Lending company integration updates

Eleving Group obtains ExpressCredit through integration

Eleving Group has started the process of integrating EC Finance Group Ltd., better known as ExpressCredit, into its direct subsidiary AS Eleving Finance. ExpressCredit is a consumer finance provider operating in the Southern African region. As a result of the transaction, Eleving Group is taking over ExpressCredit’s assets, subsidiaries, and client portfolio, and is increasing Eleving Group’s equity.

This transaction aims to expand the company’s operations in the African region. Eleving Group already has a strong presence in Kenya and Uganda, where the company’s core product is vehicle financing, primarily servicing the self-employed and SME segment. With the integration of ExpressCredit, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, and Zambia are being added to Eleving Group’s portfolio in Africa. Eleving Group plans to continue to offer already established consumer finance services in the new markets and implement new products.

Please note that Mintos investors are not impacted by the Notes backed by loans of Eleving Group, nor will ExpressCredit change in any way due to this transaction. Moreover, Eleving Group (Luxemburg) will provide the corporate guarantee for the liabilities of ExpressCredit Botswana in the Notes setup, and Zambia’s exposure toward investors will continue to be paid according to the previously agreed schedule.

Please note that Mintos investors are not impacted. Sun Finance and Zenka Notes will not change in any way.

DelfinGroup reports revenue growth by 52% in Q2 2023

DelfinGroup continued to show stable growth in all business segments in the second quarter of 2023, which was reflected in the financial results. The company has provided the following operational and financial information: 

DelfinGroup’s revenue in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 52% compared to the same period last year, reaching €12M. The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased to €4M, up 41% compared to Q2 2022, while profit before tax increased by 7% to €2M. The company’s loan portfolio has reached €78M, up 16% since the beginning of the year.

Eleving Group reports a net portfolio of €295M in Q2 2023

Eleving Group has announced unaudited results for the first half of 2023. The company has provided the following operational and financial information: 

Eleving Group recorded €90.6M in revenues in Q2 2023. Lease and subscription-based products contributed to €25.2M of the revenue, up 7.2%, compared to the last six months of 2022. This was driven by lending in the motorcycle-taxi segment in East Africa and a scale-up of rental and subscription-based products in the Baltics.

Traditional lease and leaseback products contributed €34M to Q2 2023 revenues, up 7.9% compared to the respective period in 2022. This revenue growth was mainly attributable to portfolio growth in Romania; however, nearly all of the company’s other markets experienced positive incremental growth. Revenues from the consumer loan segment contributed €27.6M to the half-year revenue, down 11% compared to the last six months of 2022. The 11% drop exclusively stemmed from the run-down of the Ukrainian portfolio, as the revenues of all other consumer finance markets increased during the corresponding timespan.

Eleving Group’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)  in the respective period reached €36.1M, compared to €30.7M a year ago, while the adjusted net profit before FX amounted to €13.6M, an increase of €4.6M compared to the first six months of 2022.
