Strong start to a pivotal year with significant progress towards key transformational goals
Our strategic agenda and capital light operating model remain unchanged – and, more importantly, our team keeps delivering on what we have set out to achieve.
Accelerating transformation through capital light partnership and technology
We are very pleased to have finalised our strategic investment partnership with Cerberus on 1 April. Cerberus is a highly complementary partner for Intrum, and the collaboration enables us to scale our investment activities without increasing our debt. This partnership is fully aligned with our capital light strategy, generating both servicing and investment management revenues. Together, Intrum and Cerberus aim to jointly invest up to EUR 1 billion annually, with Intrum contributing up to 30 percent of the capital for these investments. This partnership leverages our market leading investment and servicing platform generating not only a return on direct investment but also driving significant investment management and servicing fee-based revenue.
Another key initiative is the accelerated rollout of Ophelos, which continues to move us closer to becoming a technology company focused on credit management services rather than a credit management services company simply leveraging technology. Ophelos is now live in six markets – UK, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and France – and we are on track to launch in Portugal and Italy in the second quarter. The results are consistently strong, demonstrating the powerful combination of increased collection rates and improved cost-to-collect, in particular for high-volume and low-ticket claims (the most challenging assets to manage). We remain confident that Ophelos will cover nearly 60 percent of our commercial activity by year-end and demonstrate material run-rate impact to our results. In parallel, we launched our voice AI agent, Olivia, in our largest Servicing market - Spain. Early results indicate efficacy on par or better than human agent collections. We look forward to sharing more detail in the coming periods.


Growing client demand for our services and strong uplift in servicing margin
In Q1, the European operating environment has become substantially more complicated with increased geopolitical tensions, considerable shifts in the global trade landscape and uncertainty around supply chain resilience. This has reinforced the demand for credit management services. Among our other notable achievements in the first quarter, we signed 279 new and upsell deals across our footprint. Highlights include Avida Finans in Norway, Primagaz in France, consumer bank in Switzerland and a large bank in UK.
We continue to be focused on delivering key support and generating value for both clients and customers. Concurrent with driving value though customer collections, Intrum continues to play a critical role in the financial ecosystem. Each year, we help nearly five million people become debt free, regaining financial control and enabling their reintegration into the financial system.
Financially, we are growing our income levels in most markets while rigorously reviewing our cost base. This is most evident in our Servicing Adjusted EBIT, which more than doubled year-onyear, and our Servicing Adjusted EBIT margin, which increased 12 percentage points to 21% in Q1 2025. We expect our margin improvement to continue towards our stated 2026 goal of 25% and beyond.
Backed by overwhelming support, Intrum successfully emerges from recapitalisation
I am very pleased to report that we are approaching the completion of the Recapitalisation Transaction, with continued strong support from our creditors and all of our stakeholders.
Intrum entered the first quarter of the year following the US Court's confirmation of our pre-packaged Chapter 11 plan on the final day of 2024. In Sweden on 15 April, our creditors unanimously voted in favour of the reorganisation plan. Upon completion of necessary regulatory approvals in H1 2025, the Recapitalisation Transaction will take effect, with existing bonds exchanged and new equity issued.
The completion of this process marks a pivotal milestone and provides us with the financial runway needed to execute our business plan effectively, driving long term growth and success.
In conclusion, we are successfully emerging from our recapitalisation while making meaningful progress across all three of our strategic pillars: operational excellence, client focus, and our transition to a capital light business model. We are setting the foundation for future success and growth.

Key financial metrics
Quarterly development
EBIT for the quarter increased to SEK 1,032 M (475 M). Total income for the quarter was SEK 4,276 M (4,430 M), reflecting a 3% decrease, primarily due to decrease in the Investing segment.
Total costs decreased to SEK -3,323 M (-4,166 M) for the first quarter, which is explained by improved efficiency measured across all cost buckets, personnel expenses (-13%), legal expenses (-24%) and other operating expenses (-34%). Intrum continued to work on the Restructuring transaction during first quarter. The transaction will have an impact on the company's financial and operational framework. Exceptional items are recorded on the balance sheet and will be recognized on the transaction date.
Results from associates and joint ventures decreased to
SEK 88 M compared to SEK 208 M in Q1 2024. Change includes discontinued operations from first quarter last year of SEK 131 M.
Net financial expenses is slightly down in the quarter of SEK -710 M (-713 M). See page 9 for more details.
During the first quarter 2025, it was decided to decrease the Items Affecting Comparability (IAC) to a minimum. The decision was taken to mitigate the risk of cost not being managed with the same carefulness. The change impacted the first quarter with a decrease of IAC with 83% compare to first quarter 2024, and amounted to SEK 67 M (389 M). Key items being cost savings initiatives in Spain and IT migration in UK of a total of SEK 38 M, and Hungary tax expenses SEK 22 M (118 M).
Adjusted EBIT increased by 27% to SEK 1,098 M (864) for the
quarter and the EBIT margin increased from 19% to 22% since December 2024. The adjusted EBIT increased due to a decrease of underlying costs of 14% to SEK 3,256 M (3,777 M), excluding IACs. The cost saving programs launched in prior years is driving the decrease in the cost base.
The leverage ratio remained flat at 4.5x compared to the previous quarter.

Servicing
Credit management with a focus on late payments and collections
External income decreased 2% versus first quarter 2024, driven by negative organic growth in Southern Europe which has a natural decline in portfolios (stock market) compared to our other markets which benefit from ongoing in-flows (flow market).
EBIT grew by 322% in the quarter to SEK 689 M compared to SEK 163 M in first quarter 2024, and adjusted EBIT grew with 133% to SEK 729 M compared to SEK 313 M in first quarter last year.
The significant progress in EBIT is driven by all four regions and mainly due to lowered costs. This development is driven by continued success in our client profitability focus and a general strong cost control. As a result of the cost reductions, the adjusted EBIT margin increased to 21% compared to 9% in Q1 2024.
We expect to see continued profitability progression and margin expansion in Servicing and a positive trajectory throughout the year.

Collection performance versus active forecast increased to 102% in the quarter, compared to 100% first quarter 2024.
Adjusted ROI decreased to 10% in the quarter compared to 12% in Q1 2024. During the quarter, we invested SEK 272 M in new portfolios, down from SEK 371 M in Q1 2024.
Cash EBITDA decreased to SEK 1,436 M, down from SEK 1,716 M in Q1 2024, and EBIT decreased to SEK 576 M from SEK 751 M in first quarter 2024.
Our book value decreased to SEK 23.4 bn from SEK 25.3 bn last quarter due to a low investment pace for the quarter and movement in exchange rates, in particular impacted by the development of the SEK/EUR exchange rate during first quarter.
The decrease in the result versus last year, and reduced book value versus last quarter, is mainly explained by the reduced proprietary investing book, which is in line with our capital light strategy.

2) Interest costs have reduced from SEK 932 M to SEK 676 M, primarily due to a combination of a lower debt balance, a reduced average coupon rate and a stronger SEK against the EUR

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 except for the change of SOI outlined below, essentially unchanged compared with the 2024 Annual Report.
Changes to the consolidate Statement of Income
In order to enhance transparency of the costs shown in the consolidated statement of income ("the consolidated SOI"), management have decided to move away from current presentation of 'Direct' and 'Indirect' costs and adopt presentation of costs by 'nature', permitted under IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.
Roundings
Due to roundings number presented in the interim report may not sum up to the exact total and percentages may differ from absolute figures.
Parent Company
The Group's 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 393 M (335) for the quarter and loss before tax of SEK -439 M (-594). The Parent Company held SEK 1,242 M (672) in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter. The average number of employees was 71 (86).
Development in the period
Total assets as of 31 March amounted to SEK 74,212 M and is down by SEK 3,327 M, or 4%,compared to 31 December 2024. The reduction in total assets is primarily driven by exchange rate movements in first quarter impacting Portfolio investments and Goodwill which are predominantly booked in non SEK currencies.
In the first quarter Intrum signed a co investment agreement with Cerberus. The agreement allows Intrum to scale its investment activity without increasing its debt, providing servicing revenues and additional investment management revenue, in line with the company's 'capital light' strategy.
During Q1 2025, Intrum AB's (publ) share which is included in Nasdaq Stockholm's list has been classified on the Mid Cap list, previously Large Cap.
Recapitalisation Transaction
Intrum started the ongoing Recapitalisation process in 2024. The Recapitalisation Transaction will significantly improve and strengthen Intrum's capital structure. Its implementation has been designed to minimize any impact on the Group's operations, suppliers and employees. Furthermore, Intrum has sufficient liquidity to support continued operations while executing on its business plan throughout the Chapter 11 process and to fund the Reorganisation processes. Intrum will continue to meet its financial obligations to all creditors and employees in the ordinary course of business, without interruption.
The company filed a voluntary petition for Reorganisation pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas which was approved on 31 December 2024. On the 8 January 2025 Intrum entered into a Swedish company reorganisation, which formed an important step in the implementation of the Recapitalisation Transaction. On 14 March 2025, Intrum announced its Reorganisation plan and requested that the Stockholm District Court initiated plan proceedings as part of its Swedish company reorganisation on the 15 April 2025.

Restructurings are costs relating to group-wide business transformation programs and M&A ("merger and acquisitions") transactions where 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, such as adjustments to prospective accounting changes, measurement adjustments to match income and costs that are interconnected or recognition of partial impairment losses that relate to the current reporting period.
