Management report
Eleving Group Société anonyme
The Management Board of the Company presents the report on the annual accounts for the year ended 2024. All the figures are presented in EUR (euro). The main goal of the Company is to develop the business of its affiliated undertakings. It acts as the ultimate holding and financing company for the group therefore its success is measured from financial results of the Group as a whole and not from its standalone results only.
Since the last day of the reporting year several other significant events took place:
- During first quarter of 2025 the Company successfully tapped its EUR 50 million Eurobond (ISIN DE000A3LL7M4) by issuing additional EUR 40 million, which will be mainly used to fuel the future growth of the business and partially refinance existing liabilities. The new bonds where issued with a 10% yield to maturity since additional discount of 9% of nominal was deducted at the moment of the tap.
- In March 2025 the Company received dividends from its subsidiaries for total amount of EUR 10 943 452.
Total assets of the Company increased to EUR 235.5 million (7% increase, compared to 219.7 million EUR in 2023). During the last quarter of 2024, the Group accomplished the largest initial public offering (IPO) in Nasdaq Riga’s history. Immediate short term use of the proceeds was allocated to redeeming Eleving Group’s subordinated bonds and selectively repaying higher cost Mintos outstanding loans. The remaining IPO proceeds were allocated for organic growth, new product rollout, and new market launches.
In 2024 the Company had no research and development activities. During 30 days after IPO the Company performed purchase of its own share as part of share price stabilisation process. As a result the Company purchased in total 689 558 shares for total amount of EUR 1 146 772.
In 2024 the Group continued to cooperate with continental Europe’s leading marketplace for loans - Mintos (www.mintos.com). Currently, the Group has one of the largest loan portfolios listed in the platform, and it offers investors to invest in Group’s loans originated in thirteen operational entities. The Company does not have any branches as at 31 December 2024.
Management Report
Eleving Group S.A.
General information 28 April 2025
Operations and Financial Results
In 2024 the Company generated EUR 34 600 034 revenue (income from participating interests and income from other investments and loans forming part of the fixed assets) (2023: EUR 26 392 990) and EUR 7 003 721 profit (2023 profit: EUR 4 744 144).
Eleving Group S.A. (hereinafter referred to as – the Company) and its affiliated undertakings (hereinafter together referred to as – the Group) is an international and fast-growing financial technology company with a vast global reach. Operating on three continents, the Groups companies recognize the niche underserved by conventional lenders and provide financial inclusion by disruptively changing the used car and consumer financing industry. Founded in 2012 in Latvia, the Group revolutionized how people acquire used cars. Having expanded to the Baltic region within a year after its launch, the Group continued its further expansion, operating in 16 active markets as of the end of 2024. Eleving Group has disrupted the used vehicle market and how a person's social mobility can be elevated through access to convenient and responsible lending. The Group's main car financing products are financial leasing, where customers use the Group's services to acquire the vehicles, and leaseback financing, where the customer sells their vehicle and leases it back to Eleving. The Groups consumer finance business offers flexible financial products starting with a credit line and ending with an installment loan with a focus on providing accessibility to a substantial amount of money in the most convenient way. Innovative financial solutions, the transparency provided by the presence in the international capital markets, and a talented team of 2 589 people on average during the reporting year make the Group one of the top fastest growing companies in the industry.
Despite the uncertainty in the global economy, demand for consumer credit products has not weakened, and customer's ability to settle their liabilties is still higher than expected in a period of economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates environment. The Group has successfully addressed the diversification of the funding structure by unlocking numerous additional financing channels like local impact funds, bank loans, local notes. Also, the Group continues to maintain lean operations and strong cost discipline. Together with the increasing digitization of the daily processes, the Group managed to maintain a very cost-effective business even in an inflationary environment. These activities together with a succesfull IPO have substantially strenghtened the Group's capitalization.
The Group has also further improved its position in green mobility by continuously expanding electric motorcycle financing services in the African region with over 2 000 units financed and an investment of approximately EUR 2 million to expand this product line. The Company and the Group had a year where its net loan portfolio reached a new all time high amount of EUR 369 million while maintaining stable portfolio quality. During the 2024 financial year the Group's credit rating was improved from B- (stable outlook) to a B (stable outlook) issuer as well as senior secured bond rating by Fitch.
Financial Risks
Liquidity risk
The Company manages its cash flow risk by:
- Ensuring its short term liquidity by planning short term cash flows within the Group on regular basis.
- The Group controls its liquidity by managing the amount of funding it attracts through marketplace platforms for loans, which provides the management with greater flexibility to manage the level of borrowings and available cash balances.
- Also, the Group manages its longer-term liquidity needs by obtaining funding from international capital markets, in particular by issuing new Bonds and refinancing existing Bonds before they expire.
Price risk
Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk through its loans and advances to customers, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The key areas of credit risk policy cover the loan granting process (including solvency check of the lessee or the borrower), monitoring methods, as well as decision-making principles. The Group uses financed vehicles as collateral to significantly reduce the credit risk.
The Group operates by applying a clear set of loan granting criteria. These criteria include assessing the credit history of the customer, means of loan repayment and understanding the loan object. The Group takes into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors when assessing the creditworthiness of the customer. Based on this analysis, the Group sets the credit limit for each customer. When the loan agreement has been signed, the Group monitors the loan object and the customer’s solvency. The Group has developed a loan monitoring process that helps quickly spot any possible non- compliance with the provisions of the agreement. The receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is minimized and, where appropriate, sufficient provisions are made. The Group does not have a significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty but is exposed to risks to the group of counterparties having similar characteristics.
Market risk
Currency risk
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management focuses on financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures, which are carried out by the central treasury department (Company’s treasury).
The Group takes on exposure to market risks, which are the risks that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in the interest rate and currency products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility or market rates or prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Currency risk is defined as the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates from its affiliated companies on its financial position and cash flows. The most significant foreign currency exposure (above EUR one million) comes from Armenia, Lesotho, Moldova, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. In most of the markets with exception of Kenya, Uganda and Namibia the Group has evaluated potential hedging options but, due to the costs associated with it, has decided not to pursue a hedging strategy for now and assume potential short to mid-term currency fluctuations with retaining potential upside from strengthening of the mentioned currencies.# Eleving Group S.A. Management Report
Financial risks
Nevertheless, the Group has a practice of pricing in the currency risk within the cost of its products in the most volatile markets from a foreign currency perspective. In addition, the Group is making substantial progress in issuing as many loans as possible in EUR and USD currencies. Having now a significant portfolio of USD loans, mainly linked to Kenya, and Uganda, the Group has started to proactively manage the foreign currency exposure risk towards USD. The proactive management of USD exposure can be observed by forward contract purchases that have started already in 2020 and continued since then. For African countries with significant foreign currency exposure where hedging options are available, the Group’s hedging policy aims to utilize these instruments to reduce the value of assets exposed to currency risk. Currently, hedging options are available in Kenya, Uganda, and Namibia. As a standalone entity, the Company is exposed to Kenyan Shilling (KES) currency risk through a loan issued to an affiliated company in Kenya. This loan, denominated in KES, exposes the Company to currency fluctuations. To mitigate this risk, a EUR-KES derivative arrangement has been concluded with its affiliated company in Latvia.
The Company continuously monitors its intra-group financing arrangements to ensure alignment with market conditions and regulatory standards. The Company is exposed to cash flow risk arising from variations in the timing and amount of cash flows generated by its operating activities. This includes uncertainties related to customer payment behavior, supplier terms, and fluctuations in operating expenses.
Mitigation strategies include:
* Maintaining a liquidity buffer in the form of available cash reserves;
* Monitoring accounts receivable and applying credit control policies to reduce late payments;
* Aligning major investment decisions with the availability of cash resources and projected operating cash flows.
The Company primarily provides financing to entities within the same corporate group and derives its income from interest on intra-group loans. As such, it is not materially exposed to price risk arising from fluctuations in external market prices or interest rates. Interest rates on intra-group loans are determined in accordance with the Group’s transfer pricing policy and are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, including the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and Luxembourg tax requirements. Given the Company’s ability to set and adjust interest rates within the Group, and the absence of significant exposure to third-party financial markets, the price risk is considered to be immaterial.
Interest rate risk
The Company has very limited exposure to interest rate risk since all its borrowings are at fixed rate except borrowings from other creditors which have variable component of EURIBOR included.
Future outlook
- Monitor further developments related to U.S. imposed, but paused for 90 days tariffs and assess potential impact and actions needed by the Company if they come into effect later during the year.
- Roll out consumer loan products in selected vehicle segment markets.
- Maintain existing market positions, with a focus on growing portfolio across all markets
- Analyse opportunities for further growth in new markets
- Focus on efficient capital allocation between the existing markets and products.
- Evaluate possible growth opportunities through portfolio or business acquisitions or new market launches
Going into 2025 the Company and its affiliated undertakings intend to:
* Launch new markets.
* Further scale up electric motorcycle financing products.
* Launch a new financing products across existing Sub-Saharan markets.
* Maintain sufficient and comfortable headroom for financial covenants: Interest Coverage ratio (ICR), Net Leverage ratio and Capitalization ratio
Eleving Group S.A. Corporate Governance Statement has been included in the Management report included in the Eleving Group S.A. consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024, and it is also available to the public electronically on the Eleving Group S.A. webpage www.eleving.com. The Companys's performance is directly linked to overall performance of the whole Group thus in order to grow the business in the near future the overall Group's strategy will rely on three core pillars - organic growth in existing markets with current products, new product roll out in the existing markets and entering new markets. The Group will also evaluate and explore possible growth opportunities through the portfolio and/or business acquisitions. Group’s capital management strategy focuses on maintaining and strengthening its financial covenants, particularly the interest coverage ratio, net leverage ratio, and capitalization ratio. Another strategic goal is to continue increasing the debt financing raised in local currencies in Africa based markets to have a natural hedge and to facilitate further growth in the respective markets. The Group will pursue different avenues to achieve that, such as local bank financing, bond programs, and impact investors. Additionally the Group will explore opportunities to further explore Eurobond markets for a refinance and new capital raise purposes.

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D’ENTREPRISES AGREE
To the Shareholders of Eleving Group Société Anonyme
8-10, Avenue de la Gare
L - 1610 Luxembourg
Report on the audit of the annual accounts
Opinion
We have audited the annual accounts of Eleving Group (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, and the profit and loss account for the year then ended, and notes to the annual accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying annual accounts give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024, and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the annual accounts.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier” (“CSSF”). Our responsibilities under the EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF are further described in the « Responsibilities of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the annual accounts » section of our report. We are also independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International Independence Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the annual accounts, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

R.C.S. Luxembourg B 147.570
TVA LU 23425810
BDO Audit, a société anonyme incorporated in Luxembourg, is a member of BDO Intemational Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. BDO is the brand name for the BDO network and for each of the BDO Member Firms.
Valuation of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings, loans to undertakings with which the undertaking is linked by virtue of participating interests and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings
a) Why the matter was considered to be one of the most significant?
Being the ultimate parent entity of Eleving Group, the Company's assets mainly consist of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings, loans to undertakings with which the undertaking is linked by virtue of participating interests and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings. We refer to the accounting policies in notes 2 and 3 and to the financial disclosure in Notes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 21 to the annual accounts. The carrying amounts of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings, loans to undertakings with which the undertaking is linked by virtue of participating interests and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings amount respectively to EUR 10.618 thousand, EUR 205.351 thousand, EUR 3.254 thousand and EUR 2.210 thousand and represent respectively 4,5%, 86,8%, 1,4% and 0,9% of the Company’s total assets as at 31 December 2024. As at 31 December 2024, the Company has recognized value adjustments amounting to EUR 79 thousand in respect of these assets. At the end of each reporting period, management is required to assess whether there is any permanent reduction in value of financial assets measured at cost.The assessment requires the Management Board to apply judgement, including in respect of the affiliates’ future operating cash flows, growth rates and discount rates, and is therefore associated with significant estimation uncertainty. Therefore, we have associated the impairment assessment in respect of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings with a significant risk of material misstatement and as a such, this area is considered to be a key audit matter.
b) How was the matter addressed in our audit?
Our audit procedures on valuation of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings, loans to undertakings with which the undertaking is linked by virtue of participating interests and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings included but were not limited to:
» Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policy and valuation methods and gaining an understanding of the management’s process and controls related to the identification of the impairment indicators and the impairment test of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings, loans to undertakings with which the undertaking is linked by virtue of participating interests and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings;
e Obtaining the information and documentation used by the Management Board in their assessment (“Management’s Assessment”);
+ With the assistance of our valuation specialists, assessing the appropriateness of impairment testing methods applied against the requirements of the relevant financial reporting standards and current market practice;
+ Obtaining the most recent financial information available on the affiliated undertakings and the borrowers to corroborate the Management's Assessment of their financial performance and of the valuation of the shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings;
e With the assistance of our valuation specialists, evaluating the reasonableness of the Management Board’s judgement as to the existence of impairment indicators. This included, but was not limited to, discussing all of the affiliated undertakings’ performance with the Company's finance function officers, and assessing their strategy and historical profitability;
e Challenging the key assumptions applied in the Management’s Assessment, as follows:
o Terminal growth rate - by reference to historical financial performance of other related companies, assessed quality of budgeting process, past and expected future market developments;
o Discount rates - by assessing whether the cost of debt and cost of equity used are within the reasonable range, given the Group’s industry, risk profile and financial position;
o Other key inputs, such as estimates of free cash flows in the first three years of operations by inquiries of the Management Board and inspection of supporting documentation (including approved budgets) and considering historical financial performance of the respective Company;
e Performing a sensitivity analysis of impairment test’s results to change in key assumptions, such as, primarily, terminal growth and discount rates;
* Assessing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the disclosures in respect of the valuation of shares in affiliated undertakings, loans to affiliated undertakings and amounts owed by affiliated undertakings.
Other information
The Management Board is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information stated in the management report and the Corporate Governance Statement but does not include the annual accounts and our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” thereon.
Our opinion on the annual accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the annual accounts or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Management Board for the annual accounts
The Management Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the annual accounts, and for such internal control as the Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Management Board is responsible for presenting the annual accounts in compliance with the requirements set out in the Delegated Regulation 2019/815 on European Single Electronic Format (“ESEF Regulation”).
In preparing the annual accounts, the Management Board is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management Board either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the annual accounts
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts.
Our responsibility is to assess whether the annual accounts have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements laid down in the ESEF Regulation.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU Regulation N° 537/2014, the Law dated 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
e Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
e Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
e Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management Board.
e Conclude on the appropriateness of Management Board's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” to the related disclosures in the annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
+ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Eleving Group S.A.
Notes to the annual accounts
31 December 2024
Eleving Group S.A., (hereinafter the "Company"), was incorporated on 18 December 2012 as a société anonyme for an unlimited period. The Company is organised under the laws of Luxembourg, in particular the law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended. As part of the major rebranding of the whole group the Company's name was changed in 2021 from Mogo Finance S.A. to Eleving Group S.A. Finally the Company may take any action and perform any operation which is, directly related to its purpose in order to facilitate the accomplishment of such purpose. The Company may also enter into any financial, commercial or other transactions and grant to any company or entity that forms part of the same group of companies as the Company or is affiliated in any way with the Company, including companies or entities in which the Company has a direct or indirect financial or other kind of interest, any assistance, loan, advance or grant in favor of third parties any security or guarantee to secure the obligations of the same, as well as borrow and raise money in any manner and secure by any means the repayment of any money borrowed.

The registered office of the Company is established in Avenue de la Gare 8-10, Luxembourg 1610 and is registered at the Trade and Companies register in Luxembourg under the number B174457.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements under the historical cost convention. Figures are rounded to whole amounts. In accordance with the legal requirements of title II of the law 19 December 2002 as amended, these annual accounts have been drawn up on a standalone basis and subject to approval of the Meeting of the Management Board scheduled for 28 April 2025. In application of section XVI of the law of 10 August 1915 as amended, the Company represents the ultimate parent of a group of undertakings and also prepares consolidated financial statements which are prepared under IFRS as adopted by the EU and which are lodged with the Luxembourg trade register and are available for inspection on Company’s corporate address. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are available as well on its corporate website.
The preparation of annual accounts requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management Board to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the annual accounts in the period in which the assumptions changed. Company's Management Board believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the annual accounts therefore present the financial position and results fairly. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The financial year of the Company starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December of each year.
Significant accounting policies and valuation rules
Accounting policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the law of 19 December 2002, determined and applied by the Management Board. The main valuation rules applied by the Company are the following: Shares in affiliated undertakings and investments held as fixed assets as well as loans to affiliated undertakings and other loans are valued respectively at purchase price / nominal value (loans and claims) including the expenses incidental thereto. In the case of durable depreciation in value according to the opinion of the Management Board, value adjustments are made in respect of financial fixed assets, so that they are valued at the lower figure to be attributed to them at the balance sheet date. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which value adjustments were made have ceased to apply. Loans to affiliated undertakings and other loans are valued respectively at purchase price / nominal value as well, except loans which are issued in such foreign currency for which the Company has signed an agreement for non-delivrable forward foreign exchange with another party to offset the currency risk.
The Company has issued financial instruments (shares and bonds) to finance its operations. Both financial instruments are listed in Nasdaq Riga Baltic Main List and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s Prime Standard.
Comparability of Prior Year figures
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Currency exchange derivatives
The Group will monitor further developments related to U.S. imposed, but paused for 90 days tariffs and assess potential impact and actions needed by the Company if they come into effect later during 2025. Currently there is no impact on going concern of the Company due to these uncertainties.

RCSL Nr. : Matricule :B174457 2012 2226 019# Eleving Group S.A. Notes to the annual accounts 31 December 2024
Given the regional diversification of the Group’s business across three continents and Eastern European region being one of them, it is important to highlight that the Group is not a sanctions target and does not maintain business relations with sanctioned entities. Additionally, two of its affiliated undertakings in Ukraine have been substantially scaled down without a substantial impact on the overall Group results and its affiliated undertakings in Belarus have been fully divested without negative impact on Group's financial results.
As the global economy is entering a third year of non-zero key interest rates environment, the Group has managed to post its strongest ever financial results for year 2023 as well as 2024. The Group’s product structure allows a significant equity build up during the periods of stable growth. Although the Group largely operates with borrowed capital, the interest expense forms only 20.4% (in 2023: 21.3%) from its interest revenue. As at 31 December 2024, the principal of Group’s total borrowings amounted to EUR 339.6 million of which EUR 72.0 million is due for renewal over the following 12 months. The Group’s current assets are EUR 231.7 million, effectively exceeding the principal of borrowings due next 12 months by more than three times. The Group has a track record of successful cash generation and ability to access funding from debt capital markets as well as other sources during protracted periods of economic uncertainty (tested in both 2020, 2022 and onwards), hence the Group is expected to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company's going concern is directly dependant from financial performance of its affiliated undertakings, therefore its vital to evaluate Company's going concern in light of the whole group.
Going concern
3) During June 2024 the Group received a credit rating upgrade from Fitch Ratings upgrading Group from 'B-' to 'B' with a stable outlook. As stated in Fitch’s report, the key drivers for the rating update were improvements in the Group’s performance in the last 24 months, including lower leverage, a longer record of business model stability, and access to debt capital markets. Additionally, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern was substantially improved as a result of a successful IPO in the month of October 2024. During the IPO process the Group issued new shares and attracted additional share premium in the total amount of EUR 29 million and subsequently improved its capitalization, evidence of that is Group’s equity ratio as of the end of 2024 at 22.7% and capitalization ratio as of the end of 2024 at 29.3%. These annual accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.
Financial assets
Currency exchange derivatives are recognized at cost. Liabilities are recognized as provisions if the market value of derivatives decreases below nil.
1) In Ukraine the Group is focused on collection activities only. The collected funds are being partially repatriated with remainder temporarily being housed in the country. The funds collected as well as temporarily housed in country are not material for the Group and its going concern operations.
2) In April 2024, the Group has finished the sale of Belarus entities coupled with a full refinance of Group's liabilities.
Although exposed to external economic environment, the Group’s portfolio quality is substantially at the control of Group itself as it has the ability to adjust the underwriting standards on a country as well as individual product basis. Practically that means the Group would tighten the underwriting criteria for new loans to be issued if external factors (such as inflation or currency volatility) would potentially impact Group's borrowers' credit worthiness, meaning the Group would seek to issue loans primary to those customers with the highest ability to settle their debts in future. As a result of these activities the ratio of impairment expenses to the interest revenue has decreased by 2 percentage points when comparing year 2024 to the year 2023. Importantly the improvement of the mentioned ratio has been achieved despite having higher net portfolio by 16.0% in 2024 versus 2023.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
20 Non-Deliverable Forward Contracts
The Company enters into non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts to hedge foreign exchange risks. These contracts are used primarily to manage currency risk related to forecasted transactions and intercompany balances in currencies such as the Kenyan shilling (KES). NDFs are settled in cash and do not result in physical delivery of the foreign currency. Gains and losses arising from the valuation of these instruments are recorded in the profit and loss.
Recognition of expenses directly attributable to initial public offering (IPO) process
The Company decided to apply analogue accounting principles as described in IAS 31, paragraph 37.
Prepayments
This asset item includes expenditures incurred during the financial year but relating to subsequent financial years.
Debtors
Debtors are valued at their nominal value. They are subject to value adjustments where their recovery is compromised. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.
Provisions
Provisions are intended to cover losses or debts, the岄 nature of which is clearly defined and which, at the date of the balance sheet are either likely to be incurred or certain to be incurred but uncertain as to their amount or the date on which they will arise.
Provisions may also be created to cover charges that have originated in the financial year under review or in a previous financial year, the nature of which is clearly defined and which at the date of the balance sheet are either likely to be incurred or certain to be incurred but uncertain as to their amount or the date on which they will arise.
These mainly contain expenditures for issued bonds and are amortized during the lifetime of the bonds linearly.
Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains its books and records in EUR. Transactions expressed in currencies other than EUR are translated into EUR at the exchange rate effective at the time of the transaction. Formation expenses and long-term assets expressed in currencies other than EUR are translated into EUR at the exchange rate effective at the time of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, these assets remain translated at historical exchange rates except for assets denominated in such foreign currency for which an offestting non-delivrable forward foreign exchange agreement is signed. In such cases assets are valued at exchange rates of period end, date, as the hedging instrument. Cash at bank is translated at the exchange rate effective at the balance sheet date. Exchange losses and realized gains are recorded in the profit and loss account of the year. Other assets and liabilities are translated separately respectively at the lower between the value converted at the historical exchange rate or the value determined on the basis of the exchange rates effective at the balance sheet date. Solely the unrealised exchange losses are recorded in the profit and loss account. The exchange gains are recorded in the profit and loss account at the moment of their realisation.
Own shares
The Company records purchased own shares at purchase value which was market value at the time of the purchase.
Own held bonds
The Company records purchase of its own issued bonds as a reduction of amount of bond liabilities in nominal value. Any gain or loss from repurchase of bonds is recognized in profit and loss account.
Significant accounting policies and valuation rules (continued)
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Contingencies
Expenses which were incurred by the Company during the IPO process and where directly attributable to attracting the equity funding were accounted as a reduction of share premium.
Related parties
The parties are considered related when one party has a possibility to control the other one or has significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, the Management Board has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the annual accounts:
Creditors
The preparation of the annual accounts requires the Management Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of the annual accounts relate to fair value of employee share options, valuation of financial assets and measurement of contingent consideration. Although these estimates are based on the Management Board's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
Significant accounting policies and valuation rules (continued)
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Valuation of financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s shares in affiliated undertakings and loans to affiliated undertakings are reviewed at each reporting date by the Company's Management Board to determine whether there is a durable depreciation in value and value adjustments need to be made in respect of these assets.# Eleving Group S.A.
Notes to the annual accounts
31 December 2024
Related parties of the Company are shareholders who could control or who have significant influence over the Company in accepting operating business decisions, key management personnel of the Company and close family members of any above-mentioned persons, as well as entities over which those persons have a control or significant influence, including subsidiaries and associates.
Employees of the Company's subsidiaries have entered share option agreements with the Company or the Company’s shareholders. Under the agreements, respective employees obtain rights to acquire Company’s or certain subsidiaries’ shares under several graded vesting scenarios. The respective option would be classified as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction in the Company’s annual accounts. In estimating the value for the share options, the most appropriate valuation model would depend on the terms and conditions of the grant.
Contingent liabilities are recognized in the annual accounts only if the related outflows are deemed probable. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the annual accounts but is disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Note 3 - Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The Company's Management Board has estimated that the value of the options, due to the specifics of the share option agreements, would not be materially different than zero. If it were materially above zero, the Company would have to record expenses related to this transaction and recognize a respective component of equity. The Management Board has considered that the particular features mentioned in the option agreements, such as buy-back options, dividend policy of the Company, and related pledges posed upon the borrowings, effectively indicate that the value of the employee options would not be materially different than zero.
The Company does not offer its employees a defined benefit plan and/or a defined contribution plan.
Employee share options
Creditors are recorded at their reimbursement value. Where the amount repayable on account is greater than the amount received, the difference is shown as an asset and is written off over the period of the debt based on a linear/actuarial method.
