12 MONTHS OF CONTRACTION
6%1, to deliver a highly profitable Company at scale.

$140M in new loan originations (11% decrease on Q3FY22 $158M), prime $968M loan book heading to $1B, Q3FY23
operating revenue up 55%2, growth rate has been tempered to prioritise near-term profitability.

additional cost reduction initiatives underway with a laser focus on profitability.

NET WRITE-OFFS
●
Increase in net loan write-offs driven by a larger
loan book, H2 seasonality with a similar trend
observed in H2FY22, higher yielding loan
origination albeit still prime and maturing loan
cohort vintages.
●
Q3FY23 is seasonally a higher period of
write-offs, as the graph shows, with significant
movements between Q2FY22 and Q3FY22 and
between Q2FY23 and Q3FY23.
●
●
The Q3FY23 write-off figure represents 1.47%
annualised. The lower relative loan book growth
influences this, e.g. when applying loan book
growth consistent with pcp (which was higher
versus current moderated growth), the figure
would be lower.
Q4FY23 is expected to be broadly in line with
Q3FY23.
