RNS Number : 1436N  ZAIM Credit Systems PLC  18 January 2023

 For Immediate Release

18 January 2023

Zaim Credit Systems Plc

("Zaim" or the "Group")

 

Unaudited financial results for six months ended 30 June 2022

Navigation through Challenging Times

Zaim Credit Systems plc (the 'Group' or 'Zaim'), announces its unaudited
financial results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022. A copy of the
full interim results will be available on the Company's website.

Please note that these unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2022
relate to the consolidated results of Zaim Credit Systems plc and Zaim Express
LLC (Zaim Express).  As announced on 28 September 2022 there is a discrepancy
with regard to the ownership of the share capital of Zaim Express and the
Company is continuing to experience a lack of effective operating control over
Zaim Express, which historically (and during the reported period) has carried
out the Group's main trading activities.  The Company plans to announce more
details of this discrepancy shortly and these results should be read in the
context of that announcement as this will have a significant impact on the
financial results of the Company for the next financial reporting period.

Key H1 2022 Highlights of Group Performance (including Zaim Express)

•    Strong growth in the amount of overall loans issued for the H1 2022
period by 53% to £17.53m (H1 2021: £11.45m);

 

•    Mobile application launched in the second quarter of 2021 became an
important sales channel with loans issued growing by 13 times to £2.05m (H1
2021: £0.16m)

 

•    Operating income grew by 11% to £2.2m (H1 2021: £1,98m)

 

•    Gross outstanding loans to customers increased by 73% to £63.18m
(H1 2021: £36.47m)

 

•    Total outstanding loans, measured at amortised cost grew by 56% to
£4,41m (H1 2021: £2,83m)

 

 

 Zaim CEO, Siro Cicconi commented:

 

" Zaim Express generated good results during the first half of 2022. During
the period the amount of loans issued grew by 53% vs. the first half of 2021
on the back of 48% growth of loans issued online to £14.37m and loans issued
via mobile application (launched in the Q2 2021), growing by 13 times to
£2.05m. In the first half of 2022 82% of loans were issued online vs. 85% in
the first half of 2021 and 12% were issued via mobile application vs. 1% in
the first half of 2021. The share of loans issued offline decreased from 14%
in the first half of 2021 to 6% in the first half of 2022.

 

Nevertheless, interest income decreased by 7% from £4.25m to £3.94m.
Operating income grew by 11% to £2.2m.

Gross outstanding loans to customers increased by 73% from £36.47m in the
first half of 2021 to £63.18m in the first half of 2022. At the same time
total outstanding loans, measured at amortised cost grew by 56% from £2.83m
to £4.41m

Given the excellent progress made by the Zaim Express business in difficult
conditions since 2020, I am very sad about the events that have taken place
since the end of this reporting period that mean that the Company will not in
the short term at least receive the cashflow benefits of this improved
performance"

As at 30 June 2022, the man participant of the Company is Zaim Holdings
SA (with share of votes 69.27%). The ultimate controlling party of the Group
is an individual - Mr. Siro Donato Cicconi.

Subsidiary has 24 stores as at 30 June 2022 (31 December, 2021: 26 stores),
from which it conducts business throughout the Russian Federation.

 

 

According to the review of the Central Bank of Russia of the MFO market in the
1st Q 2022, the volume of microloans issued in the first quarter fell by 8% to
175 billion rubles. Since the beginning of the year, the share of overdue
microloans  (NPL90 +) has increased by 1.7 percentage points to 31.3%.  In
the 1st Q 2022, there was a tendency to increase the indebtedness of borrowers
of microfinance companies. The share of clients paying off 80% of their income
for microloans increased from 47% to 52% in the first quarter of 2022. At the
same time, the share of clients giving 30% of their income to pay off
microloans decreased from 21% to 19%.

 

Experts expect some slowdown of the MFO market in 2022. Among the possible
reasons:

 

- Tightening of the policy of the Central Bank аnd other legal restrictions

- Growth of competition

- Unstable financial situation of the borrower

 

 

The unstable economic situation of the country may lead to an increase in the
demand for microloans, but due to the tightening of the risk policy and the
updated scoring systems of microfinance companies, a low percentage of
applications will receive a positive decision. An increase in the cost of
attracting a borrower is expected, and this reduces the margin and the growth
rate of the microcredit market.

The growth of the microfinance market may be due to an increase in the share
of e-commerce and the introduction of new products. Experts believe that the
growth of MFOs is possible, for example, due to the cooperation of microcredit
companies with marketplaces, as it will lead to more reliable borrowers. In
addition, microloans will be actively developed in the online segment.

Experts also believe that the pandemic not only did not damage microcredit,
but, on the contrary, contributed to the consolidation of the market, the
improvement of the quality of portfolios, and accelerated the transition to
the online segment. Small companies disappear from the market, and the
initiative passes to larger players who are able to attract investments,
develop their own technological platforms, diversify their activities and
interact with regulators.

 

During first half of year 2022 the business of the Group experienced new
challenge, resulted in decrease of proceeds from collecting activity (due to
moratorium for collecting activity introduced by the authorities after special
operation at Ukrain). As a result, the cash position decreased that leads to
decrease in amount issued, to keep cash balance. That influenced the
profitability of the Group n 2nd Q 2022. At the current moment, Group are
improving proceeds from collecting activity due to new court deals (released
after the 1st April 2022, that are excluded from moratorium). That allows to
increase amount issued and significantly improve profitability of  business.

 

The Group's perspective is to continue development of online strategy and
focus on collecting activities.

 

 

2.  Basis of preparation

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting
Standards and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements set out above do not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006.
They have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the
recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Statutory financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were approved by the Board of
Directors on 17 May 2022 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

 

The condensed  consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have
not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor, Shipley's LLP.

 

Going concern

 

This financial information reflects Group's management's current assessment of
the impact of the Russian business environment on the operations and the
financial position of Group. The future economic direction of the Russian
Federation is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of measures undertaken
by the Russian Federation Government and other factors, including regulatory
and political developments which are beyond Group's control. Group's
management cannot predict what impact these factors can have on Group's
financial position in future. This financial information was prepared on a
going concern assumption.

 

The above factors in conjunction with continuing economic and political
changes taking place in the Russian Federation indicate that a material
uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on Group's ability to
continue as a going concern. This ability depends on future events, including
achieving the level of the loans to customers portfolio sufficient to incur
costs and earn profits and the ability and willingness of Group's sole
participant to continue with financial assistance to Group.

 

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In 2022,
the Group  continues to develop an online business model (remote lending via
the Internet, which resulted in a significant decrease in fixed lease and
staff costs and a decrease in the share of lending costs within total
expenses). The Group continues to optimise the network operation, including
removal of loss-making outlets and enhancement of the Internet channel to
attract customers. The Group is actively collecting overdue debts, inter alia,
through legal action.

The Directors consider that the Group has sufficient funds to undertake its
operating activities for a period of at least the next 12 months including any
additional expenditure required in relation to any adverse impacts from the
Covid-19 Pandemic or situations with Russian-Ukrainian relations. The Group
has cash reserves which are considered sufficient by the Directors to fund the
Group's desired strategy of increasing the loan book both online and in the
store.

 

 

 

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Director continuously assesses and monitors the key risks of the business.
The key risks that could affect Group's medium-term performance and the
factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those
set out in Group's 2021 Financial Information. The key financial risks are
liquidity risk, interest rate risk.

The economy of the Russian Federation continues to display certain
characteristics of an emerging market. These characteristics include, in
particular, inconvertibility of the national currency in most countries
outside of Russia and relatively high inflation rates. The current Russian
tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations
and frequent changes. The country's economy depends on movements of oil and
gas prices.

The future economic development of the Russian Federation is largely dependent
upon the effectiveness of economic measures, financial mechanisms and monetary
policies adopted by the Government, together with tax, regulatory, and
political developments.

 

Critical accounting estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial information
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to
such estimates are set out in note 3 of Group's 2021 Financial Information.
The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during
the interim period.

 

Currency

 

The GBP was chosen as the presentation currency of the consolidated financial
information, as the shareholders of Group use information prepared in GBP to
make decisions and evaluate the financial results of Group.

 

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial information, the
financial results and balance sheet items of Subsidiary are translated into
the presentation currency of Group in accordance with the requirements of
International Accounting Standard IAS 21 "Effect of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates" as follows:

 

(a) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or
valuation where such items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Gains and losses on purchase and sale of foreign currency are determined as a
difference between the selling price and the carrying amount at the date of
the transaction.

(b) Group companies

 The results and financial position of all the Group's entities that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated
into the presentation currency as follows:

   1. assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position
presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of
financial position;

   2. each component of profit or loss is translated at average exchange
rates during the accounting period (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the
dates of the transactions); and

   3.  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income

 

3.  Significant accounting policies

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information have been prepared
under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain
of the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities to fair value for consolidation
purposes.

 

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have
been followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial information as
were applied in the preparation of Group's Financial Information for the year
ended 31 December 2021 (see Note 3).

The ECL allowance for loans and advances to customers recognised during the
period is impacted by various factors. The table below describes the main
changes:

·           transfers between Stages 1 and 2 and Stage 3  due to
significant increase (or decrease) in credit exposure or impairment during the
period and subsequent increase (or decrease) in the estimated ECL level: for
12 months or over the entire period;

·           accrual of additional allowances for new financial
instruments recognised during the period, as well as reduction in allowance as
a result of derecognition of financial instruments during the period;

·           impact on ECL estimation due to changes in model
assumptions, including changes in probability of default, EAD and LGD during
the period resulting from regular updating of the model inputs.

The ECL allowance for loans to customers recognized during the period is
impacted by different factors.  Information on the assessment of expected
credit losses is disclosed in Note 3 of Group's Financial Statements for the
year 2020.

The Group uses the following approach to measurement of expected credit
losses:

·      portfolio-based measurement: internal ratings are assigned
individually, but the same credit risk parameters (e.g. PD, LGD) are applied
to similar credit risk ratings and homogeneous credit portfolio segments in
the process of ELC estimation.

This approach provides for aggregation of the portfolio into homogeneous
segments on the basis of specific information on borrowers, such as delinquent
loans, historic data on prior period losses and forward-looking macroeconomic
information.

The amounts of loans recognised as "past due" represent the entire balance of
such loans rather than the overdue amounts of individual payments.

 

5.  Lease

 

The Group has agreements for lease of premises.

The Group did not apply a simplified approach to recognise lease modifications
allowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was a significant decrease in the number of concluded lease agreements
in the year 2020 due to reduced business activity because of Covid-19 pandemic
(as a measure to prevent unprofitable business) and also because of
intentions of management to develop the new business-model - which supposes
substantial share of online-loans.  In 1 half year 2022 there was no
significant reduction of stores, only two of them were closed as the result of
monitoring for unprofitableness
