humm group Chief Executive Officer Rebecca James said:
“We are extremely pleased with the growth momentum across the Group considering key markets were predominantly in lockdown during the quarter. BNPL growth remains strong with humm ‘Little things’ in Australia up 157% in 1Q22 which more than offset the smaller growth of 3% in ‘Big things’ which was impacted by lockdowns.
“The Company’s overall volume growth of 40% highlights the advantages of our diversified portfolio offering products able to finance smaller and larger items seamlessly, for both consumers and SMEs.”

humm group
humm group total customers of 2.7m as at 30 September 2021, up 6.1% on pcp. This growth was a combination of a strong increase of BNPL customers by 16.0% on pcp, offset by a decrease in customers associated with a number of grandfathered consumer products.
humm group total transaction volume of $763.3m in 1Q22, up 39.6% (1Q21: $546.8m), reflecting the benefits of a diversified portfolio of products that continues to build momentum. Credit performance (gross write offs net of recoveries) of $24.0m, up 9.3% (1Q21: $22.0m) reflects the growth in receivables. Net loss / average net receivables (“ANR”) decreased 10 bps.
BNPL
BNPL, comprising humm , bundll and humm pro, volume of $308.8m in 1Q22 was up 44.5% (1Q21: $213.6m) with strong volume growth in humm ‘Little things’ in Australia, humm New Zealand and bundll .
humm continues to benefit from being able to finance smaller and larger items seamlessly. While higher income generating ‘Big Things’ volume growth of 2.5% on pcp was impacted by store closures in NSW, Victoria and Auckland, ‘Little things’ volume increased 156.8% on pcp, predominantly driven by ecommerce transactions during lockdown.
Net loss / ANR of 5.9% in 1Q22 increased 120bps on pcp and represents a temporary increase as new shorter duration BNPL products and new partnerships are embedded. Management is forecasting the net loss / ANR for BNPL in 2Q22 to be in a range of 4.5% to 5.0%.
Finally, humm group announced a number of partnerships including Velocity Frequent Flyer ( bundll ) and Mitre 10 & Home Hardware ( humm pro).
Cards
Australia Cards volume of $95.5m in 1Q22 was up 23.7% (1Q21: $77.2m). While an improvement on last year, this segment continues to be impacted by international border closures, with volumes still below 1Q20. Net loss / ANR of 5.0% increased 120bps on pcp, and is attributable to a large decrease in receivables from the paydown of the discontinued Once and Lombard products. humm 90, the current cards product in Australia, net loss decreased in 1Q22 on pcp.

New Zealand Cards volume of $153.9m in 1Q22 was broadly flat (1Q21: $154.5m) despite being heavily impacted by the lockdowns in New Zealand during 1Q22. Net loss / ANR of 3.1% decreased 130bps on pcp and reflects more normalised performance.
Commercial and Leasing
Commercial and Leasing volume of $205.1m was up 102.2% (1Q21: $101.4m), with the rebuilt and transformed Commercial operations delivering another record quarter. This was predominantly driven by the continued demand for capital equipment to support infrastructure growth.
flexicommercial continues to deliver growth while improving credit quality, with 1Q22 net loss / ANR of 0.9%, a decrease of 30bps on pcp.
