Results summary

We delivered strong growth and progressed towards achieving profitability.
| ($m, year ending 31 March) | FY20 | FY21 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loan originations | 286.4 | 470.4 | +64% |
| Loan portfolio period end | 380.9 | 614.6 | +61% |
| Loan portfolio average | 310.8 | 452.2 | +45% |
| Revenue | 41.5 | 53.1 | +28% |
| Net charge off rate | 2.3% | 1.0% | (59)% |

| Cash NPAT (pro forma) | (11.6) | (6.8) | +$4.8m |
Originations and loan portfolio

Our loan portfolio growth reflected strong loan originations and our shift towards long term automotive and renewable energy loans.

Auto Renewable Personal
- Loan portfolio size is the key driver of Plenti's revenue and profitability. The 61% increase in FY21 was driven by:
- Strong originations 1H grew 33% on PCP despite COVID impacts and 2H grew 88% on PCP
- Slowing loan amortisation (loan payback) rates
- a) 4.8% per month in H1 as COVID uncertainty drove higher repayments
- b) 4.0% per month in H2 as early repayments normalised and as the portfolio shifted towards longer loan term automotive and renewable energy loans
- c) Amortisation rate is expected to continue to reduce in future, noting H2 monthly amortisation rate for automotive loans was 2.7%
Margins

We drove a material uplift in net interest margin post realised credit losses in FY21.

- Net interest margin (NIM) is the driver from loan portfolio size to earnings
- Interest yield (the yield on customer loans) reduced due to:
- The shift in the loan portfolio to automotive and renewable energy loans which, being lower risk, typically attract lower interest rates (~60% of yield reduction in loans originated in FY21 vs FY20 loans)
- Borrower interest rate reductions, in part reflecting a lower interest rate environment including the 140bps cut in the RBA cash rate over the past two years (~40% of FY21 interest yield reduction)
- The funding rate declined mostly as a consequence of a greater proportion of loans being funded from lower cost warehouse facilities
- Realised credit losses reduced materially due to the mix shift to lower risk loans, the higher proportion of newer loans in the portfolio and economy-wide factors such as JobKeeper
- The NIM post realised credit margins increased materially during FY21, reflecting the net impact of the factors described above
Profit and loss

Our Cash NPAT improved in FY21 despite COVID-19 impacts.

- Revenue growth reflects loan origination and loan portfolio growth

- Product development investment increased to accelerate technology enhancements
- G&A increased due to increased loan processing and credit costs, as well as investment in team, including post IPO equity incentive program

Notes:
-
Funding cost component relates to interest charged on convertible notes which converted to ordinary equity at IPO. G&A expense relates to the loss on derivative fair value due to an increase in the fair value of the derivative liability to listing date on the convertible notes.
-
JobKeeper payments relate to payments received from the Australian government in relation to COVID-19. One-off COVID-19 salary reductions net of IPO bonus paid to staff who took salary cuts.
-
IPO costs include legal and accounting due diligence costs, as well as corporate adviser fees and listing costs. A further $2.8mof IPO costs were recognised directly in equity and are included in the cash flow statement in investing activities.
-
Share-based payments relates to the expected accelerated vesting of the existing incentive plan arrangement on IPO which is a one-off non-cash transaction. Ordinary ESOP costs incurred in the period have not been adjusted.
-
Customer loan impairment expense component relates to a change in Plenti's bad debt write-off policy during the period, which was increased from 120 to 180 days to align with market practice. This resulted in a period of lower than usual net charge-offs being recorded. While the lower charge-off expense was partially offset by a higher loan impairment provision charge resulting from fewer aged loans being written off, Plenti has sought to estimate the net remaining benefit and has reversed this out of the pro forma result as this is a non-recurring benefit. by the additional. . G&A expense relates to the pro forma adjustment for costs of being a public company in 1H21..
