Comment by the President and CEO
Accelerating our 2030 Strategy through a capital raise
Following our strategic update in January, Intrum has continued to execute in line with our strategic priorities, with a clear focus on operational efficiency, cash generation and balance sheet strength. At the same time, we are operating in a market environment that presents both elevated uncertainty and significant opportunities.
Against this backdrop, we have decided to accelerate the Intrum 2030 strategy through a fully guaranteed SEK 7.5bn capital raise, to deleverage and derisk in the near-term, reduce cost of financing and enable us to grow our leading servicing and investing business. Whereas the 2025 recapitalisation extended our debt maturities and stabilised the company, the capital raise is the
next step to reduce leverage faster and create the financial flexibility required to execute Intrum 2030. The transaction will significantly reduce net debt, materially accelerate our deleveraging trajectory and support a path towards around 3x servicing leverage ratio by 2028, i.e. two years ahead of what was suggested by our financial targets communicated on 29 January. The remaining proceeds are expected to support profitability growth through disciplined investments and targeted acceleration of key operational initiatives. Compared with continuing on the organic plan alone, this would significantly reduce the period during which elevated leverage and high funding costs constrain the business, and allow us to take advantage of the growth opportunities.
Intrum Interim report first quarter 2026
More specifically, reaching our leverage target two years earlier will reduce financial costs and enhance resilience, thereby improving our ability to increase portfolio investments to support top-line growth. The improved financial flexibility will also enable faster progress on operational efficiency initiatives, support market share gains and accelerate entry into new verticals, versus assumptions in the Strategic Review.
During the first quarter, overall financial performance was largely in line with our expectations and strategy execution has developed according to plan. The cost development is slightly ahead of plan while income is somewhat behind plan, both compounded by FX-effects and seasonality. Over recent months, a new leadership team has been established, strengthening capabilities across Servicing, Technology and People. Together with the broader organisation, the team is fully committed to turning the company around and executing the 2030 strategy with focus and discipline.
Reducing leverage remains our most important near-term priority. The Servicing leverage ratio ended the quarter at 5.8x and overall leverage stood at 4.6x, with the consolidation of the joint venture Savoy group, as the main driver.
Total income declined year-on-year, driven by FX effects, lower investing income following the reduction in investment book and natural decline in the specialised markets, excluding Italy. In the traditional markets, external servicing income continued to grow, but not enough to offset the development in the specialised markets, underlining the need to further improve execution in core servicing operations.
Servicing income in the quarter was somewhat below our expectations, but we still target full-year Servicing income to be largely flat versus 2025, adjusting for FX. New sales increased by more than 30 percent year on year, however conversion of new business into income needs to improve. Addressing this is a key operational priority. Actions underway include reducing client onboarding times, improving pipeline quality, unlocking growth with existing clients and selectively pursuing new business opportunities. Client satisfaction remains high, reflecting continued confidence in Intrum's compliance, reliability and fair treatment of customers, which gives us confidence in returning to growth.
At the same time, margins improved, supported by continued efficiency gains and disciplined cost control. Personnel expenses declined by 16 percent year-on-year, process optimisation including automation, technology development and increased use of AI-enabled tools are driving productivity improvements. During the quarter, expanded automation reduced manual work in certain processes by around 60 percent, supporting a simpler operating model and higher service quality.
Investing performance remained solid and in line with active forecasts. We invested SEK 345 million during the quarter, maintaining strict pricing discipline in a competitive market. Our capital partnership strategy continued to develop positively, strengthening both Investing and Servicing revenues. Capital raise would accelerate investment pace eventually reversing the trend in investment income.
"The revised strategy together with the announced capital raise marks an important new beginning, and the first quarter represents the start of a longer journey."
As part of our revised strategy, we continued to unlock value from the balance sheet. In January, we signed the sale of the remaining co-owned portfolio with Cerberus for EUR 215 million at a material premium to book value. The consolidation of one of our joint ventures (the Savoy group), for which the valuation analysis resulted in a positive net impact of SEK 250 million, highlights the strong underlying value of our assets.
Looking ahead, our priorities are clear: reduce leverage, improve Servicing performance, return to growth to become the leading credit management servicer and the most attractive investing partner in Europe. The revised strategy together with the announced capital raise marks an important new beginning for Intrum, and the first quarter represents the start of a longer journey. With clearer direction and improved execution under Intrum 2030, we are committed to delivering stronger performance and rebuilding sustainable value over time.

Key financial metrics
Quarterly development
Total income amounted to SEK 3,754m (4,276). The year-on-year decline of 12 percent was driven by a decrease in Servicing fee income with ten percent, whereof four percent was related to FX. Total income was also affected by a smaller investment book within Investing and the absence of overperformance relative to the active forecast compared with the previous quarter.
Results from Shares of Associates and Joint Ventures amounted to SEK 120m (88), an increase compared to the first quarter last year. The increase came from stable underlying portfolio performance overtime in Portland, which gave a positive revaluation in Q1.
Operational costs continue to decrease by 12 percent year on year, with total costs amounting to SEK -2,922m (-3,322) for the quarter. Personnel expenses declined by 16 percent, supported by continued FTE reductions from 9,042 to 8,267. Other operating expenses also decreased, driven primarily by lower IT, legal and collection costs.
EBIT increased to SEK 1,493m (1,032), corresponding to an improvement of 45 percent year on year. The improvement was driven by a positive net credit gain of SEK 561m within Investing related to Savoy group (refer to Note 3 for the impact from Savoy group) and lower operational costs across the Group.
The Servicing EBIT margin amounted to 21 (20) percent, an increase of 1 pp year-on-year, reflecting continued effective cost control.
Depreciation and amortisation amounted to SEK -190m (-263), which reflects the lower asset base following impairments of intangible assets during 2025, resulting in reduced future amortisations.
Net financial expenses amounted to SEK -1,621m (-710). The increase was mainly driven by negative exchange rate effects of SEK -305m (-14), higher interest costs of SEK -874m (-676) and other financial items of SEK -298m (-6), where impairment of a financial asset related to notes impacted with SEK -307m.
Items affecting comparability (IAC) decreased to SEK 9m (67) for the quarter, in line with the strategy of lowering the IACs for the Group.
The servicing leverage ratio increased to 5.8x from 5.7x at year-end 2025, driven by a combination of lower servicing net debt of SEK 24,865m (25,190) and a slightly lower Servicing EBITDA of SEK 4,094m (4,205). The consolidation of Savoy Group had an positive impact on the servicing leverage ratio, as a larger share of the Group's borrowings was allocated to the Investing segment following the increase in portfolio assets.

External income amounted to SEK 2,737m (3,028), with negative organic growth of five percent accentuated by a negative exchange rate impact of four percent leading to a total decline of ten percent. The negative organic growth was driven by the specialised markets, while our traditional markets had low single-digit positive growth.
EBIT amounted to SEK 647m (689), with negative organic growth of two percent accentuated by a negative exchange rate impact of four percent leading to a total decline of six percent. The largest contributors to the negative organic growth on both Income and EBIT are two of our specialised markets, characterized by an underlying decline of the asset base and volatile collections.
The costs continued to decline and amounted to SEK 2,456m (2,722), with a six percent organic reduction together with a four percent exchange rate impact leading to a total decline of ten percent. Personnel expenses was the largest driver in absolute terms for the reduction within the segment.
This increased efficiency enabled the EBIT margin to increase to 21 percent (20) despite the shrinking income.

Investing

Towards the end of the quarter, Intrum consolidated one of its joint ventures (Savoy group). The valuation analysis of the asset leads to a net credit gain, which was partially offset by an impairment of financial asset related to notes impacted net financials. This had a positive net effect of SEK 250 m, highlighting the strong value of our underlying assets.
Income amounted to SEK 1,013m (1,243), with negative organic growth of 15 percent accentuated by a negative exchange rate impact of four percent leading to a total decline of 18 percent. The organic decline is a natural consequence of the capital-light strategy with a shrinking investment book. Savoy group did not impact operational income since it was consolidated at end of quarter (the impact from Savoy group is described in Note 3).
EBIT during the quarter amounted to SEK 1,054m (576) with the Savoy group's net credit gain as the main driver.
Collection performance came in at 100 percent (102) of active forecast for the quarter. During the period, Intrum invested SEK 345m (272) at an IRR of 19 percent (24) in line with the strategy to do selective opportunistic investments at high returns.
Book value continued to decrease, mainly as a consequence of the limited investments, and ended at SEK 25,614m (27,814). Excluding the consolidation of Savoy group, the book value would have been SEK 21,816m (23,408).

Notes
Note 1. Bases of preparations
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.
The accounting principles applied by the Group and the Parent Company Intrum AB (publ) are essentially unchanged compared with the 2025 Annual Report.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (April 2024): IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1 unchanged and complementing them with new requirements.
IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to:
- present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss;
- provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements; and
- improve aggregation and disaggregation.
An entity is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. The amendments to IAS 7 and IAS 33, as well as the revised IAS 8 and IFRS 7, become effective when an entity applies IFRS 18. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.
Management anticipates that the application of these amendments will have an impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Roundings and comparisons
Due to roundings, number presented in the interim report may not sum up to the exact total and percentages may differ from absolute figures.
Comparisons are made in writing, unless otherwise stated, with comparable figures from first quarter 2025.
Note 2. 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,
- 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 2025 Annual report. Intrum has a resilient business model and the demand for our services and solutions are expected to increase over the coming quarters.
Note 3. Development during the quarter
Parent Company
For the first quarter 2026, the Parent Company reported income of SEK 0 m (393) and gain before tax of SEK 76m (-439). The Parent Company held SEK 11 m (1,242) in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter. The result and financial position during the quarter reflects the business transfer performed in May 2025 as a part of the Recapitalization transaction, effectively transfer operational responsibilities and resources to its subsidiary Intrum Group Operations.
Development in the period
Total assets of the group as of 31 March amounted to SEK 70,879m (65,468) and is up 8 percent, compared to 31 December 2025. The increase in total assets is mainly attributable to the full consolidation of Savoy group, comprising Ithaca Investments DAC ("Ithaca"), Penelope SPV S.r.l ("Penelope") and Savoy Reoco S.r.l. ("Savoy"), contributing portfolio investments of SEK 3.7 bn. Total liabilities increased, primarily due to the recognition of borrowings of SEK 1.9 bn following the consolidation of Savoy group.
On 31 March 2026, Intrum acquired additional economic interest in Ithaca Investment DAC and entered into amendments to the co-investment agreement with the other co-investor, resulting in Intrum obtaining control over Ithaca. As a consequence, control extended to Penelope, an Italian special purpose vehicle of which Ithaca holds 95 percent of the mezzanine and junior notes, and to Savoy, a dedicated real-estate vehicle operating exclusively for the benefit of Penelope.
The Savoy group was previously accounted for as a joint venture using the equity method. Following the change in control, the Savoy group has been fully consolidated as from 31 March 2026. As a result of the transition from equity accounting to full consolidation, the Intrum Group derecognised shares in joint ventures of SEK 274 m, recognised an increase in consolidated equity of SEK 1.6 bn, and recognised an impairment of SEK -307m from financial assets related to notes within the net financial expense.
In addition to the transition effects arising from the change in control and consolidation method, Intrum consolidated the Savoy Group as from 31 March 2026. This resulted in a positive EBIT impact of SEK 570m, mainly related to a net credit gain of SEK 561m attributable to the underlying portfolio. The consolidated income statement and balance sheet of the Savoy Group are presented in the table below.

Note 5. Tax expenses
There were no significant tax-related items to note in Q1 2026. The tax expense is in line with forecast and slightly higher compared to Q1 2025.
Note 6. Fair value of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative assets and liabilities, and deferred considerations related to acquisitions of shares. Derivatives are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate observable market inputs and are therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. Deferred considerations are measured using unobservable inputs and are accordingly classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. There were no material changes in the fair value of Level 3 instruments during the period, nor any changes in valuation techniques or key assumptions. The Group did not have any material non-recurring fair value measurements during the period.
Most of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements. For outstanding bonds with a total nominal amount of SEK 33,584m (35,822) at the end of the quarter, the fair value is estimated at SEK 29,615m (27,773), based on quoted market prices. These fair values are disclosed for information purposes and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.

Assurance
The CEO hereby gives the assurance that the interim report provides a true and fair view of the business activities, financial position and results of operations of the Group and the Parent Company, and describes the significant risks and uncertainties to which the Parent Company and Group companies are exposed.
The interim report has been reviewed by the Company's auditors.

Auditor's Review Report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Intrum AB (publ) as of 31 March 2026 and for the three-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.

Intrum as an investment
Business model
Intrum operates two business areas, Servicing and Investing. Servicing accounts for around 70 percent of Group revenue and provides credit management services on behalf of clients, while Investing represents the remaining 30 percent and focuses on acquiring non-performing loans portfolios. Both business areas are managed through the same integrated operational platform, drawing on Intrum's long-standing experience in handling late payments and supporting customers' return to a sustainable financial situation. Servicing remains the strategic backbone, while Investing continues to contribute cash flow and performance, increasingly supported by partnerships that reduce balance sheet intensity. Together, the businesses create a balanced, resilient earnings base.
Favourable market environment for Intrum
As the European market leader, Intrum is well positioned to benefit from scale supported by resilience to macroeconomic conditions through its diversified geographical presence and business mix. In an evolving competitive landscape, Intrum offers a full scope of services, combining underwriting capabilities, capital partnerships and scaled servicing platform. Our presence across 20 countries, rich data and platform optimisation support accelerated technology adoption, efficiency and growth, while scale and a proven track record remain key advantages in an increasingly regulated environment.
Long-term client relationships and trusted conduct
Intrum serves around 70,000 clients and manages approximately 130 million customer interactions each year. Many of its top 15 clients have stayed with the company for more than 15 years, and contract renewal rates are on average around 85 percent. Intrum's reputation for compliance, respectful treatment and effective collections makes it a trusted long term-partner and a strong platform for continued client growth.
Proven business model with stabilising performance and cash flows
Intrum's business model has proven resilient through different macro cycles. Servicing profitability is stabilising, organic performance is improving, and cost-efficiency measures are showing results. Combined with predictable case volumes and disciplined capital allocation, Intrum is moving towards a more resilient, service-driven earnings mix.
