Reducing 2020 revenue and EBIT expectations

Helsinki, 18 March 2020 – Ferratum Oyj (ISIN: FI4000106299, WKN: A1W9NS) (“Ferratum” or the “Group”) reduces 2020 revenue and EBIT expectations.

In 2020, the Board of Ferratum Oyj expects the Covid-19 pandemic to have a material impact on the Groups performance. Revenue and EBIT are expected to materially decrease compared to 2019.

Taking into consideration the current macro-economic uncertainty, impairment levels are expected to increase during 2020. An expectation of deteriorating economic indicators would increase impairments driven by the implemented statistical risk reserving model. In addition, the Board expects continued high volatility in FX rates as a consequence of the Covid-19 outbreak and the oil market turmoil which might have a negative impact on net profitability in 2020.
