FLEXIGROUP ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT NEW FUNDING FACILITY

  • New facility to fund both existing Australian Cards business and growth strategy

  • Secured on significantly improved terms

  • New arrangements will deliver improved returns for Australian Cards business and lower capital support levels

FlexiGroup Limited (ASX:FXL) (“FlexiGroup” or “the Group”) today announced the completion of a new $550 million funding facility with a major US bank with extensive global operations.

The Group has been able to secure this funding based on its scale, reputation, processes and compliance record and was subject to thorough due diligence.

The facility has been put in place to fund both the existing portfolio of FlexiGroup’s Australian Cards business as well as providing for the continued growth in the business. The facility will replace existing funding facilities for the Australian Cards portfolio.

Chief Executive Symon Brewis-Weston said the new facility was an important step for the Group as it had been secured on significantly improved terms than existing facilities as well as allowing for lower capital support levels.

“The new arrangements will improve returns for our Australian Cards business and allow for future growth in line with our strategy to double the Cards portfolio over the next three years which we outlined in our recent investor presentation.”

Having delivered exceptional growth of around 60% in Australian Cards in FY17, FlexiGroup’s vision is to build a $1 billion business over the next three years.

The new facility will have an initial 3 year term and be effective from 30 June 2017 with the potential for it be expanded to meet the growth of the Australian Cards business and to be extended beyond the initial term.
