CEO MAUNU LEHTIMÄKI

As in the start of the year, the third quarter was marked by an exceptionally weak market environment for investments. All major asset classes, from government bonds to corporate bonds and equities, fell in value compared to the beginning of the year. Even gold, traditionally seen as a safe haven, lost value. The fall in prices was fuelled by the war in Ukraine, rising geopolitical tensions, higher energy prices, especially for electricity and natural gas in Europe, as well as accelerating inflation and higher key policy rates. The appreciation of the US dollar against almost all other currencies added to the pressure on the global economy. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that around 40 percent of world trade is denominated in dollars, regardless of whether the US is a trading partner, which means that dollar appreciation raises import prices, increases government deficits and raises debt servicing costs. Several emerging market countries have recently come close to defaulting and the situation is still expected to worsen.

In the third quarter, Evli's business reflected the historically weak performance of the capital markets. Net revenue fell by around 19 percent to EUR 20.5 million. The Group's operating profit decreased by around 41 percent to EUR 7.8 million. Fee income from alternative investment products and the incentives business increased, but fee income from traditional funds and the Corporate Finance unit were well below the previous year. The decline in fee income was driven by a weaker market and operating environment, which caused asset values to fall, redemptions to increase, and M&A activity to slow down.

In January-September, Evli's return on equity was good at 27.3 percent (46.0%). The ratio of recurring income to operating expenses was 134 percent (141%). The Group's solvency and liquidity were at an excellent level.

Operating income in the Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment decreased by 21 percent to EUR 16.3 million. Client assets under management fell to EUR 14.4 billion (EUR 16.1 billion), reflecting the weak market development and increased net redemptions. Evli Fund Management Company's investment fund capital, including alternative investment products, amounted to EUR 10.1 billion (EUR 12.0 billion). Net redemptions of traditional investment funds amounted to around EUR 1 billion for the year to date and were mainly in short-term fixed income funds, corporate bond funds and European equities. However, fee income from alternative investment products increased by 34 percent, already accounting for around 27 percent of total fund fee income.

Operating income in the Advisory and Corporate Clients segment increased by 14 percent to EUR 3.6 million.

Invoicing in the Corporate Finance unit remained at the same level as in the comparison period and amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.4 million) in the quarter. The unit has a good mandate base and the outlook is reasonable despite the weakened operating environment. Revenue in the Incentives business increased to EUR 1.9 million (EUR 1.6 million). The company has continued to win new clients for incentive plan design and administration, and the outlook is good.

The key drivers of Evli's strategy, international sales and alternative investment products, developed in two different ways during the quarter. International sales, with Evli's corporate bond funds at its core, suffered in the year to date from rising interest rates and general market uncertainty. Redemptions by international clients amounted to almost EUR 670 million and the share of international clients in Evli's total fund capital, including alternative investment products, fell to 21 percent (25%).

Sales of alternative investment products in the third quarter amounted to a total of EUR 111 million (EUR 140 million). The sales were spread across several funds, with the Evli Infrastructure II fund, which had its first closing, attracting the largest subscription volume. We expect demand for alternative investment products to remain at a good level also during the rest of the year.

Responsibility is one of Evli's strategic focus areas. In the third quarter, as part of our work in line with our climate goals, we signed the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, which will further improve our climate change milestones and reporting. In addition to the climate commitment, we strengthened our work on biodiversity by becoming the first Finnish asset manager to join the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures forum.

After the quarter, a corporate reorganisation took place as planned, in which EAB Group Plc merged with Evli Plc. The combined company is one of Finland's leading providers of investment and wealth management services, with a broad range of expertise and a client base that includes institutional, corporate and private clients. The combined company has a strong financial position and excellent prospects for future growth in line with Evli's strategy. Its larger size will allow Evli to operate its business operationally more efficiently. For our clients, the combined company will offer a broader range of products and services and more comprehensive expert resources.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

The first nine months of 2022 were a very exceptional period. Although the year started with positive market sentiment supported by strong economic growth, the situation changed completely in February when Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine. The escalation of geopolitical risks over the summer and autumn, the explosive rise in energy prices and accelerating inflation, together with rapidly rising interest rates, increased fears and uncertainty about the future. As a result, valuation levels of equities, fixed income investments and real assets decreased and the fear of a coming recession increased.

During the spring, commodity and energy prices in particular came under upward pressure from tightening supply, Western sanctions on Russia and a fall in output following the start of war. Pressure only increased during the summer and autumn as gas supplies to Europe were reduced and challenging weather conditions limited Europe's own energy production. Price pressures spread more widely to consumer prices during the summer and autumn. In order to curb inflation, both the US and European central banks raised their policy rates at an exceptionally rapid pace during the year, which was particularly reflected in a drop in the value of fixed income investments. Despite these measures, inflation has remained high, suggesting that further rate hikes are likely.

There were no safe havens in the investment markets during the beginning of the year. In stock markets, US equities (S&P 500) fell by 23.9 percent and European equities (Stoxx 600) by 18.1 percent during the first nine months of the year. Over the same period, Finnish shares (OMX Helsinki Cap) fell by 21.0 percent.

Fixed income markets were also negative in January-September. Higher-rated corporate bonds fell by 15.2 percent and euro area government bonds by 16.7 percent. Meanwhile, lower-rated high yield bonds fell by 13.6 percent. The euro depreciated by 13.8 percent against the dollar and reached parity.

Market performance 1-9/2022

DEVELOPMENT OF REVENUE AND RESULT

Reflecting the general market development, Evli Group's net revenue decreased by 18 percent from the comparison period to EUR 66.7 million (EUR 81.2 million). The negative development of net revenue was mainly due to lower fees from advisory business as well as a significant decrease in performance fees, which are dependent on the development of investment activities, versus the comparison period. The performance fees of the review period amounted to EUR 0.5 million (EUR 7.0 million). The net fee income for the Group fell by 16 percent compared with the reference period to EUR 65.4 million (EUR 77.5 million). Income from own investment activities amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 3.3 million), including income from securities trading and currency brokerage.

Total costs for the review period, including depreciation, amounted to EUR 41.1 million (EUR 42.0 million). Expenses include EUR 1.5 million of non-recurring costs related to the corporate transactions. During the last quarter of the year, Evli will incur non-recurring costs related to the merger of EAB Group Plc in terms of personnel and administrative costs. The Group's personnel expenses amounted to EUR 24.2 million (EUR 26.3 million), including an estimate of performance bonuses for the personnel. The Group's administrative expenses amounted to EUR 12.7 million (EUR 11.2 million). The Group's depreciation and impairment amounted to EUR 3.7 million (EUR 3.7 million). Other operating expenses were EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.8 million). Evli's expense/income ratio was 0.62 (0.52).

The operating profit decreased from the corresponding period by 35 percent and was EUR 25.8 million (EUR 39.7 million). Operating profit margin was 38.7 percent (48.8%). The net result for the period considered was EUR 20.7 million (EUR 32.2 million). Due to the weakened result, the Group's return on equity decreased to 27.3 percent (46.0%).

At the beginning of April, Evli Plc was created as a result of a partial demerger. As part of the overall arrangement, Evli made a significant investment in another entity created by the arrangement, Fellow Bank Plc. The investment is of a long-term nature and is not related to the Group's operational activities. For these reasons, the company presents the result of the valuation of the investment as a separate item in the statement of other comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9. During the period, the change in value of the investment amounted to EUR -3.7 million.

BUSINESS AREAS

WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND INVESTOR CLIENTS

The Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment offers services to present and future high net worth private individuals and institutions. The comprehensive product and service selection includes asset management services, fund products offered by Evli and its partners, various capital market services and alternative investment products. The segment also includes execution and operations activities that directly support these core activities.

Discretionary asset management

Assets under management decreased from the level of the comparison period due to the weak market development at the beginning of the year. At the end of the review period, Evli had EUR 4.9 billion (EUR 5.8 billion) in discretionary asset management assets, which includes both traditional and digital services.

According to the Kantar Prospera's "External Asset Management 2022 Finland" survey published in summer, Evli's institutional asset management was the most used asset manager in Finland. According to the survey, Evli was rated the second-best asset manager in Finland in terms of overall quality. Evli has been ranked in the top positions in the survey for 10 consecutive years in terms of overall quality; first in six years and second in four years.

Traditional mutual funds

During the period under review, mutual funds received more redemptions than subscriptions, as a result of which the net sales of the funds remained clearly negative. In cumulative terms, net redemptions of EUR - 1.0 billion (EUR 1.4 billion) were made to Evli's mutual funds in January-September. According to Evli's strategy, the goal is to increase the international sales of its investment products. In the review period, net subscriptions from foreign investors amounted to EUR - 0.7 billion (EUR 0.6 billion).

The returns of Evli's fixed income funds remained negative in the review period due to higher interest rates. The best performing funds in relation to the benchmark index were Evli Euro Government Bond and Evli European High Yield. The performance of equity funds was also negative in the review period due to the general market situation. The Evli Japan and Evli Equity Factor USA funds performed best in relation to the benchmark index.

In January-September, 33 percent of Evli's traditional mutual funds outperformed their benchmarks. In a three-year review, 48 percent of mutual funds outperformed the benchmark. In Morningstar's qualitative ranking, Evli ranked as Finland's top fund management company at the end of the period with 3.77 stars.

The combined capital of traditional investment funds managed by the Evli Fund Management Company was EUR 8.2 billion (EUR 10.6 billion). Of this, approximately EUR 2.3 billion was invested in equity funds (EUR 3.2 billion), EUR 5.8 billion in fixed income funds (EUR 7.2 billion) and EUR 0.1 billion in balanced funds (EUR 0.2 billion). At the end of September, EUR 2.1 billion of Evli's fund capital came from clients outside of Finland (EUR 3.1 billion), when regarding direct mutual fund investments.

Responsibility is a central part to Evli's asset management. At the end of the review period, the average ESG rating of Evli's funds was "AA" (source: MSCI ESG database).

Alternative investment products

The strategically important sales of alternative investment products were in line with expectations during the review period.

During the third quarter of the year, Evli issued the Evli Infrastructure II fund, which is a continuation to the previously very successful Evli Infrastructure I fund.

Subscriptions and commitments to alternative investment products totalled approximately EUR 111 million during the third quarter. Of the subscriptions and commitments, approximately EUR 36 million were allocated to private equity products, split evenly between Evli Private Equity I and Evli Private Equity III. The new Evli Infrastructure II fund raised approximately EUR 72 million in its first closing. Furthermore, the Evli Rental Yield fund and Evli Leveraged Loan funds attracted subscriptions of around EUR 3 million and EUR 1 million respectively.

Alternative assets under management

Other investment products

The challenging market environment was also reflected in the commissions received from brokerage of other investment products. During the period under review, commissions from brokerage activities fell clearly from the comparison period.

Financial performance

In January-September the net revenue of the Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment decreased from the comparison period due to the weak market development, the fund redemptions and lower

performance-based fees. The net revenue of the segment decreased by 14 percent from the previous year and was EUR 53.9 million (EUR 62.8 million). The performance-related fees from asset management and funds amounted to EUR 0.5 (EUR 7.0 million).

In July-September the net revenue of the Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment decreased by 21 percent compared to the review period and was EUR 16.3 million (EUR 20.6 million). The decrease in income was mainly due to the negative development of the assets under management due to net redemptions and the weak market performance.

Development of client assets under management

Client assets under management consist of direct investments in mutual funds, discretionary asset management and assets managed through Evli's subsidiaries and associated companies.

Assets under management decreased from the comparison period due to negative net sales and the market development. At the end of September, the Group's total net assets under management amounted to EUR 14.4 billion (EUR 16.1 billion).

At the end of September, assets under discretionary management amounted to EUR 4.9 billion (EUR 5.8 billion). Correspondingly, direct investments in Evli's traditional mutual funds were EUR 5.4 billion (EUR 7.1 billion) at the end of the review period. The assets under management in alternative investment products was EUR 1.9 billion (EUR 1.3 billion). Assets managed through subsidiaries and associated companies stayed at the previous year's level and were EUR 2.1 billion (EUR 2.1 billion).

Assets under management (bn. €)

ADVISORY AND CORPORATE CLIENTS

The Advisory and Corporate Clients segment provides corporate and capital management services, including advisory services on acquisitions and divestments, IPOs and share issues. The segment also provides planning and administration of compensation and incentive plans and corporate analysis services for listed companies.

M&A transactions

Client activity in the advisory business remained reasonable throughout the review period, but signs of slowing down are noticeable. However, the challenging market environment was reflected in the execution of mandates, in particular in fundraising transactions, which were postponed or cancelled for the time being. Due to the slowdown of client activity, turnover for the period under review was below the level of the comparison period.

Evli's announced mandates for the third quarter:

  • Sale of Zington to VASS Group
  • Sale of Swevet to MWI Animal Health
  • Sale of Triggerfish IO Digital
  • Reverse IPO of Vimab Group onto Nasdaq First North Stockholm
  • Acquisition of Bredbyns Schakt AB by Netel

Incentive systems

At the end of the review period, the company had around 130 incentive programs under management, most of which were from Finnish companies. Evli annually advises around 160 companies on compensation planning mandates. Sales to both Swedish listed and domestic unlisted companies increased during the period. In the Finnish client base, activity remained high, driven in particular by high demand for employee share issues.

Net revenue for the Incentives business for the period under review was EUR 7.2 million (EUR 5.8 million), positively impacted by both the increase in the number of client companies compared to the reference period and the continued growth in cross-selling of solutions for incentive planning and management. In addition, the interest of existing clients in more comprehensive plans, such as share savings plans for the entire personnel, continued to grow. The revenue from the companies' top executive and board of directors' compensation reports are also focused to the latter half of the year.

Financial performance

In January-September, the net revenue in the Advisory and Corporate Clients segment decreased from the previous year and amounted to EUR 11.5 million (EUR 14.8 million). Revenue growth was negatively impacted by the decrease in advisory fees from M&A transactions. By contrast, commissions in the incentive business continued to grow and rose to a higher level than in the comparison period. Significant fluctuations in revenue from one quarter to the next are typical of the segment's M&A activities.

In July-September the net revenue of the Advisory and Corporate Clients segment increased from the comparison period and was EUR 3.6 million (EUR 3.1 million). The positive development was the result of favourable development of the incentive business along with the increased number of customers.

PERSONNEL

At the end of September, the Group had 252 permanent employees. In addition, the Group employed 44

RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility is one of Evli's strategic focus areas. In Evli's most important business area, asset management, responsibility factors are integrated into investment activities, making responsible investment a systematic part of portfolio management. Investments made by Evli's mutual funds are also monitored for potential breaches of standards, and in asset management Evli engage with companies, both independently and in cooperation with other investors.

Responsible investing

As part of the Climate work Evli signed the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative in the summer of 2022. The initiative requires several actions from the signees. Asset managers must fulfil requirements such as setting intermediate targets and pursue yearly progress reporting. Asset managers must also set a clear roadmap and engage in active ownership. In addition to the climate pledge, Evli strengthened its study related to biodiversity by joining the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures Forum in the summer of 2022, being also the first Finnish asset manager to join. The forum aims to develop a reporting framework for investors to understand the impact and dependencies of their activities and nature-related risks and opportunities. Through these new initiatives and continuous development of the activities, Evli strives to take the effects of the investments into account even more widely and further develop operations.

During the third quarter, Evli engaged with four companies. The engagement cases were related to climate targets, companies' sustainability work in general and good governance. Evli, together with other investors, also signed a letter to governments, 2022 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis, which encourages:

  • to ensure limiting global temperature rise to 1.5˚C - taking early action to ensure that their 2030 greenhouse gas emissions are aligned

  • contributing to the reduction in non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions

  • scaling up the provision of climate finance

  • and strengthen climate disclosures across the financial system through mandatory TCFD-aligned reporting, requiring science-based climate transition plans, and coordinating and driving consistency across global financial regulation.

Evli also actively continued its work in accordance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) in terms of both preparation for reporting and data capabilities.

BUSINESS RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The most significant risks for the Group in the near term are the general market development and the impact of the changing operating environment and inflation on Evli's businesses. The performance of the asset management business is mainly influenced by the development of assets under management, which depends on, among others, the development of capital markets and the general demand for investment products. On the other hand, alternative investment products in particular are based on long-term agreements which provide a steady income stream. Profit development is also influenced by the realisation of performance-related fee income linked to the successful management of client assets. Performance fees can vary widely from quarter to quarter and from financial year to financial year.

General market developments also have an impact on brokerage and advisory mandates. In the Corporate Finance business, potential changes in market confidence among investors and corporate managers may lead to project delays or interruptions.

In addition to its core business, Evli has granted investment loans to its clients, as well as owning equity and mutual fund investments. The most significant risks related to its own investment activities are liquidity, market and interest rate risks. These risks are managed through limits set by Evli Plc's Board of Directors, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. The company's investments are made on the basis that they must not endanger the Group's results or solvency. Despite good supervision, investment activities always involve a certain degree of risk, which may result in significant quarterly fluctuations in the returns from investment activities.

A more detailed description of operational risks is provided in the carve-out financial statements of Evli Plc, available at evli.com.

CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE

During the second quarter of the year, Evli established a new company in Sweden, Evli AB, to promote the sale of its investment products in the local market. The company acts as Evli's tied agent in Sweden, focusing on the sale of both traditional and alternative funds to local investors.

EVENTS TAKING PLACE AFTER REVIEW PERIOD

As previously announced, EAB Group Plc merged with Evli Plc on October 1, 2022. The combined company forms Evli, which offers even more comprehensive wealth management products and services. The integration between the companies has progressed according to plan.

OUTLOOK FOR 2022 UNCHANGED

The year 2022 has continued in a challenging market, due to heightened interest rate and inflation fears, increased geopolitical risks and a declining market.

Despite the increased risks, we estimate that the operating result for 2022 will be at a good level.

Explanation of fair value hierarchies

Level 1

Fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2

Fair values measured using directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than those included in level 1.

Level 3

Fair values measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Level 1 of the hierarchy includes listed shares, mutual funds and derivatives listed on exchanges, and debt securities that are traded in active OTC- and public markets.

Shares and participations classified in level 3 are usually instruments which are not publicly traded, like venture capital funds, real estate funds, equities and equity rights. Derivatives in level 2 are forwards whose values are calculated with inputs like quoted interest rates and currency rates. Derivative valuations for level 3 instruments contain inputs (volatility and dividend estimate) which are not directly observable in the market. The values are calculated with pricing models widely in use, like Black-Scholes. Valuations received from the counterparty of the OTC trade are classified as level 3 valuations. There is no significant change in the option fair values, if the volatility estimates are changed to publicly obtained historical volatilities. Debt securities valuations that are obtained from markets that are not fully active, have a fair value level hierarchy of 2. Level 3 valuations for debt securities are valuations for illiquid securities that are received directly from the arranger of the issue, or the valuation is calculated by Evli.

Change in fair value of financial instruments that are valued in other comprehensive income

At the beginning of April, Evli Plc was created as a result of a partial demerger. As part of the overall arrangement, Evli made a significant investment in another entity created by the arrangement, Fellow Bank Plc. The investment is of a long-term nature and is not related to the Group's operational activities. For these reasons, the company presents the result of the valuation of the investment as a separate item in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9. The table below illustrates the impact of the revaluation on the Group's statement of comprehensive income for the period. The shares are included in other shares level 1.

The assets are classified as Level 1 if the receivable is low risk or the credit risk of the receivable has not grown materially since the date of issuing the item. If the credit risk for a financial asset has increased materially since the issuing date, the asset will be transferred to level 2. Individual loans whose values have verifiably declined are recognized in level 3.

The expected credit loss is a probability-weighted calculation formula in which the parameters used are probability of default and the potential total loss when the receivable's collateral is realized. The parameters are generally measured on group levels, and financial assets are classified of assets with similar risks and collateral. The probability of default of counterparties is primarily measured with statistical data based on the relative amount of problem receivables in the credit stock on a national level. For sales receivables, a simplified procedure is used. The Group has no assets in the measured at fair value through comprehensive income' group, and the debt securities are not valued at amortized cost.

For customer credits, eight transfer from level 1 to level 2 have been made during 1.1-30.9.2022. There are no payment instalments that are over 90 days late. The expected credit loss is recognized in the income statement.
