Successful track record of adapting to interest cap regulation
■In late 2014, Estonia introduced regulation for an upper limit to the cost of consumer loans
■ While this led to the average yield decreasing, Ferratum started targeting customers with
lower credit risk, which in turn had a very positive impact on credit losses
Since introduction of the cap in 2014, Ferratum has seen strong profitable growth in its
loan book in Estonia
■ In September 2018, the Swedish government introduced an interest/cost cap on consumer
loans
■The initial development seen in Q4 2018 shows that the adoption of the interest rate cap
in Sweden had little impact on the Group's performance
■ Credit losses are decreasing, new customers are being acquired and both revenues and
the loan book is still increasing in Sweden
■ In essence, interest rate caps result in Ferratum tightening its scoring, which leads to better
payment behaviour
■ While the revenues per granted loan decrease on average, the impact on profitability is
mitigated through the de-risked profile of the customers, resulting in lower credit losses
■ As evident from 14 years of previous experience and a strong track record, Ferratum is well
equipped to handle regulatory changes
■ While the operational parameters of a market may change, the Group has proven it is
highly flexible and prepared to adapt to a new environment while retaining its growth
track and profitability
