NEO Finance, AB manager's comment

The company's revenues in Q2 2023, compared to Q2 2022, surged by an impressive 45%, reaching EUR 1,094 thousand.

In the second quarter of 2023, NEO Finance, AB, experienced continued growth across all business segments, similar to the first quarter. The company's revenues in Q2 2023, compared to Q2 2022, surged by an impressive 45%, reaching EUR 1,094 thousand. The significant boost in revenues can be attributed to a substantial increase of 47% in

income from peer-to-peer lending activities. Additionally, with the rise in demand for consumer loans and active investments in consumer loans to ensure speedy loan financing, investment-related income skyrocketed by an outstanding 124%, reaching EUR 53.9 thousand. Furthermore, payment-related revenues saw a commendable growth of 27% during the comparative period.

The administered loan portfolio in the peer-to-peer lending business reached EUR 62.6 million by the end of the second quarter, marking a considerable increase of EUR 4.9 million from EUR 57.7 million at the
