Greece, has led management to consider it appropriate to assess and analyze the business with a geographical segmentation approach.

This classification is tied to specific factors of the entities included in each category and to the type of market. The geographical regions thus identified were: Italy, Hellenic Region and Iberia (it is noted that, in order to exclude non-recurring items, this area for the 2024 period only consists of Spain.). It should be noted that the Italian segment includes €2.7 million linked to the cost of the resources allocated to the Group.

Based on these criteria, the following table shows the revenues and EBITDA (excluding non-recurring items) for the year for each of these business segments.

Gross revenues recorded in the quarter amount to €97.1 million (€101.4 million in March 2023) and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounted to €25.0 million (€30.1 million in March 2023). Italy contributed 38% to the Group's gross revenues, Hellenic Region 50% and Iberia 12%.

The EBITDA margin excluding non-recurring items in Italy was 13% (20% excluding charges of €2.7 million mentioned above), 45% in the Hellenic Region and a negative 12% in Iberia.

Cash and liquid securities amounting to €66.0 million shows a decrease of €46.4 million compared to the end of the previous year, reflecting the financial dynamics of the period described below in the paragraph concerning the Net Financial Position.

Financial assets indicate a balance of €45.5 million, down €0.7 million compared to the value recorded on December 31, 2023, which was €46.2 million.

The item is broken down in the following table.

Financial assets "at fair value through profit or loss" records an overall decrease of €0,6 milion. Specifically, debt securities show an increase of €0.8 million, almost entirely attributable to valuation effects. The CIUs related to the reserved closed-end alternative securities fund Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II), decreased by €1.4 million due to the cancellation and distribution of units. This category also includes the fair value attributed to the non-hedging derivative on BidX1, representing the value of the outstanding call option, which does not show any changes compared to the year-end 2023 data.

Financial assets "at fair value through OCI", which include the non-controlling interests held in the Brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. (11.46%) and in the Irish proptech company BidX1 (17.7%), report a valuation decrease of €83 thousand, exclusively attributable to the latter.

Financial assets "at amortised cost" remains practically unchanged, standing at €0.6 million.

Property, plant and equipment, amounting to €47.8 million, show a decrease of €0.9 million compared to December 31, 2023, as a result of reductions due to the classification as assets held for sale of the Portuguese assets for €0.8 million (for further details, refer to the "Significant events occurred during the period"), in addition to amortisation charge for the quarter (€4.2 million), which were almost entirely offset by new purchases totalling €4.1 million, largely related to electronic equipment leases (€3.9 million).

Intangible assets decrease from €473.8 million to €465.8 million, resulting in a reduction of €7.9 million. This difference is primarily driven by the combined effect of reductions of €9.6 million due to amortisation and increases of €1.6 million, mostly related to software purchases, including the portion classified as assets under development and payments on account.

The following is a breakdown of intangible assets:

Intangible assets 3/31/2024 12/31/2023 Change € Change %
Software 48,195 51,413 (3,218) (6.3)%
Brands 19,914 20,671 (757) (3.7)%

Total 465,848 473,784 (7,936) (1.7)%

In particular, the most significant portion of intangible assets is due to Group's two acquisitions, relating respectively to doValue Spain and its subsidiaries, carried out at the end of June 2019, and the business combination of doValue Greece completed in June 2020, as summarised below:

Tax assets, as detailed below, show a balance of €94.6 million at the end of the quarter, compared to €99.5 million on December 31, 2023. The reduction of €4.9 million primarily stems from the performance of indirect taxes included in the "Other tax receivables" component, as well as an overall effect of releases of "Deferred tax assets".

Other assets show a balance of €75.6 million compared to €51.2 million at the end of 2023, with an increase of €24.3 million. This increase is attributable to a deposit of €22.3 million made by the Parent Company doValue on January 16, 2024, related to the arbitration in Spain (for further details, please refer to the Significant events occurring during and after the end of the period).

As of March 31, 2024, financial liabilities - debts to banks/bondholders decrease from €588.0 million to €583.0 million, with a decrease of €5.0 million mainly due to the payment of coupons maturing in the first quarter of the year.

At the end of the first quarter of 2024, the remaining debt at amortized cost for the two issued bonds is as follows:

  • 2020-2025 bond with a nominal value of €264.0 million, interest rate of 5.0%: €262.4 million;

  • 2021-2026 bond with a nominal value of €296.0 million, interest rate of 3.4%: €295.2 million.

Other liabilities also do not show significant deviations, moving from a balance of €57.1 million at the end of 2023 to €57.8 million, representing an increase of €0.7 million. This item consists of liabilities to personnel (€28.2 million), as well as accrued liabilities and other current liabilities totalling €29.6 million.

Assets and liabilities held for sale include the values of the subsidiary doValue Portugal following the progress of the related sales process initiated at the end of 2023. For further details, please also refer to the "Significant events occurred during the period".

Shareholders' Equity attributable to the Parent Company amounts to €41.2 million, compared to €53.0 million on December 31, 2023.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

Trade payables (68,507) (58,878) (85,383)
Total 121,071 131,004 114,461

The period figure stands at €121.1 million, showing a slight uptick (6%) compared to €114.5 million at the end of 2023: this increase stems from the decline observed in Italy amounting to approximately €9 million, which was entirely offset by an uptrend in the Hellenic and Iberian regions. It is also noted that almost all ongoing GACS transactions in Italy and some ongoing operations in Greece are expected to have payment dates in the following months of April and May 2024. The value, relative to the revenue of the last 12 months, therefore, stands at 25%, consistent with the 24% at end of 2023.

H Net financial position (E)+(F)+(G) (517,027) (432,679) (475,654)

The net financial position at the end of March 2024 amounts to €517.0 million, compared to €475.6 million at the end of 2023.

The dynamics of the period were characterized by planned investments totalling approximately €1.8 million, mainly in Italy, the working capital dynamics mentioned above, as well as the payment of taxes largely attributable to the Hellenic Region and financial charges related to the two bond issuances amounting to €11.6 million. It is noted that during the quarter, the buy-back operation on own shares for €3.4 million was completed, and an amount of €22.3 million was deposited by the Parent Company doValue relating to the arbitration in Spain (for further details, please refer to the Significant Events occurred during and after the end of the period)."

As a result of the aforementioned dynamics, the "Cash" item amounts to €66.0 million, compared to €112.4 million at the end of 2023.

In addition to the current cash levels, the Group has €67.5 million in credit lines, bringing the available liquidity to approximately €133.5 million. As of the date of this document, negotiations are underway for an additional credit line of €15 million with Banco Santander.

The net current financial position remains positive at €36.7 million (€77.2 million at the end of 2023), largely influenced, as mentioned, by the deposit of €22.3 million made by the Parent Company doValue in relation to the arbitration in Spain (this amount was subsequently received after the quarter's end by the Spanish subsidiary of the Group, doValue Spain Servicing, as reported in the Significant Events occurred after the end of the period to which reference is made).

Change in Net Financial Position (41,373) (2,820) (45,795)

The Operating Cash Flow for the period amounted to a positive €3.9 million (€22.1 million in March 2023) and is the result of the margin expressed in the period, with EBITDA amounting to €24.9 million and investments amounting to €1.8 million, thanks to the continuation of the Group's technological transformation program. The cash conversion ratio related to EBITDA stands at 93%, slightly down from 95% in March 2023, indicating the Group's ability to convert its operational margin into cash even in the presence of the aforementioned investment levels and a lower absolute margin compared to the previous fiscal year.

The change in net working capital is negative at €10.2 million (compared to a cash absorption of €1.2 million in March 2023). The variation in the current period is linked to deferred collections in the first few months following the end of the reference period for certain services rendered, particularly in the Greece and Italy regions.

The "Change in other assets/liabilities," amounting to -€7.9 million, mainly includes payments related to personnel exits and items related to periodic leases treated according to the IFRS 16 methodology.

Taxes paid amount to €9.1 million and are essentially attributable to direct taxes paid in the Hellenic Region (€13.2 million in March 2023).

Financial charges paid amount to €11.6 million (€11.7 million in March 2023), reflecting the average cost (at a fixed rate) recorded following the bond issuances supporting the Group's international growth process. These operations allowed the Group to replace credit lines with pre-determined interest and principal repayment schedules with bullet repayment instruments for the principal and semi-annual payment of coupons. This resulted in a better balance of sources with corresponding maturity extensions and lower interest expenses given the current interest rate curve.

The dynamics described above result in a Free Cash Flow of -€16.7 million compared to -€2.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, mainly due to the lower level of EBITDA developed as described in the section dedicated to the commentary on performance.

The "(Investments)/disinvestments in financial assets" item is positive at €1.4 million and mainly includes collections from the shares of the Italian Recovery Fund alternative investment fund.

It is noted that during the period in question, the deposit of €22.3 million related to the arbitration in Spain was made (for further details, please refer to the Significant Events occurred during and after the end of the period), and the completion of the buy-back program for own shares totalling €3.4 million was carried out.

As a result, the net cash flow for the period is negative at €41.4 million, whereas in 2023 the value was negative at €2.8 million. It is noted that, excluding the deposit related to the arbitration in Spain and the buy-back, the generated cash flow would have been €15.7 million negative.

Significant events occurred during the period

ADSOLUM CLOSURE

The Board of Directors on January 12, 2024, resolved to initiate the closure process of Adsolum Real Estate S.L., the company resulting from the spin-off of the REO business branch of doValue Spain, effective from January 1, 2021. This process involves offboarding the remaining client, liquidating real estate options, and conducting collective layoffs of personnel.

Once the above process is completed, the company will be directly merged into doValue Spain, as the sole shareholder to date, through the transfer of all assets and liabilities.

The liquidation is a consequence of the challenging interest rate environment and regulatory prospects regarding rents in Spain, which include rent increase limits and eviction process restrictions that have prevented the company from meeting its business expectations.

EQUITY INJECTIONS FOR THE IBERIA REGION

During the first quarter of 2024, equity injections were resolved for both subsidiaries in the Iberia region, namely for doValue Spain Servicing S.A. and doValue Portugal Unipessoal Limitada, as their respective equities fell below the limits established by law.

ARBITRATION IN SPAIN

The Group is awaiting the judgment of the High Court of Justice of Madrid on the partial annulment action of the arbitral award brought by Altamira Asset Management Holdings S.L. (hereinafter "AAMH") and related to the latter's obligation to pay the tax claim imposed under the arbitral award still pending to date. The arbitral award was issued by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on May 11, 2023, and provides for the reimbursement of approximately €28 million, plus legal interest, in favor of the doValue Group and, similarly, the payment by doValue S.p.A. (hereinafter "doValue") of the Earn Out, inclusive of passive interests.

On February 26, 2024, the competent Court of Madrid rejected the opposition filed by AAMH against the enforcement procedure that sentenced it to pay the amount stipulated in the arbitral award, resulting in the seizure of all AAMH's assets.

On January 16, 2024, doValue deposited with the competent Court the sum of approximately €22 million, in execution of its own motion (i.e., the seizure of the Earn-out credit that AAMH holds against doValue pursuant to the arbitral award). Regarding these sums, attributable to the aforementioned Earn Out, the Court has consented to their use to satisfy a portion of the credit that doValue Spain Servicing S.A. holds against AAMH.

TAX AUDIT IN ITALY

It is recalled that the Parent Company underwent a tax audit for the fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017, prior to the listing, and that no issues were identified for the year 2015.

Regarding the finding concerning the fiscal year 2016, and for which, following the inability to reach a settlement agreement with the Tax Authority, the Parent Company filed a judicial appeal on December 16, 2023, a hearing has been scheduled for the end of May 2024.

On February 16, 2024, the Parent Company filed a tax settlement proposal regarding the tax assessment for the fiscal year 2017, received on December 19, 2023. The settlement proposal must be concluded by May 17, 2024, or alternatively, continue by challenging the tax assessment itself through an appeal to be served by the same date.

In light of the above for both issues, the Company considers the risk of liability to be possible.

INDUSTRIAL PLAN 2024-2026

On March 20, 2024, the Board of Directors of doValue approved the Group's 2024-2026 Industrial Plan, which, among its various aspects, underlies the estimation processes supporting the carrying value of certain items recorded in Financial Statements.

The new business plan aims for improved profitability and cash flows, also through diversification, innovation and efficiency in credit management processes.

The pillar of the new Industrial Plan lies in a customer-oriented approach, which will materialize in a new organizational structure. The objective is to become the best partner for for banks and investors throughout the credit value chain, including integrating real estate services with credit management.

The Industrial Plan includes, among other things, the maintenance of its significant market share in Southern Europe (15-20%), a greater revenue diversification aiming to generate 35-40% of revenues from non-NPL businesses, improved process efficiency, and maintaining a solid capital structure with the aim of bringing leverage between 2.1-2.3x by 2026.

The new Industrial Plan has been prepared with conservative assumptions regarding the acquisition of new mandates to account for the changed sectoral context. Any shifts in the macroeconomic environment, which is currently very favorable for banks, could represent potential upsides not currently accounted for in the plan.

DOVALUE HAS ENTERED INTO EXCLUSIVE DISCUSSIONS FOR A POTENTIAL COMBINATION WITH GARDANT

On March 21, 2024 doValue, Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited ("EAUK") and Tiber Investments S.à r.l. ("Tiber"), an affiliate of funds advised by EAUK, have entered into a nonbinding heads of terms identifying certain key terms for a potential combination with Gardant S.p.A ("Gardant"). Pursuant to this agreement, exclusive negotiations will be conducted with the aim of finalizing a binding agreement for the potential combination with Gardant.

The transaction potentially entails the acquisition of 100% of Gardant by doValue, also through a capital increase reserved for the seller, and would enable doValue to strengthen its equity position and increase its market share in Italy alongside strong strategic partners.

Gardant boasts a comprehensive credit management offering across the entire value cycle of the loan management, focusing on Italy with ~€40 billion of assets under management (of which ~€20bn of Assets Under Special Servicing) and approximately €500 million of funds under management through its fully dedicated alternative asset management company, Gardant Investor SGR.

The transaction, which is subject to reaching satisfactory binding agreements between the parties, is still in the finalization stage, in addition to obtaining all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals.

PROGRESS OF THE SALE PROCESS OF DOVALUE PORTUGAL

In November 2023, the Board of Directors of doValue Spain, as the sole shareholder of the subsidiary doValue Portugal Unipessoal Limitada, had decided to initiate the sale process, considering the negative economic and financial prospects of the company, despite the initiatives taken to reduce its financial losses. During the first quarter of 2024, the sale process continued with the receipt of binding offers and subsequent negotiation activities; therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate a high probability of selling doValue Portugal during the current fiscal year.

OTHER RELEVANT ACTIVITIES

Below is a summary of the main initiatives and most significant mandates for the first quarter of 2024:

  • Conclusion of the share buyback program: on February 2, 2024, the company completed the purchase program of 2,000,000 shares aimed at replenishing an adequate reserve to support management incentive and remuneration plans. The total expenditure amounted to €5,506,096. At the end of the program, the company held 2,827,230 shares, equivalent to 3.53% of the share capital. The conclusion of the program was publicly announced on February 5.
  • New mandate in Greece for €500 million: a new servicing contract was signed with Attica Bank S.A. by doValue Greece. The agreement concerns the management of a portfolio of NPEs worth approximately €0.5 billion GBV, part of a securitized portfolio known as Project Omega, which was transferred back to Attica Bank in February 2024.

Significant events occurred after the end of the period

Below are listed the significant events that occurred after the close of the reporting period that the doValue Group considers non-adjusting events in accordance with IAS 10.

ARBITRATION IN SPAIN

By order dated April 4, 2024, the Court granted the Group's request and ordered the delivery of the deposited amount of approximately €22 million to doValue Spain Servicing S.A. (hereinafter "doValue Spain"); the funds were received by doValue Spain on April 11, 2024.

NEW SERVICING AGREEMENTS IN GREECE

On May 10, 2024, doValue Greece announced the signing of additional new mandates in Greece for a total amount of €1 billion.

PARTNERSHIP FOR STAGE 2 MANAGEMENT THROUGH AI

doValue and Cardo AI, a fintech specialized in developing technologies for structured finance, have announced a strategic partnership for effective and proactive management of Stage 2 through artificial intelligence. The exclusive partnership focuses on specialized monitoring of Stage 2 loans to assist banks through proprietary models for dynamic risk management and default prediction.

Outlook for operations

The Board of Directors approved on March 20, 2024, the new Industrial Plan for the period 2024-2026, which includes specific financial targets related to key variables for the three-year period (for further details, please refer to the "Significant events occurred during the period" section).

In particular, to safeguard profitability in a challenging market environment, the Group will continue to pursue cost containment actions while simultaneously making significant investments in new technologies to further enhance the efficiency of credit management processes. The doTrasformation project by doValue, launched in 2022, has been completed, yielding €18 million in cost savings in 2023. In 2024, further transformation initiatives will be undertaken to contain the expected increase in the cost base.

2024 is therefore identified as a year of transformation and investment, aimed at laying the foundations for growth in the following years, 2025 and 2026; hence, the expected results for 2024 are to be considered in the context of executing the transformation program, with initiatives planned in all geographical areas of operation. It is anticipated that the full impact of cost optimization actions will not be noticeable in the first half of the year.

The commitment to diversifying revenue sources will continue, extending beyond the traditional NPL segment. This approach is part of the strategy to expand the asset portfolio and consolidate the doValue's market position.

Regarding the current market context, it is expected that:

  • activities in Italy will continue in line with the trends observed in 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, with revenues slightly contracting due to new business inflows not yet sufficient to offset the collection rate;
  • activities in the Hellenic Region will be supported by an acceleration of collections, also driven by potential portfolio sales in the secondary market on behalf of clients, which should lead to a stable year-on-year margin;
  • activities in Iberia will fully reflect the offboarding of the Sareb portfolio following the contract expiration, partially offset by cost reduction resulting from the reorganization of Spanish activities that has already affected the latter part of 2022 and 2023.

Main risks and uncertainties

The financial position of the doValue Group is adequately scaled to meet its needs, considering the activity carried out and the results achieved.

The financial policy pursued is aimed at fostering the stability of the Group, which in view of its operations does not currently or prospectively intend to engage in speculative investment activity.

The main risks and uncertainties, considering the Group's business, are essentially connected to the macroeconomic situation which could have consequences on the general trend of the economy and on the generation of non-performing exposures. Furthermore, there remain elements of uncertainty related to the persistence of a high-interest rate environment, which is having a negative impact on real estate transactions. The continuation of high-interest rates and heightened volatility in the capital markets could result in a significant increase in financial expenses for the Group, leading to a reduction in available cash flows for shareholders.

GOING CONCERN

In order to express an opinion on the going concern assumption used to prepare this Consolidated Interim Report at March 31, 2024, the risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed were carefully assessed:

  • in particular, consideration was given to forecasts regarding macroeconomic scenarios impacted by a combination of inflation, rising interest rates, and economic downturn, as exogenous values to be considered in trend terms among the assumptions of the 2024-2026 Group Industrial Plan, as well as in sensitivity analyses related to impairment tests of intangible assets as of March 31, 2024;
  • in assessing the sustainability of asset values as of March 31, 2024, factors such as the Group's capital endowment, financial position, and cash flow generation capacity, as reflected in the new 2024-2026 Group Industrial Plan, were taken into account, as well as the characteristics of doValue's specific business model, which demonstrates flexibility to respond to different phases of the economic cycle;

  • profitability, primarily dependent on managed assets, as well as the contribution of new portfolio management contracts recorded in the first quarter of 2024 and the resulting collections, were considered;
  • finally, consideration was given to the judgment of rating agencies on the Group's quoted debt instruments and the level of prices recorded by such instruments in the secondary market.

With exclusive reference to the repayment of existing bond loans, one maturing in August 2025 and the other in mid-2026, the Group has initiated appropriate activities for the refinancing of the loan maturing in August 2025, evaluating the best available options. Furthermore, it is noted, as already highlighted in the paragraph concerning the Net Financial Position, the Group's liquidity as of March 31, 2024 amounted to €66.0 million and credit lines to €67.5 million, in addition to the cash that will be generated by the maturity date of the aforementioned bond and new credit lines that the Group is negotiating.

From the analyses carried out and on the basis of the assumptions reported above, no uncertainties have emerged in relation to events or circumstances which, considered individually or as a whole, could give rise to doubts regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
