Press releases

  • Profitul crește ca urmare a dezvoltării solide a afacerii în Europa de Est
  • Continuă trendul investițiilor mari în creanțe garantate și negarantate
  • Se intensifică ofensiva pe partea de digitalizare
Hamburg, Germania, 15 iulie 2020 – Prin urmărirea consecventă a poziționării sale strategice în domeniul investițiilor financiare și al colectării de debite cu ajutorul tehnologiilor moderne, Grupul EOS, cu sediul principal în Hamburg, a înregistrat o nouă creștere a cifrei de afaceri în exercițiul financiar 2019/2020. Cifra de afaceri a sporit cu 4,8%, atingând astfel suma de 853,1 milioane EUR și marcând un an deosebit de fructuos. Profitul înainte de dobânzi, impozite, depreciere și amortizare (EBITDA) a crescut la 343,4 milioane EUR.

Punctele forte regionale, ofensiva digitală și investițiile ridicate ca factori ai succesului

Creșterea profitului EOS, furnizor internațional de servicii financiare aparținând Grupului Otto, se datorează în special unui avans substanțial, de 31,3%, al cifrei de afaceri din Europa de Est. Alți factori care au contribuit în mod esențial la succes au fost măsurile puternice de digitalizare și dezvoltarea culturii organizaționale în cadrul Grupului EOS, precum și investițiile în creanțe garantate și negarantate și în imobiliare, situate la un nivel înalt constant, de 651,3 milioane EUR.

„Privesc cu mândrie la exercițiul financiar recent încheiat. Este cel mai mare succes din istoria Grupului EOS”, a declarat dl Klaus Engberding, Directorul General al companiei. „Aș dori să subliniez mai ales progresele considerabile din domeniul digitalizării, unde o sumă importantă, de 25 milioane EUR, a fost investită în extinderea și perfecționarea sistemelor noastre IT de bază, precum și accentul pus pe procesele de schimbare a culturii organizaționale. Utilizarea inteligenței artificiale și a unor sisteme avansate de analiză de date își va aduce contribuția la impulsionarea inovării în branșă. În special în perioadele marcate de nesiguranță, cum este această pandemie de coronavirus, procesele fiabile și de încredere, gestionarea profesionistă a creanțelor și finanțările sustenabile pentru agenții economici devin mai importante ca niciodată. Noi le putem oferi clienților noștri toate acestea și ne așteptăm la o evoluție pozitivă a afacerii și în anul care urmează.”

Germania rămâne cea mai importantă piață EOS

Pentru concernul EOS, regiunea cu cea mai mare cifră de afaceri rămâne Germania, cu o pondere de 35,6% din totalul încasărilor. Nivelul de 303,3 milioane EUR, în ușor regres față de anul precedent, se datorează în special vânzării EOS Health Honorarmanagement AG. În ciuda numărului mai mic de pachete semnificative de creanțe oferit pe competitiva piață germană, EOS s-a putut folosi de experiența sa îndelungată și de buna sa reputație pentru a obține portofolii reînnoibile decisive, confirmându-și astfel poziția de lider. Investițiile, în sumă totală de 236,0 milioane EUR, au depășit nivelul anului precedent, îndeosebi în domeniul creanțelor negarantate.

„Succesul din Germania se bazează mai ales pe excelența noastră operațională și pe eforturile intensive de vânzări depuse alături de clienții noștri. Coroborate cu numeroasele inițiative de digitalizare și cu excelenta noastră reputație - inclusiv în ceea ce privește protecția datelor - acestea ne transformă într-un partener atractiv și de încredere”, a declarat dl Andreas Kropp, membru în Comitetul Director al Grupului EOS și Director pentru Germania. „De aceea, și pentru a ne asigura viitorul, investim țintit în domeniile pe care le considerăm cele mai importante: angajați, cultură organizațională și tehnologie.”

Avansul consistent al cifrei de afaceri în Europa de Est a dus la rezultate record

În regiunea Europa de Est, EOS a înregistrat o cifră de afaceri record, de 266,7 milioane EUR - cu 63,6 milioane EUR mai mult decât în exercițiul financiar precedent. O pondere importantă în acest rezultat a avut-o creșterea consistentă a cifrei de afaceri din achiziții de creanțe, în special în Rusia și Polonia. Însă și în Croația, Ungaria, Serbia și Bulgaria cifrele de afaceri au progresat semnificativ. Acestor evoluții li s-au adăugat și alți factori de creștere importanți, cum ar fi extinderea programelor software de colectare „Kollecto +“ și, implicit, sporirea eficienței prelucrării creanțelor. În plus, și în exercițiul financiar recent încheiat, în Europa de Est, EOS a reușit să realizeze tranzacții importante în domeniul creditelor neperformante (NPL). Cele mai mari investiții NPL s-au efectuat în Polonia, Croația, Rusia și Ungaria. De asemenea, în Bulgaria s-au investit 350 milioane EUR într-un portofoliu NPL extins, aceasta reprezentând cea mai mare achiziție de creanțe garantate realizată până acum pe piața bulgară.

„Solida noastră expertiză locală, modul de abordare a restanțierilor, de la egal la egal, precum și colaborarea deschisă, onestă și adesea internațională cu clienții noștri dau roade“, explică dl Marwin Ramcke, membru în Comitetul Director al Grupului EOS și Director pentru Europa de Est. „Astfel am reușit să impulsionăm semnificativ colectarea de creanțe garantate și negarantate, precum și să partajăm cunoștințele și expertiza în cadrul Grupului. De asemenea, am realizat investiții substanțiale în portofolii de creanțe garantate în Slovenia și Serbia și suntem acum în măsură să prelucrăm în mod optim creanțe garantate și negarantate în toate țările Europei de Est”, a mai afirmat dl Ramcke.

Evoluții stabile ale afacerii în Europa de Vest

În Europa de Vest, evoluțiile foarte îmbucurătoare din Belgia, Franța și Austria au condus la o creștere a cifrei de afaceri cu 5%, depășind valoarea înregistrată în exercițiul financiar precedent. Societățile EOS regionale s-au impus din nou ca ofertant de top în domeniul achizițiilor de creanțe. În ciuda unei piețe dificile, s-a remarcat mai ales Franța, care a efectuat investiții sensibil mai mari atât în portofolii garantate cu ipoteci, cât și în portofolii negarantate. De asemenea, investițiile au crescut și în Belgia și Spania. De pildă, valoarea nominală a unui portofoliu de 47.000 de creanțe achiziționat în Belgia de EOS Aremas de la bpost bank se ridică la 36 milioane EUR.

„Grupul EOS este foarte bine poziționat în Europa de Vest. Datorită expertizei noastre și experienței îndelungate de care dispunem, în special în domeniul bancar și în cel al telecomunicațiilor, suntem partenerul strategic preferat al clienților noștri”, explică Dr. Andreas Witzig, membru în Comitetul Director al Grupului EOS și Director pentru Europa de Vest și America de Nord. „Investim masiv în Big Data și în analiza de date și ajutăm la soluționarea problemelor legate de creditele neperformante (NPL). În ciuda crizei generate de coronavirus, care a afectat foarte puternic în special Franța și Spania, rămânem un partener strategic preferat și de încredere în domeniul colectării fiduciare de debite și al achizițiilor de creanțe”, confirmă dl Witzig.

Investiții în creștere în America de Nord

Cu un plus de 2,6 milioane EUR la cifra de afaceri, regiunea America de Nord a înregistrat o creștere de 5%, depășind ușor nivelul anului precedent. În SUA a dat rezultate concentrarea strategică pe domeniul achizițiilor de creanțe, în care EOS a investit un total de 28,8 milioane EUR, adică circa 4 milioane EUR mai mult decât în anul precedent. În Canada, cifra de afaceri s-a situat sensibil peste cea înregistrată în exercițiul financiar 2018/2019, depășind cu mult valorile prognozate. S-a amplificat mai ales accentul pus pe operațiunile de natură fiduciară.

„Pentru Grupul EOS, piața nord-americană nu este un mediu tocmai comod, însă Canada evoluează foarte îmbucurător“, observă Dr. Andreas Witzig, membru în Comitetul Director al Grupului EOS și Director pentru Europa de Vest și America de Nord. „Acolo am reușit, în ultimii ani, să devenim lider de piață în domeniul colectării fiduciare de debite și să depășim semnificativ așteptările referitoare la cifra de afaceri și la profitul pentru 2019/2020. Împreună cu echipa noastră canadiană, suntem foarte mândri de aceste rezultate. În SUA, investițiile crescânde în achiziții de creanțe indică un trend pozitiv. Dorim să continuăm această orientare și în exercițiul financiar actual”, mai adaugă dl Witzig.

  • New highs in revenue and EBITDA
  • Strong investment in debt purchases: another step towards becoming a global financial investor
  • “We will greatly expand our real estate-secured business, besides unsecured debt purchasing.”

Hamburg, Germany; July 16, 2019 – EOS Group, with headquarters in Hamburg, increased its revenue in financial 2018/19 by 2.3 percent to EUR 813.7 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew to EUR 283.6 million. Thus, the international provider of customized financial services, which belongs to Otto Group, chalked up a new record in both key performance indicators. One of the main reasons for the positive development was the high investment in the purchase of unsecured and secured debt portfolios: EOS invested EUR 668 million in receivables and real estate in the last financial year and is evolving more and more into a global financial investor.

EOS EBITA development until 2018/19

High investment in debt purchases continues unabated

“I am happy about the extremely satisfactory financial year,” says Klaus Engberding, Chairman of the EOS Group’s Board of Directors. “Both for revenue and for profit, we once again achieved an outstanding level. Despite the financial year harmonization in the previous year*, we were able to increase the revenue of EOS Group. This is a clear sign of our sustainable business growth,” states Engberding. “We will greatly expand our real estate-secured business, besides unsecured debt purchasing. With our data-driven technologies, we can optimally assess and process receivables – the perfect basis for continuing to invest strongly in worldwide debt purchases.”

*In the 2017–2018 reporting period around 30 EOS companies were included with 14 instead of 12 months in the consolidated year-end financial statements.

EOS Group comprises more than 60 companies in 26 countries and employs more than 7,500 people. Via a partner network, EOS offers smart services to its around 20,000 customers in 180 countries around the world.

EOS Consolidated revenue by region 2018/19

Germany remains most important EOS market

With a share of around 42 percent of consolidated revenue, Germany remains the strongest market in EOS Group in terms of revenue. In financial 2018/19 sales revenue there rose to EUR 341.1 million. “Despite the aggressive price competition, we were able to not only increase our investments in debt purchases by around a quarter but also expand our fiduciary business by 18 percent,” explains Andreas Kropp, Member of the EOS Group’s Board of Directors and responsible for the German market. “We also stepped up investments in real estate-secured receivables and real estate to be restructured. Our inventory of commercial real estate nearly doubled.”

Eastern Europe with an increase in secured receivables

In Eastern Europe, EOS is enjoying all-time highs: “We are very proud of our result in Eastern Europe for the last financial year,” says Marwin Ramcke, Member of the EOS Group’s Board of Directors and responsible for this region. “At 203.2 million euros, revenue exceeds that of the previous year by more than ten percent. Earnings before tax are also much higher than in last reporting period.” For both KPIs, EOS reached the highest level ever in this region. “We were able to increase our investment volume in bad debt portfolios again. Especially in Poland and Croatia, but also in Russia and Slovakia, the level from the previous year was clearly surpassed,” comments Ramcke. Investment in secured receivables in particular was expanded; EOS is now active in this field in nine Eastern European countries. Ramcke: “We continue to see excellent growth opportunities in this segment and plan on expanding the business segment to all our Eastern European locations in the future.” 

Growth in Western Europe and North America

Adjusted for a one-time effect, the revenue of EOS for West Europe showed an increase. “One of the reasons for our positive development in this region was stronger investments in debt purchases,” comments Andreas Witzig, Member of the EOS Group’s Board of Directors and responsible for the regions of Western Europe and North America. “Thus, for example, we were able to acquire a portfolio from mortgage lender Crédit Immobilier de France with a nominal value of EUR 125 million. Also in Austria and Switzerland, we were clearly above and in Belgium slightly above the planned volume with our investments in debt portfolios.” In the region of North America, EOS was able to post an increase in revenue of a good 10 percent.

About EOS Group

As a specialist in the evaluation and processing of receivables EOS deploys new technologies to offer its some 20,000 customers in 26 countries financial security through smart services.

Outstanding performance confirmed. For the 14th time in succession, EOS Holding has once again been given an ‘A’ rating by credit rating agency Euler Hermes Rating, providing renewed confirmation that the debt collection specialist enjoys a good credit standing.

The auditors emphasized the company's market leadership in Germany and its strong market position in Western and Eastern Europe. The rating was also the result of the company's longstanding experience in processing non-performing receivables and in receivables purchasing. 

“In the last financial year we have invested EUR 0.5 billion in receivables,” says Justus Hecking-Veltman, Member of the EOS Group’s Board of Directors and CFO. This shows how important this business segment continues to be for the EOS Group. “The acquisition of secured debt portfolios in particular is an attractive growth market for us,” explains Hecking-Veltman. This is also evident from the auditors' report, because this year Euler Hermes Rating specifically praised the company's ongoing expansion of expertise in real estate evaluation, development and realization. “We are now active in this business segment in eleven European countries and plan to expand into others.”

As a result, the auditors attested that EOS represents a low financial risk due to its very stable cash flow situation and continually high and consistent earnings level.

The EOS Group is one of the leading international providers of customised financial services. Its main focus is on receivables management. With more than 8,500 employees and 50 subsidiaries, EOS offers around 20,000 clients, in more than 25 countries around the world, financial security with tailored services.
