Highlights

  • Operational Performance $\overline{\mathbf{2}}$
  • NAB Strategic Partnership $\mathbf{3}$

Loan portfolio •28% increase in average portfolio on pcp
Revenue •47% revenue growth to $211m
Cash NPAT •Cash NPAT of $6.1m –up 36% on pcp
Margins •Maintained portfolio margins despite funding cost headwinds
Costs •Continued to demonstrate economies of scale –operating costs up 14% against 28% average portfolio growth
Cash flow •Positive operating cash flow, with portfolio growth funded via capital recycling
ABS issuance •Completed two ABS transactions –total lifetime ABS issuance now >$2.1bn
Warehouses •Effective BAU management and introduced new more efficient rated structure
Corporate funding •Stable platform in place –extended corporate facility, effective recycling of ABS notes

Note: Effective yield, net interest margin and transaction costs calculated as % of average loan portfolio in period. Plenti expects to revise effective terms from 1 April which will impact the 1H25 result. Funding costs calculated as % of average funding debt.

  • Net interest margin (NIM) for FY24 was 5.2%, with margins stable halfon-half
    • NIM also stable year-on-year with FY23 portfolio margin of 5.2%
    • Margins maintained despite ongoing increase in market interest rates, particularly in 1H24, with Plenti active in managing borrower rates to protect loan profitability
  • Exit rate NIM on new originations (April/May average) at 5.5% broadly consistent with maintaining stable portfolio NIM given faster amortisation of higher-NIM personal loans in book
  • Review of effective interest rate accounting assumptions has been undertaken for FY25 – impact depends on origination mix but will tend to increase NIM with offset in higher transaction costs for coming financial year

  • FY24 net realised loan impairment expense of 1.06% was in line with expectations in the current macroeconomic environment
  • Moderate variation between 1H24 and 2H24, noting the first half benefitted from a debt sale which concentrated recoveries in this period
  • The net loss rate was an increase on the 0.68% rate in FY23, as expected and communicated, given the extremely benign credit environment through the COVID period
  • March/April average net loss rate of 1.16% is broadly representative of current portfolio performance
  • ECL provision at 31 March 2024 was $47.1m or 2.20% of loan portfolio, with bridge on left setting out factors driving change from prior year-end
    • Largest component of increase is portfolio growth, but provision rates have also increased principally due to higher arrears
  • March is typically a seasonal high point for arrears in the year, with some additional impact in March 2024 due to Easter coinciding with period end

Cash NPAT 4.5 6.1 36%
  • Full year Cash NPAT of $6.1m, an increase of 36% on prior year
  • Cash NPAT growth achieved due to strong revenue and margin growth, with controlled costs offsetting funding and impairment expense headwinds
  • Growth in revenue of 46% reflected 28% increase in average loan book as well as higher average borrower rates, with Other income growth supported by upfront revenue from NAB partnership
  • Realised loan impairments grew by $10.4m due to portfolio growth and reversion of loss rates to levels more consistent with historic experience by loan product - loss rate of 1.06% remained within expected range
  • Continued focus on operating leverage as portfolio grows with operating costs up 14%, including impact on costs of establishing strategic partnership with NAB
  • Continued to expense all technology investment in the year with total Product development expense of $12.6 million

This includes the value of share-based payments which are not included in the calculation of Cash NPAT but excludes funding costs and credit losses. 'NAB powered by Plenti' loan volume will be included in loan portfolio value in respect of cost trajectory

  • Plenti's 1H23 results set out an ambition to achieve a $25m cost benefit as we double the loan book from $1.5bn to $3.0bn
  • The chart on the left shows the required trajectory of costs against loan book growth to achieve this result, as well as the actual trajectory to date
  • Based on the last 3 halves, we remain on track to deliver on our objective

    1. Warehouses include settlement facility but both warehouses and ABS funding values exclude $55.8m of notes held by Plenti which eliminate on consolidation
    1. $268m warehouse headroom comprised of $259.9m underdrawn warehouse capacity and $7.6m in cash funds already drawn but available for loan funding
    1. Reported corporate cash includes $24.0m (Mar-23: $10.m) in customer collections accounts which are received in Plenti corporate accounts and then regularly swept to relevant funding vehicles. These funds are not available for general corporate purposes

No recommendation, offer, invitation or advice

The material in this presentation is general background information about Plenti Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries, and is current at the date of the presentation, 22 May 2024.

The information in this presentation is of a general nature and does not purport to be complete or to provide all information that an investor should consider when making an investment decision. It should be read in conjunction with the Company's IPO prospectus and other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements lodged with the ASX, including the FY24 Full Year Results announcement and other FY24 results materials. Neither the Company nor its representatives have independently verified any data provided by third parties.

This presentation does not constitute advice (of any kind) to current or potential investors and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular investor. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the presentation. The Company is not obliged to, and does not represent that it will, update the presentation for future developments.

This presentation is not an offer, invitation, solicitation or other recommendation with respect to the subscription for, purchase or sale of any securities in the Company. This presentation has been made available for information purposes only and does not constitute a prospectus, short form prospectus, profile statement, offer information statement or other offering document under Australian law or any other law. This presentation is not subject to the disclosure requirements affecting disclosure documents under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and does not contain all the information which would be required in such a disclosure document.

Exclusion of representations or warranties

This presentation may contain certain "forward looking statements". Forward risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company, can cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The Company makes no undertaking to update or revise such statements. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements made.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its related bodies corporate, directors, officers, employees, advisers and agents disclaim all liability and responsibility (including without limitation any liability arising from fault or negligence) for any direct or indirect loss or damage which may arise or be suffered through use or reliance on anything contained in, or omitted from, this presentation.

Non-IFRS financial measures

Recipients of this presentation should also be aware that certain financial information included in this Presentation is "non-IFRS financial information" under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: "Disclosing non-IFRS financial information". These measures include net loss rate, loan deferral rates, net charge-off rates, any "pro forma" measurements, average interest rates, average funding rates, cost to income ratios and loan portfolio amortisation rates. The Company believes this non-IFRS financial information may be useful to users in measuring the financial performance and conditions of the Company and its subsidiaries.

This non-IFRS financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by the Australian Accounting Standards Board or the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation, and therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should it be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards or IFRS. Recipients of this presentation are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information included in this presentation. Non-IFRS measures have not been subject to audit or review.
