Modestas Sudnius, CEO of Mogo Finance, commented:

“In the first six months of 2019, Mogo delivered what it promised to its investors and shareholders. We clearly showed that our investments in growth pay off as profitability with double-digit increases in all financial indicators, received a stable outlook Fitch rating of B- and brought even more markets into the profit zone. Worthy of particular mention are the significant improvements in operating result (EBITDA) and net profit. Mogo Finance is pleased to have reached another milestone. In 2Q 2019 alone, three additional markets became profitable on a monthly basis, which in the bottom line means that the majority of our countries now generates positive returns.

However, we are particularly proud of the fact that investments in portfolio and product growth not only pay off through operational excellence but also make it easier to control risk costs at the same time. Our stable NPL ratios benefit equally from economies of scale and economies of scope and can be further optimized through our comprehensive management procedures.

Mogo Group, with a further improvement in financial performance in the medium and long term, has promising prospects for the future development of the company.”
