Interim report Q2 2021

Hoist Finance’s second quarter was stable in terms of performance, but with limited growth. The market saw quite a lot of activity, but the competition was very high, leading to high-priced portfolios. The collection performance was solid at 102%. Without one-off effects, profit before tax was SEK 64m.

“We need to focus and improve performance. We are initiating a transformation to accelerate portfolio acquisitions, improve productivity and reduce costs,” says Per Anders Fasth, CEO of Hoist Finance.
