Operational excellence, client focus and capital light

In September at our Capital Markets Day, we presented our strategic priorities for the coming three years underpinned by three pillars. First, operational excellence: technology and automation will permeate our operating model to create an efficient and scalable operating platform while improving our collections capability. Second, client focus: emphasising profitable growth through client centricity. Third, capital light: extract cash from our backbook and pivot to a capital-light business model.

In our continuous effort to build a stronger and tech-driven franchise, we also announced the acquisition of Ophelos and eCollect, two companies set to accelerate our tech-transition. With these additions, we will advance our client value proposition while becoming more efficient by leveraging Ophelos - the only tech-powered autonomous debt resolution platform in Europe. Tech-driven decisions do not only allow us to be more profitable and relevant to our clients and customers but also drive other key benefits. For example, in Denmark, we transitioned from sending customers ~3 M physical letters annually to now sending more than 80 percent in digital form. Since August, when this program was initiated, we have not only increased our customer response rate by more than 700 percent, but we will also eliminate the emission of 61 tons of CO2 annually. This clearly shows that all stakeholders and our society as a whole benefit by driving technology within Intrum.

I also want to repeat and emphasise that our top near-term priority is to reduce our leverage and cost base. This quarter, we have lowered our proprietary investments, reduced operating costs and we are progressing on our plan to potentially exit selected Tactical markets and part of our back book. All cash flows from these tactical measures will repay debt and de-risk our platform. In the third quarter, Income was SEK 4,959 M (4,530), translating to an increase of 9 per cent. Servicing Income amounted to SEK 3,441 M (3,103), while Investing Income stood at SEK 2,173 M (2,083). Cash EBITDA for the group was SEK 3,160 M (3,009), up 5 per cent. Adjusted EBIT decreased 13% to SEK 1,353 M (1,564) for the quarter and reduced 18% to SEK 3,888 M (4,736) for YTD due to increased costs in excess of increased income.

Direct and Indirect Costs totalled SEK 4,436 M for the quarter and SEK 11,767 M for the YTD. This includes SEK 791 M and SEK 1,110 M respectively of Items Affecting Comparability predominantly relating to the cost saving program and IT transformation (see page 10). Underlying costs, excluding these Items Affecting Comparability, have increased 15% to SEK 3,647 M (3,161) and 12% to SEK 10,657 M (9,503) for the quarter and the year, respectively, with currency movements contributing 10% for the quarter compared to Q3 '22 and 8% YTD. The cost program launched during the first quarter is principally focused on non-production elements which constitute approximately half of the above mentioned adjusted cost base.

Acceleration commercial success

On the commercial side, during the quarter we signed a transformational contract with Buildingcenter in Spain and a meaningful increased mandate with Virgin Money in the UK. We have also been awarded a large contract with Sykehusinnkjøp (hospitals) in Norway where the key reason for our selection was the quality of our service rather than the price of our offer. These efforts to drive the commercial development of the company are visible in our total annual contract value (ACV) signings. At the end of September, the ACV signings in 2023 amounted to SEK 1.1 bn (690 M). During the third quarter alone, the ACV signings, excluding the

"I also want to repeat and emphasise that our top near-term priority is to reduce our leverage and cost base"

transformational contract with Buildingcenter, reached SEK 261 M with a win rate greater than 55 per cent.

Progress on cost program, cash extraction and leverage

By the end of the quarter, we have already achieved run rate cost savings of SEK ~350 M, mainly from redundancies which will gradually come into the results over the coming quarters. Given progress during the third quarter, we have taken a provision for costs to achieve of SEK ~ 580 M. The progress to date and our high ambition level make me comfortable with the previously communicated target of more than SEK 800 M with the majority to be achieved on a run-rate basis by end of 2023.

Our near term ambition to extract value from our Investing business delivered a cash EBITDA of SEK 2.8 bn, with SEK 531 M reinvested in portfolios in the quarter. The investments were made at an average unlevered IRR of 18 per cent (15). The leverage ratio Net debt before other obligations/RTM Cash EBITDA currently stands at 4.4x. The leverage reduction, compared to Q2 '23, is mainly driven by including the RTM results of Haya. In addition, we had favourable FX movements in the quarter.

Reducing disposable income and extended payment terms

Surging inflation and higher borrowing costs continue to be a problem for European household finances. As their real earnings stagnate or even decline, consumers will have to make difficult choices. In our own data, we see around half of consumers breaking even on their finances each month, while 24 per cent are overspending – and the average over-spender is exceeding their budget by EUR 232.

In September, the European Commission presented the "SME Relief Package", with the overarching ambition to empower SMEs across Europe. The European Commission highlights that late payments are causing severe liquidity issues for companies across Europe - in extreme cases directly leading to the company's bankruptcy. This is congruent with our '23 European Payment Report showed that 66 per cent of the respondents have been asked to accept longer payment terms. These numbers are worrisome, shedding light on the importance of not only addressing, but acting on Europe's late payment problem now, but also supporting consumers as disposable income is being squeezed. We will closely monitor the developments, on the presented regulation and continue to maintain an active dialogue with regulators and support individuals to become debt free with Intrum.

The first small steps on a long journey

We have taken some important steps in improving and strengthening Intrum, and I am confident that we are on the right track. The journey we presented during the Capital Markets Day has only just begun. Step by step, we will execute on the realisation of Intrum's full potential over the coming years. In the meantime, we will concurrently focus on delivering on our near-term tactical measures.

Key financial metrics

Quarterly development

Adjusted EBIT decreased 13% to SEK 1,353 M (1,564) for the quarter and reduced 18% to SEK 3,888 M (4,736) for YTD due to increased costs in excess of increased income. Direct and Indirect Costs totalled SEK 4,436 M for the quarter and SEK 11,767 M for the YTD. This includes SEK 791 M and SEK 1,110 M respectively of Items Affecting Comparability predominantly relating to the cost saving program and IT transformation (see page 10). Underlying costs, excluding these Items Affecting Comparability, have increased 15% to SEK 3,647 M (3,161) and 12% to SEK 10,657 M (9,503) for the quarter and the year respectively with fx movements contributing 10% for the quarter (8% for the YTD). The cost saving program, which to date has identified savings > SEK 0.8 bn, will focus on the c.50% of adjusted costs that are not directly driving income and will be visible in our 2024 results.

In Servicing, new case inflows and assets under management continue to grow with exceptional new ACV signings of SEK 594 M (164) in the quarter, an all-time high for the segment. External Servicing Income for the quarter has benefited from increased inflows, rising to SEK 2,785 M (2,447) and reaching SEK 10,957 M on a rolling 12 month basis. However, Servicing Adjusted Margin for the quarter reduced to 12% (18) driven by cost growth in excess of income. Portfolio Investments performance for the quarter was in line with expectations at 100% of active forecast with an Adjusted ROI of 14% (14).

The leverage ratio reduced to 4.4x compared to the previous quarter driven by favourable FX movements and recent acquisitions. In Q3'23, Income and Adjusted Income for the quarter increased to SEK 4,959 M (4,530), EBIT increased to SEK 509 M (-1,576) and Adjusted EBIT decreased to SEK 1,353 M (1,564).

In the third quarter, the strong commercial performance continued, with new signings of SEK 594 M (164) in ACV. In total, new signings are at SEK 1.1 bn for the first 9 months of the year, an increase of 60% compared to 2022. We continue seeing a positive development also in terms of higher margins in new signings compared to existing stock.

In total, the Adjusted Income for Servicing was at SEK 3,441 M (3,103) in the quarter, up by 11% compared to Q3 22. The External Income was at SEK 2,785 (2,447), up by 14%. Adjusted EBIT decreased by 23% to SEK 416 M (558), while Cash EBITDA decreased by 12% to SEK 742 M (853).

The decrease in Adjusted EBIT and Cash EBITDA is due to increased cost to collect and also higher Indirect Costs. The cost programme announced in Q1 23 has been launched and effects are starting to materialise, though not visible in financials yet.

Investing

Intrum invests in portfolios of overdue receivables and similar claims, after which Intrum's servicing operations collect on the claims acquired.

Despite the challenging macro environment, collection performance for the quarter came in at 100 % of active forecast with an Adjusted ROI of 14 % (14). The Q3 performance is seasonally weaker but still landed in line with forecast. We also completed the divestment of our platforms in Estonia and Latvia.

During the quarter, we invested SEK 530 M (1,335) in new portfolios with a net IRR of 18 % (15 %). The investment levels are aligned with our updated reduced investment appetite. The realised investments are predominantly forward flow commitments across our markets. Cash Income came in at SEK 3,551 M (3,289), an increase compared to the same quarter last year.

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 income of SEK 761 M (534) for the secong quarter and earnings before tax of SEK -527 M (-1,602). The Parent Company invested SEK 135 M (42) in fixed assets for the quarter and at the end of the quarter held SEK -588 M (439) in cash and cash equivalents. The average number of employees was 87 (77).

Development in the period

Total assets as of 30 September 2023 of SEK 92,745 M is up by SEK 4,035 M, or 5%, compared to 31 December 2022.

The increase is mainly due to Portfolio Investments in the period of SEK 4,853 M, partially offset by the amortization of SEK 3,959 M and to additional to intangible assets of SEK 1,456 M manily related to the acquisition of Haya.

On 1 June 2023, the Group completed its acquisition of Arrow Global Group UK operations for a total consideration of SEK ~ 524 M. The Group also acquired d 50% of Arrow Global's UK portfolio (unsecured) amounting to SEK ~ 1,238 M. The Group has joint control with Arrow Global to manage the portfolio which is recognised as a joint operation. The portfolio performance, assets and liabilities are proportionally included in the consolidated financial statements.

The acquisition from Arrow Global Group will assist in growing secured loans and asset servicing capabilities and significantly broaden and deepen the service range to existing and new clients. The integration of this acquisition to the UK operations will also result in significant cost synergies.

On 1 September 2023, the Group completed its acquisition of Haya Real Estate in Spain for a total consideration of SEK ~1,308 M. The acquired business includes a servicing platform for secured loans and assets and has no principal investment activity.

The acquisition improves the Group's client service business by deepening our existing relationships. Post-acquisition, the Group has become the key servicing provider to all the leading banks in Spain. The integration of this acquisition to the UK operations will also result in significant cost synergies.

Discontinued operations

On 24 May 2023, the Group completed the sale of the Brazilian operations in line with its 2023 divestment strategy. The disposal resulted in a loss of SEK 35 M.

On 30 June 2023, Intrum signed a binding agreement to exit operations in the Baltics (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and Romania. The total purchase consideration amounts to EUR 30 M and EUR 17 M for Baltics and Romania, respectively. The purchase consideration will be settled on a deferred payment basis with last payments settled in December 2024 for Baltics and in December 2025 for Romania.

The impairment of SEK 120 M is principally driven by the disposal of the servicing platform in the Lithuania and Romania.

The above European transactions, subject to regulatory approvals, have all been completed, except for Lithuania which is expected to close in Q4 2023. The financial results of discontinued operations are as follows:

Following changes to corporate strategy and group reorganisation, the goodwill balance has been reallocated to 'Austria & Germany', 'Belgium & Netherlands', 'Czech Republic, Romania & Slovakia', 'Finland', 'France', 'Hungary', 'Poland', 'Portugal', 'Norway', 'Sweden', 'Denmark', 'Switzerland' and 'UK & Ireland', Spain', 'Italy' and 'Greece' Markets in Q3 2023.

The goodwill balances have been reallocated on the relative recoverable value estimates as at 30 September 2023 for current and comparative reporting periods

The goodwill balances are annually assessed for impairment by comparing carrying amounts to value-in-use estimates. These estimates are measured based on post-tax cash flow forecasts. These forecasts are based on historical results adjusted with current assumptions and future trends for each respective CGUs. However, due to adverse macro-economic developments and adverse share price movements, the Group has conducted an impairment test to its goodwill balance in Q3 2023.

The value-in-use estimates are based on a 5-year forecasting period. The forecasting period includes steady growth rates applied to the initial period, whilst diminishing growth rates are applied to later periods. At the end of 5th year, a terminal value is estimated to reflect the value relating to future period in perpetuity. The value-in-estimate is a total of forecasting period and terminal value discounted at post-tax WACC.

The value-in-use estimates are based on following key assumptions:

Key Assumptions 2023 2022
WACC (Post-tax) 8.0% to 11.8% 7.5%
Tax Rate 15.4% to 27.9% 22%
Growth Rate -5.4% to 19.1% 3.6% to 12.9%
Terminal Growth Rate 2.5% 2.5%

WACC is one of the key inputs to compute the value-in-use estimates. Following sensitivity analysis highlights changes to the headroom between goodwill balance and value-in-use estimates if WACC changes by 50 Basis Points ("BPS"), whist assuming no change to Terminal Growth Rate ("TGR"):

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

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 2022 Annual and Sustainability report. High level of uncertainty with high inflation and in particular high and increasing energy prices and interest rates are a major concern for the euro-area. Intrum has a resilient business model and demand for our services and solutions are expected to increase over the coming quarters. 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 45,799 M (46,958 at the end of December 2022) at the end of the quarter, fair value is, however, estimated at SEK 38,951 M (42,528 at the of December 2022). The Group also holds forward exchange contracts and other financial assets of SEK 321 M (253 at the end of December 2022 ), as well as financial liabilities of SEK 429 M (138 at the end of December 2022) carried at fair value through the income statement.

By the end of the third quarter, Intrum had SEK 760 M (1,130) 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 14,447 M (8,430) of Intrum's revolving credit facility was utilised.

Events after the balance sheet date

On 17 October 2023, the Group closed its acquisition of Ophelos, the UK debt collection agency for a total nominal consideration of SEK ~718 M. The upfront payment on the closing date amounted to SEK~398 M, whilst the nominal balancing payment amounting to SEK~320 M would be paid over a period of 3 years on successful completion of specified KPIs. With the acquisition of Ophelos, Intrum seeks to advance the development of tech-enabled solutions in its offering by further strengthening its market-leading position – a key component in building a tech-driven organisation.

Subsequent integration of Ophelos across Markets over the next 3 years will improve servicing margins by significantly reducing cost of debt collection and at the same time increasing opportunities to expand servicing products to wider untapped market participants.

Auditor's Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Intrum AB (publ) as of 30 September 2023 and for the nine month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.

A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
