Main 2023 Results

Strong and long term oriented shareholder base

Turnover witnessing a strong growth story

2023 annual growth rate (27%) significantly higher than the market average (+1%)

Net Income: high profitability from the operations

Improvement in profitability level in the last 3 years

Focus on Asset Quality and Digital Factoring

A low risk model with a best in class asset quality

DEFINITION OF DEFAULT (DOD)

In accordance with the interpretation provided for pro-solvendo transactions by the Bank of Italy following the 2022 inspection, in 4Q 2023 Generalfinance has applied a new definition of default (DoD) under which past due amounts are to be counted from the moment they exceed 1% of the relevant exposure (and are higher than 100 euro or 500 euro depending on the type of the counterparty), even if there is a buffer between the nominal value of the receivable and the company's exposure.

However, there was no impact in Q4 2023 deriving from the application of the new DoD, thanks to a proactive collection and credit management activities on certain exposures.

However, due to the new DoD, it is possible that past due amounts may experience greater volatility in the future.

Cost of Risk has been computed as Credit Risk Adjustments / Annual Disbursed Loans;

2021 2022 2023

Gross NPE («Non-Performing Exposure») Ratio has been computed as Gross NPE / Gross Loans to Customers

Default Rate and NPE Ratio constantly improving

Default rate: NPE inflow of the year / loans disbursement flow of the year Assifact NPE Ratio (%) as at September, 30 2023

Collection performance: a strategic delivery to our Customers

Generalfinance boasts an excellent portfolio quality, both in terms of Payment Conditions and Payment Delays

Company's DSO expressing a very low duration of the portfolio

A unique business model, leveraging the factoring features

The peculiarity of Generalfinance's business model is the choice of Seller–Debtor, where clients (Sellers) typically have a low credit rating (turnaround situation) while the Debtors underlying customer loans refer to a high credit rating ("investment grade")

Notes: 1) Generalfinance data refers to December 31, 2023 (LTM); Assifact data refers to September 30, 2023; 2) Assifact data net of household debtors.

A strategic asset: the proprietary digital platform

A very simple balance sheet with a strong capital position…

RWA Density: RWA / Total Asset

Note: CET1 Ratio and Total Capital Ratio calculated taking into account the net profit of 2023 and total dividends to be distributed (payout 50% of net profit)

…coupled with a robust funding and liquidity position

Note: Commercial Papers included in «Fixed Rate»

Liquidity Position: excluding pledged accounts equal to 5.0 €mln

Securitization: included only for an amount equal to the credit lines approved by banks

Net interest Income fully «hedged» against interest rates volatility

Notes: (1) Calculated as interest expense / average financial liabilities (current and previous year); (2) Spread: average interest rate on seller – average cost of funding (3) (Interest income + delayed payment Interest + other interest)/ average loans (current and previous year); (4) Calculated as Net Interest income/ average loans (current and previous year)

Net commission income, the primary source of profitability

▪ Net Commission Income ~75% of the Net Banking Income

  • Commission Income/Turnover slightly lower YoY, taking into consideration the different mix of the portfolio (Corporate Sellers vs Retail Sellers)
  • Stable commission expense rate thank to optimization of insurance costs and banking fees

Cost / Income reflecting the efficiency of the operating machine

Note: (1)Other net revenues and risk charges; (2) Operating Costs / Net Banking Income.

Operating costs 2022 Adjusted (net of IPO costs): 11.6 €mln

Cost income ratio 2022 Adjusted (net of IPO costs): 37.7%

Closing Remarks

2023 year confirms a growing trend, substantially in line with the business plan:

  • Profitability level showing significant growth: net profit up +38% (+25% on adjusted basis)
  • Excellent asset quality confirms our conservative risk policy, even taking into consideration the new DoD interpretation
  • Further reduction of the cost income ratio, expected to drop again thanks to the very good operating leverage
  • An updated organization oriented to risk control and business
  • Macroeconomic evolution and more difficult environment for SME lending support our strategy
  • New shareholders base very positive for future growth, zeroing "overhang risk" associated with our stock and potentially helping new projetcs (expansion abroad)

New steps ahead to further support our numbers:

  • New sellers pipeline set to push a stronger growth ahead
  • Robust and diversified funding structure to support future growth
  • Strong Capital ratios (TCR > 15%) allowing a sound capital buffer for growth even exceeding strategic plan horizon
  • Expanding Generalfinance abroad: further steps towards the conclusion of the analysis over foreign market
  • Net Income 2024 guidance: >20M; potential effects of new DoD (provisions) to take into account
