Statement by the CEO:

Strong end to 2016 — continued healthy growth and focus on digital launches and partners

Strong growth in lending and earnings 

The year ended with yet another strong quarter. The loan portfolio grew 17 per cent to over SEK 21 billion, much stronger than our communicated annual growth target of about 10 per cent. Growth was driven by the banking segments, Payment Solutions and Consumer Loans, with contributions from all of our markets. Net profit for the quarter also improved SEK 244 million, up 38 per cent excluding nonrecurring costs, driven by higher business volumes and continued strong control over both costs and credit losses.

Successful performance of the operations continues 

In Payment Solutions, we continued to drive sales together with our retail finance partners, which generated success throughout the Nordics for both us and our partners in the fourth quarter. Further collaborations were entered into with new partners. Our card operations, led by Supreme Card, passed a new milestone during the year when we achieved a total annual transaction volume of more than SEK 4 billion. We saw improvements in several areas with more cards issued and a growing number of transactions per card. Consumer Loans performed very well during the year and the fourth quarter was the strongest ever. Our focus was on the digitisation of business processes to build a higher level of customer satisfaction and internal efficiency. Discontinuation of the UK insurance operations in the Insurance segment was charged to fourth-quarter earnings. The strong performance of core business continued, with high profitability and growth.

Digital innovations and applications 

During the quarter, our determined efforts to develop and launch new and innovative solutions for our partners and consumers continued. The digitisation of offline business continued, and more and more stores implemented our digital application service. Our aim is that all of our Nordic partners will start using the digital application service in 2017. Our mobile app, Loyo, performed successfully during the year and the number of users continued to increase. The first digital wallet in the Nordic region, Loyo Pay, which can be used for payments across all channels – online, in apps and physical stores – was launched during the quarter. Technically, the product is complete but it will still be some time before the retail sector is mature enough for mobile payments. We are currently conducting testing activities, with about 100 testers helping us to identify various retail issues. We are also working actively with other retail stakeholders and organisations to drive forward the development of digital services.

A fantastic and eventful year

2016 was a fantastic and eventful year for Resurs. We launched new digital services for both our partners and consumers, entered into collaborations with several new partners and carried out a successful IPO. At the same time, we delivered strong growth and profitability quarter after quarter, and ended the fourth quarter with an all-time high in several areas. That confirms the strength of our business model. In 2017, we will continue to focus on innovative digital and promotional solutions, and on close collaboration with our partners.
