AS DelfinGroup chairman of the Board, Didzis Ādmīdiņš: “The company continues robust growth and achieves all the milestones of its long-term plan to reach 51 MEUR loan portfolio by the end of 2022 and a 70 MEUR loan portfolio by the end of 2024. We have successfully diversified our risks and, despite restrictions and uncertainties related to COVID-19, continue to provide healthy growth. Over the last six months the company’s net loan portfolio has been growing at a rate of approximately one million euros per month. At the end of first quarter 2021 the loan portfolio was 29.7 MEUR, at the end of Q3 2021 it reached almost 36 MEUR and keeps growing. At this rate we are confident to reach the targeted profit before tax of 8.7 MEUR for 2022.”
It’s worth mentioning that the quality of the consumer loan portfolio has also improved during this year. The proportion of loans, with payment delays over 90 days, has decreased to 3.6% of the total loan portfolio, which is another all-time best result of the company.
“We keep automating and digitalizing our existing services and introduce new ones. We have launched the new Banknote app to allow our customers to conveniently browse over all payments and available services. We see the most rapid increase of customer activity in online channels. I’d like to also emphasize the role of our pre-owned goods online store as a contributor to the circular economy. The decision to go public and have our shares listed on Nasdaq Riga Baltic Main List has been helpful – the publicity of AS DelfinGroup and the public interest in our company has increased,” says D.Ādmīdiņš.
