Seasonally strong quarter with record new sales
Seasonally strong second quarter with more to come in the second half of the year
During the second quarter we delivered on the previously communicated seasonal performance step-up, whilst also continuing to execute our transformation trajectory. Compared to the same quarter last year, we grew cash revenues by 12 per cent with all segments contributing positively. This continued performance improvement was even more visible in cash EBIT, up 13 per cent, and cash EPS, up 61 per cent over the same period. Our leverage ratio at 4.0 times is temporarily elevated due to a strong investment quarter, the dividend payment and adverse FX impact.
The second quarter saw record new servicing sales, with the value of new recurring contracts up more than 60 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. We won net 555 new medium and large clients. We are particularly encouraged that this commercial success is also geographically very broad based.
While the overall macroeconomic picture is increasingly unsettled, we continue to deliver on organic growth and transformation towards ONE Intrum with no visible adverse impact from the rising economic uncertainty.
We are well prepared to support our clients and capture increasing servicing opportunities
The second quarter saw a continued deterioration in the macroeconomic environment across Europe. Inflation continues to rise with consumer prices in the Euro area posting an annualised increase of 8.6 per cent. At the same time borrowing costs for households and businesses also sharply increased. Against this backdrop it is not surprising that consumer confidence in the EU continues to fall with households' outlook on their future financial situation hitting a record low in June. At the same time Stage 2 loans on banks' balance sheets continued to increase to 9.1 per cent at the end of the first quarter. Our recently published European Payment Report also indicates that businesses are expecting late payments to grow significantly in the coming months, following the rising inflation and interest rates. This picture is consistent with numerous client conversations pointing towards increasing new case inflows as well as an expanded need for our services going forward.
From a capacity and capability perspective and through our ongoing ONE Intrum program, we are ready to support our clients to help them resolve increasing volumes of late payments, finding equitable and sustainable solutions whilst returning customers to financial health.
Strong performance in Strategic Market and Portfolio Investments, improving fundamentals in CMS
Strategic Markets continue to perform strongly with both performance improvements as well as increasing assets under management (AuM) driving results. During the first half of the year, we increased AuM in Italy and Spain by a gross total of c. SEK 40 bn, highlighting the strength of our franchise.
Portfolio Investments outperformed the active forecast by 15 per cent in the second quarter. Payment plans continue their solid performance trajectory with settlements becoming somewhat more difficult to complete. This development is consistent with the eventual, gradual normalisation in outperformance to our historical range of 5 to 10 per cent compared to active forecast we have mentioned since the beginning of the year.
CMS continues to be affected by lower like-for-like inflows compared to 2019 and the onset of the pandemic, particularly in higher value financial services claims, impacting the second quarter results. However, also given significant commercial wins over the last 12 months, overall AuM, value of cases and number of cases at the end of the quarter are significantly up across key geographies. While the challenging macro environment described above is expected to negatively impact collectability, revenue conversion and costs, these factors are expected to be substantially outweighed by the larger AuM as well as increasing case inflows, driving profitability and margin improvements in due course.
Expect a slow summer quarter with a strong finish to the year
Looking forward we expect a seasonally slower summer quarter and a strong finish to the year in line with a fully normalised seasonality pattern. In the current turbulent environment Intrum's diversified and macro hedged business model delivers stability across the business cycle.
In Strategic Market, we foresee continued strong performance,
"We continue to deliver on organic growth and transformation"
particularly in the fourth quarter based on continued performance improvements and growing AuM. CMS is set to benefit from increasing new case inflows later in the year in the context of the more challenging macroeconomic environment and associated impact on consumer and small business finances. Portfolio Investments is also expected to perform well, including the above-mentioned normalised outperformance over time.
In the second half of the year, we expect a more moderate investment pace in light of increasing macro uncertainty, as well as a continued growth in cash EBITDA. This will become particularly evident in the fourth quarter where the leverage ratio is expected to be around 3.5 times, in line with our financial targets.
As always, we continue to execute our strategy of organic growth and ONE Intrum transformation with the full benefit realisation expected over the coming 18 months.

Key financial metrics
Cash metrics
Cash metrics help us present a transparent view of performance for the business in which we operate. Our servicing business area is not capital intensive but in our investment business area we utilise capital in terms of our investments. These investments and our servicing activities generate cash revenues and require cash expenses. When adjusting for cash items like replenishment capex, other capex, cash net financials and cash tax, we have a performance measurement of cash return on invested capital (Cash RoIC) and cash earnings per share (Cash EPS) on a recurring basis.
Cash metrics are central to our financial targets set out at the Capital Markets Day in late 2020.
Financial targets
Returns: Cash RoIC >10% medium term Growth : Cash EPS > 10% p.a. on average medium term Leverage: Net debt/Cash EBITDA 2.5–3.5x by end of 2022 Shareholder remuneration: Absolute annual increase in dividend per share
Quarterly development
Q2 2022 was a seasonally strong quarter, in particular in Portfolio Investments and Strategic Markets, while CMS continues to be affected by lower like-for-like new case inflows compared to pre-pandemic levels. The leverage ratio is temporarily elevated due to a strong investment quarter, the dividend payment and adverse FX development.
In Q2 2022 cash revenues increased to SEK 6,266 M (5,591), cash EBITDA SEK 3,408 M (2,966) and cash EBIT to SEK 1,595 M (1,413). Cash EPS was SEK 9.12 (5.67), Cash RoIC stood at 8.4 (8.0) and leverage ratio at 4.0x (4.1x).
On a rolling 12-month basis cash revenues increased to SEK 23,433 M (21,990), cash EBITDA SEK 13,075 SEK (11,943) and cash EBIT to SEK 6,569 M (5,959). Cash EPS increased to SEK 31.34 (26.22), and cash RoIC increased to 9.0% (8.4).

ONE Intrum
Transforming the operating model to reach full potential of scale and efficiency
Intrum has a solid foundation and proud heritage with over 80,000 clients across Europe, making us the market leader. However, the market we operate in is changing. To capture growth opportunities, we must act as ONE aligned company with modern IT infrastructure and a global operating model, adapting to current and future needs of our clients and customers. We will spend SEK 1 bn in the transformation to achieve SEK 1bn of net savings per annum.
As part of the transformation program, we are implementing ONE technology platform across all our markets and building a global operations footprint consisting of global front- and back-offices in Athens, Bucharest, Malaga, Mauritius, and Vilnius.
Through our ONE Intrum transformation program, we are establishing a simpler, more digital and scalable business model making us more agile, cost-efficient and data-driven. The ONE Intrum transformation program allows us not only to maintain our market leading position – but to further strengthen it.
ONE Intrum transformation remains fully on track
The ONE Intrum transformation continued at full speed in the second quarter. We are very proud with the progress across all initiatives, particularly our ability to continuously increase volumes benefitting from our global footprint. Our 4 global front offices are now serving 17 Intrum markets and 18 per cent of all calls. All 4 sites are ISO 27001 certified, and we have engaged Qualtrics as a customer survey provider covering both local and global agents in the markets now being served.
The new global operating platform is our largest collection system with 9.4 million cases, 25 per cent of all cases globally, across 7 markets. A milestone migration was achieved during the quarter as the first servicing cases were migrated in Spain. We also migrated our first cases from Germany and UK during the quarter.
At the end of Q2 2022, our full year run-rate savings realised from the transformation program are at SEK 172 M, well on track toward our target of SEK 1 bn of recurring benefits. The runrate savings are expected to decrease slightly during the coming months as we focus on further building up our global centers and ensuring proper knowledge transfer before increasing again towards the end of the year as we resize our local organisations.
We are very excited about the potential to apply advanced analytics and automation technology to our core operating processes and systems. We can already now see how our technology roadmap can bring substantial further benefits and savings above our stated targets as we continue into 2024 and beyond.

the lower like-for-like inflows compared to 2019 and the onset of the pandemic, particularly in higher value financial services claims. On average we are experiencing significant increases of lower balance, lower commission invoice claims where cash collections are higher but come at a lower margin. This and the slower recovery in financial services claims are currently offsetting underlying growth attributable to new contracts signed as well as driving cost to collect. However, also given the significant

Cash revenues increased by 1 per cent to SEK 1,019 M compared to Q2 2021 while cash EBITDA and EBIT decreased by 19 and 17 per cent respectively due to higher operating expenses in the segment. Cash return on invested capital was 7.0 per cent (8.6) for the quarter.

Strategic Markets continued its strong performance trajectory in the second quarter with substantial improvements across all metrics compared to Q2 2021. We continue to improve performance and to add new third party volumes to our platforms with AuM in Italy and Spain increasing by a gross total of c. SEK 40 bn during the first half of the year. Despite the more challenging macroeconomic backdrop Strategic Markets continues to excel across all three markets. Regarding Spain, we have now started to offboard SAREB volumes with all transfers expected to be completed by the end of Q3. While this is expected to reduce revenues by c. 7 per cent in 2022, we do not foresee any meaningful impact to the expected profit contribution from Spain.
Cash revenues came in 18 per cent above the second quarter of 2021 at SEK 1,557 M, while cash EBITDA and cash EBIT increased by 44 and 46 per cent, respectively, highlighting the operating leverage inherent in our Strategic Markets business. Cash RoIC was 22.5 per cent (14.6) for the quarter.

In Portfolio Investments we saw record high collections with strong collection performance at 15 per cent above active forecast for the second quarter. Payment plans continue their solid performance trajectory with settlements becoming somewhat more difficult to complete. This development is consistent with the eventual gradual normalisation in outperformance to our historical range of 5 to 10 per cent compared to active forecast we have mentioned since the beginning of the year.
The second quarter was also a strong quarter from a new investment perspective with SEK 3,141 M (2,051) deployed. In the context of a more challenging macroeconomic backdrop we have focused on portfolios offering a good risk adjusted return based on high cash conversion due to existing payers. While such portfolios typically come with lower headline returns and money on money multiples, they are also less sensitive to macro factors such as changes in inflation and employment thus offering good protection in the current environment. In the second half of the year, we expect a more moderate investment pace in light of increasing macro uncertainty.
During the quarter we collected SEK 3,459 M, up 11 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Cash EBITDA for the segment was SEK 2,816 M and cash EBIT was SEK 1,065 M, up 17 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2021. Cash RoIC was 10.3 per cent (10.3) for the quarter.

Notes
Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting for the Group and in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company. In addition to appearing in the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report.
The accounting principles applied by the Group and the Parent Company are essentially unchanged compared with the 2021 Annual Report.
Parent Company
The Group's publicly listed Parent Company, Intrum AB (publ), owns the subsidiaries, provides the Group's head office functions and handles certain Group-wide development work, services and marketing.
The Parent Company reported revenues of SEK 335 M (459) for the second quarter and earnings before tax of SEK -354 M (-194). The Parent Company invested SEK 34 M (35) in fixed assets for the quarter and at the end of the quarter held SEK 383 M (844) in cash and cash equivalents. The average number of employees was 72 (62).
Development in the period
Total assets in the first half of the year increased by SEK 4,943 M to SEK 93,848 M at the end of June 2022 from SEK 88,905 M at the end of 2021.
The increase was mainly due to the additional investments in Portfolio Investments of SEK 4,819 M (see also Portfolio Investment section within this report for further details) partially offset by the amortisation of the period for SEK 2,502 M.
Net FX movement was mainly due to SEK/EUR exposure which changed by a positive SEK 1,398 M the first six months of 2022. Working capital was SEK -1,015 M at the end of June 2022 compared to the SEK -1,244 M at the end of December 2021. The change was mainly due to the FX movement during the period.
Transactions with related parties
During the quarter no significant transactions occurred between the Group and other closely related companies, board members or the Group management team.
Investments in joint ventures
IAS 28 requires recognition of impairment losses relating to joint ventures if objective evidence is available to support such losses. Such assessment ordinarily includes significant management judgement and forward looking assumptions with limited observable data. Objective evidence considered can include for example continued underperformance compared to forecasts and/ or comparable transactions completed by third parties at arm's length.
Market development and outlook
The Group's integrated business model consists of credit management services and portfolio investments and benefits from favourable medium term development prospects in both areas. The Group continues to execute its Transformation program and will gradually standardise, globalise and improve its collections processes. The Group anticipates the actions being taken in this area will continue to improve efficiency and margins, as well as enabling sustainable and organic growth.
Significant risks and uncertainties
Risks to which the Group and Parent Company are exposed include but are not strictly limited to any and all risks relating to economic developments, compliance and changes in regulations, reputation risks, tax risks, risks attributable to IT and information management, epidemic and pandemic risks, geopolitical risks such as political risks, civil unrest, disruption, or conflicts including armed conflicts and war directly or indirectly affecting locations where Intrum or its clients maintain or conduct business, risks attributable to acquisitions, market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks, risks inherent in and associated with portfolio investments and payment guarantees, as well as financing risks. The risks are described in more detail in the Board of Directors' report in Intrum's 2021 Annual and Sustainability report. No new significant risks have arisen besides those described in the Annual and Sustainability report.
Fair value of financial instruments
Most of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (portfolio investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, liabilities to credit institutions, bonds, commercial paper, accounts payable and other liabilities) are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements. For most of these financial instruments, the carrying amount is deemed to be a good estimate of fair value. For outstanding bonds with a total carrying value of SEK 46,218 M (44,270) at the end of the quarter, fair value is, however, estimated at SEK 40,988 M (44,807). The Group also holds forward exchange contracts and other financial assets of SEK 239 M (35), as well as financial liabilities of SEK 278 M (116) carried at fair value through the income statement.
Assets and financing
Total assets at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 93,848 M, compared to SEK 83,343 M at the end of the second quarter of the preceding year. Net debt amounted to SEK 52,213 M (49,309), the share of fixed rate debt amounts to 72 per cent of net debt and is principally composed of EUR bonds with maturities between 2024 and 2027. Net debt in relation to the RTM cash EBITDA stands at 4.0x compared to 4.1x at the end of the second quarter 2021. By the end of the second quarter, Intrum had SEK 2,072 M (3,732) outstanding commercial paper, the decrease reflects a more negative short term credit sentiment. Drawings under the revolving credit facility have been used to cover for this. At the end of the quarter SEK 8,562 M (3,975) of Intrum's revolving credit facility was utilised.

Items affecting comparability
Significant items that impact comparability of key metrics are adjusted from IFRS reported numbers to provide more relevant information to external users. Items Affecting Comparability ("IAC") are based on three sub-groups: Group Restructurings ("Restructurings"), Non-Recurring Items ("NRIs") and Non-Cash Items ("NCIs"). Restructurings are costs relating to group-wide business transformation programs and M&A transactions. Incremental temporary incurred costs over and above anticipated net fixed costs are reported as an IAC. NRIs are one-off costs or income that weren't incurred in previous reporting periods and are not expected to recur in future reporting periods. An item that is part of core operations is not reported as an NRI irrespective how infrequent it could be occurring in business operations. For cash metrics, NCIs represent all valuation, estimates and provisions which are non-cash in nature and relates to future periods. For non-cash metrics, NCIs represent items that enhances periodic comparability, like adjustments to prospective accounting changes, measurement adjustments to match revenue and costs that are interconnected or recognition of partial impairment losses that relate to the current reporting period. NCI excludes normal working capital changes. NCIs could arise from Restructurings or NRIs.

The key figure is included among the Group's financial targets, it is an important measure for assessing the level of the Group's borrowings and is a widely accepted measure of financial capacity among lenders. This key figure is calculated in accordance with the definitions stated in the terms of the Group's revolving syndicated loan facility, which means, among other things, that participations in non-consolidated joint ventures is only included to the extent that earnings are distributed to Intrum and that operations acquired during the period are included on a pro forma-basis throughout the 12-month period.

Other capex
Investments made to maintain and grow the business. For example, IT and tangible assets.
Portfolio investments – collected amounts, amortisations and revaluations
Portfolio investments consist of portfolios of delinquent consumer debts purchased at prices below the nominal receivable. These are recognised at amortised cost applying the effective interest method, based on a collection forecast established at the acquisition date of each portfolio. Revenues attributable to portfolio investments consist of collected amounts less amortisation for the period and revaluations. The amortisation represents the period's reduction in the portfolio's current value, which is attributable to collection taking place as planned. Revaluation is the period's increase or decrease in the current value of the portfolios attributable to the period's changes in forecasts of future collection.

The ratio sets the segment's earnings in relation to the amount of capital tied up and is included in the Group's financial targets. The definition of average book value is based on using average values for the quarters. Year to date and RTM is calculated using the opening and closing balances of the quarters in the period.
Revenues
Consolidated revenues include external servicing earnings (variable collection commissions, fixed collection fees, debtor fees, guarantee commissions, subscription earnings, etc.), earnings from portfolio investments operations (collected amounts less amortisation and revaluations for the period) and other earnings from financial services (fees and net interest from financing services).
