Strong finish to 2022 provides a solid foundation for the future

Following the announcement on the 18th of January, I am excited and privileged to have been entrusted with the challenge to lead Intrum through its next chapter as President and CEO. While I am convinced that we have a very solid foundation with many strengths, I also see substantial opportunities for further commercial development and organisational improvement ahead. A strong fourth quarter ended 2022 and provides a positive environment in the years to come.

Strong cash generation and finish to 2022

Our performance during 2022 - as well as the fourth quarter - has showcased Intrum's fundamental strengths, given the backdrop of a challenging macroeconomic environment across our footprint. Our multi-market integrated business model has enabled us to significantly grow cash revenues, up 11% and 12%, as well as cash EBITDA, up 8% and 2%, year on year and quarter on quarter, respectively. This positive development is rooted in the strong contribution from both Portfolio Investments and Strategic Markets. Portfolio Investments delivered strong underlying collection outperformance of 108% for the full year and 111% for the fourth quarter, a testament to the quality of our underwriting and workout competencies, particularly important in this difficult market environment. In line with previous guidance, we have moderated our investment pace, with SEK 7.5 billion deployed in 2022 and SEK 1.2 billion during the fourth quarter, at increasing internal rate of return amounting to 15% in the second half of 2022 vs. 12% in first half of 2022. Strategic Markets delivered a consistently strong trajectory throughout the year with Greece and Italy outperforming relative to expectations and to other markets.

On the other hand, our challenges have also been consistent throughout the year as the CMS segment has not yet seen material increases in higher value, higher margin financial services inflows. At the same time, costs have increased due to higher levels of activity required to maintain revenues, given efforts to collect and increase inflows of lower value, lower margin industrial invoices. Costs overall have also been impacted by our efforts to enable and support the ONE Intrum transformation, as well as building and enhancing both our commercial and data and analytics capabilities.

The leverage ratio is still at 4.0x at the end of the year, adversely impacted by the continued depreciation of the SEK throughout 2022 as well as the settlement of the derivative agreement with CarVal. We remain committed to achieving our 3.5x leverage ratio target as soon as possible.

Our success benefits key stakeholders and society

Looking beyond financial indicators, we have made significant progress with our clients who benefit from our solutions, which enable us to win new and extend existing mandates. In 2022 Intrum won new servicing contracts with a 36% higher annual value compared to 2021. This comes in large part from new clients but also from our existing clients. Some of the largest deals last year included Sainsbury's Bank in the UK, Credit Agricole Italy and Vattenfall in Sweden. Satisfied clients are also a particularly important enabler for our commercial success. In our Annual Client Satisfaction Survey, we achieved a high score of 7.6 out of 10 overall and 8.4 out of 10 for larger and key clients.

Just as important, we have helped our customers resolve their financial challenges in a fair and ethical manner, with circa 4 million customers becoming debt free with Intrum in 2022 alone. This highlights the contribution we make to the functioning of the financial ecosystem and is only possible due to our highly competent and dedicated workforce, evidenced by a strong Employee Engagement Index of 80 out of 100 and Culture Index of 85 out of 100.

Strengths, opportunities and initiatives

We expect increasing demand for our services and solutions in 2023. Stage-2 loans have increased from 1.2 trillion to 2.0 trillion over the last three years, household cost of borrowing has more than doubled in 2022 and one of every three European households expect to miss at least one bill payment in the coming twelve months. In addition, the overall risk environment has started to adjust to increasing interest rates and risk premia.

We therefore expect 2023 to be a transition year where we

"Our performance during 2022 as well as the fourth quarter - has showcased Intrum's fundamental strengths, particularly against the backdrop of a challenging macroeconomic environment across our footprint."

will see: (i) an increased flow of financial services claims into our servicing business to add to the already strong flow of industrial invoices and (ii) a more moderate pace of investments given the more uncertain risk environment and our ambition to lower leverage.

Going forward, we believe that the significant increases in the volumes of potential investments (generated by the key drivers of Stage-2 loan and household borrowing cost increases) will begin near the end of 2023 and continue for several years. In the meantime, we will focus on driving collections performance on our existing portfolio in the increasingly challenging environment.

The servicing business will be driven by a general increased need for our services and, more specifically, the continued strong performance in those markets where we have a strong leadership position – Scandinavia, Greece, Italy, Spain and UK. In addition, it is incumbent on us to continue to improve our efficiency and service functionality across all of our key markets through a continued overview of our operations.

In sum, we expect 2023 to bring increased flows of financial services claims, moderate and selective investments, and a focus on deleveraging.

Our priorities going forward

Our fundamental and long-term strategic priorities remain unchanged - profitable growth and improved effectiveness and efficiency through a number of key initiatives. In this context, our key themes for our long-term development are simplify and focus as well as grow and transform.

Simplify and focus means making our organisation and communication more targeted, coherent and transparent. We will increase our focus on the geographies where we can achieve leadership in both servicing and investing, to set the foundation for the highest growth and profitability. Grow and transform encompasses all initiatives enabling profitable growth and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. In 2023 we will therefore pursue a number of specific initiatives.

Organisation and footprint: We will simplify and focus on two businesses - Servicing and Investing – plus clusters of geographies with distinct commonalities. Our overall footprint is generally characterised by Franchise markets across Northern, Middle and Southern Europe and investment-dominated Tactical markets predominantly in Eastern Europe. Franchise markets are defined by strong, deep and long-standing client relationships with leadership in both Servicing and Investing, while Tactical markets are dependent on continuous investment volumes and need to be monitored carefully over time. In line with this increased focus and simplification, we are investigating a potential exit from the Baltics, Romania and Brazil – reducing our jurisdictions from 25 to 20.

Value chain extension: In our Franchise markets we want to continue to expand our product capabilities in line with our clients' evolving needs, including early-stage solutions as well as secured and real estate services. This will allow us to broaden and deepen client relationships, supporting growth of the Servicing business.

Client and customer-centric approach: The value generation for our clients and customers is at the very centre of everything we do. We will continue to harmonise our technology platform, focusing on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our touchpoints with clients and customers. During 2023 we will update and harmonise our client and customer portals, roll out a state-of-the-art dialer system and introduce an end-to-end digital collection solution in our key markets.

Capital partnership: We will explore opportunities over the near term to establish a balance-sheet-light capital partnership, where a financial partner complements our Investing activities. This enables the further monetisation of our origination, underwriting and workout capabilities, adding additional revenues. This would allow us to significantly increase overall portfolio investments as well as the asset base for our servicing platform, while keeping our book value stable.

We will detail these themes as well as associated trajectory and targets on a Capital Markets Day to be held during the second quarter.

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

Q4 2022 was a seasonally strong quarter, with strong and resilient underlying performance. Strategic Markets continue to perform well. Underlying outperformance in Portfolio Investments, albeit strong, is starting to normalise and CMS again continues to be affected by lower new financial services inflows. The leverage ratio also continues to be adversely affected by currency movements.

In Q4 2022 cash revenues increased to SEK 6,759 M (6,053), cash EBITDA to SEK 3,786 M (3,726) and cash EBIT decreased to SEK 1,943 M (2,171). Cash EPS was SEK 8.56 (13.93), Cash RoIC stood at 10.3 (12.0) and leverage ratio at 4.0x (3.9x).

On a rolling 12-month basis cash revenues increased to SEK 24,627 M (22,215), cash EBITDA to SEK 13,238 SEK (12,310) and cash EBIT to SEK 6,344 M (6,343). Cash EPS decreased to SEK 24.76 (28.98), and cash RoIC decreased to 8.4% (8.9).

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, where we are the leading credit management services company. Our transformation program ONE Intrum has involved a number of milestones to ensure that we remain relevant in a changing market and is constantly being altered to its implications.

We have implemented a global operating model and established operational hubs. We are establishing simpler, more datadriven business processes and have transitioned portfolios from multiple countries to a global collection system.

Our global front offices serve 18 Intrum markets and 19.2 per cent of all calls. The global collection system is our largest collection system, handling 9.4 million cases, 25 per cent of all cases globally, across 7 markets. No new migrations took place during the fourth quarter of 2022.

At the end of Q4 2022, our full year run-rate savings realised from the transformation program are at SEK 290 M. Our rolling twelve month FTE cost-to-collect ratio improved to 5.8 per cent in Q4 2022 vs. 6.2 per cent in Q4 2021.

A broadened focus for increased client centricity and value creation

Our fundamental strategic priorities remain unchanged - profitable growth and improved efficiency through our transformation program. To succeed, we will increasingly focus on delivering value in our front-end touchpoints with clients and customers, with a more agile, needs basis approach to converting additional countries to a global collection system. We will continue to harmonise our technology platform, front end and back-end, on a bespoke basis in balance with other strategic priorities.

To strengthen the commercial development of Intrum, key themes will be simplify and focus our operations and market presence, as well as grow and transform to achieve profitable growth and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, new case inflows continued to increase, predominantly from lower balance, lower margin invoices such as utility bills. Higher value, higher margin financial services claims continued to lag during this period. Given the challenging macroeconomic environment across our footprint and deteriorating credit quality across Europe, as evidenced by the near doubling of Stage-2 bank loans over the last three years, CMS benefits from a favourable outlook into 2023 with growing revenues and increasing margin expected over time.

Throughout the year we have seen an increasing cost trend in

the segment. As existing claims are ageing, inflows are at lower margin, and new financial services claims are lagging the segment has experienced a marked increase in costs for a less pronounced increase in revenues.

As a result, cash revenues are up 9 per cent and cash EBIT is down 28 per cent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Full year 2022 cash revenues are up 4 per cent and cash EBIT is down 20 per cent. Cash return on invested capital was 6.0 (9.2) per cent for the quarter and 6.6 (8.6) per cent for the year.

Strategic Markets delivered a strong full year performance with increasing cash metrics compared to last year. Both Italy and Greece had a strong year, significantly up compared to 2021, driven by improving collection performance and supported by some transactional items throughout the year. Spain delivered stable performance throughout the year, despite losing the SAREB contract. For 2023, we expect a stabilisation of the performance trajectory across Strategic Markets.

Cash revenues came in slightly lower at SEK 1,785 M (1,802) for the fourth quarter and SEK 6,172 M (5,624) for the year, down 1 and up 10 per cent respectively compared to the same period last year. Cash EBITDA and cash EBIT for the quarter is down 11 and 13 per cent, respectively. For the year cash EBITDA and cash EBIT is up 14 and 13 per cent. Cash RoIC was 30.0 (34.7) per cent in the fourth quarter and 22.7 (19.4) per cent for the year.

Portfolio Investments

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

The collection performance for the fourth quarter was 118 per cent above active forecast and 112 per cent for the full year. During 2022, a few small portfolios were sold, above book value, for a total value of SEK 381 M realising a gain on sale of SEK 106 M. These portfolio sales were in respect of claims outside of our normal course of business. Adjusting collection performance for sales, the fourth quarter collection performance was 111 per cent above active forecast and 108 per cent for the full year.

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 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 891 M (690) for the full year and earnings before tax of SEK -1,105 M (216). The Parent Company invested SEK 48 M (238) in fixed assets for the quarter and at the end of the quarter held SEK 545 M (602) in cash and cash equivalents. The average number of employees was 97 (60).

Development in the period

Total assets as of December 31, 2022, of SEK 88,711 M, was flat as compared of the same period of last year, of SEK 88,905 M.

The increase in Portfolio Investments of SEK 4,167 M was offset by negative adjustments mainly caused by lowered collection expectations on specific portfolios invested via joint venture arrangements, principally the Italian SPVs as identified as part of the regular revaluation process. The book value of the italian joint ventures reduced by SEK 5,548 M to SEK 212 M, the movement was recognised in Participation in associated companies and joint ventures in the profit and loss. As a direct consequence client relationships reduced by SEK 591 M to SEK 829 M, the movement was recognised in cost of sales in the profit and loss. For the client relationship impairment the discount rate of 7.7% was used compared to 14.1% at initial recognition.

In addition, fair value loss following the exercise on a derivative related to the above Italian JV and amounting to SEK 1,091 M was recognised in net financial items in the profit and loss.

Net FX movement was mainly due to SEK/EUR exposure which changed by a positive SEK 2,557 M at the end of 2022. Working capital was SEK -589 M at the end of December 2022 compared to the SEK -1,244 M at the end of December 2021. The share of revenues denominated in EUR amounted to 71 per cent (60).

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. 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 46,958 M (42,589) at the end of the quarter, fair value is, however, estimated at SEK 42,528 M (45,006). The Group also holds forward exchange contracts and other financial assets of SEK 253 M (107), as well as financial liabilities of SEK 138 M (173) carried at fair value through the income statement.

Financing

Net debt amounted to SEK 53,185 M (48,277), the share of fixed rate debt amounts to 73 per cent of net debt and is principally composed of EUR bonds with maturities between 2024 and 2028. Net debt in relation to the RTM cash EBITDA stands at 4.0x compared to 3.9x at the end of the fourth quarter 2021. By the end of the fourth quarter, Intrum had SEK 1,130 M (3,998) 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 8,430 M (4,060) 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.

Net debt

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.

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.

Total portfolio investments made

The investments for the period in portfolios of overdue receivables, with and without collateral, investments in real estate and in joint ventures whose operations entail investing in portfolios of receivables and properties.

Return on Portfolio Investments (ROI)

Return on portfolio investments is the service line earnings for the period, excluding operations in factoring and payment guarantees (financial services), recalculated on a full-year basis, as a percentage of the average carrying amount of the balance-sheet item purchased debt. 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).

RTM

Rolling Twelve Months, RTM, refers to figures on a last 12-month basis.

RTM MoM multiple

The average quarterly underwriting money-on-money multiple for the past 12 months. Calculated by dividing the lifetime ERC of acquired portfolios with the purchase price of the portfolios.
