Hoist Finance Year-end report 2021

Higher collections and portfolio acquisitions

“Our business environment has improved even though Covid-19 continues to be a concern. Income in the quarter increased compared to both last year as well as the previous quarter. During the last months of 2021 we reached significant improvements in collection performance. We participated in a high number of acquisition processes and signed some attractive deals in the latter part of the year. The portfolio from Alpha Bank in Greece stands out at more than SEK 1.1bn, and will have a positive impact on our profitability for 2022 and beyond. Including these portfolios total acquired volumes totalled SEK 4.7bn, which is Hoist Finance’s third highest annual acquisition level.” says Per Anders Fasth, CEO.
