Leadership Commentary:
Mr Andrew Goodwin, Wisr’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “As we concluded the final quarter of FY24, on the
back of the Nomura transaction, we transitioned from our previous focus on moderated loan volume
settings and recommenced growth. Wisr saw a 7% increase in loan originations in Q4FY24 compared to the
previous quarter. The end of the quarter was particularly pleasing post the Nomura transaction, with
quarterly run-rate originations of c. $67.5m, an increase of 30% from Q3FY24.”
“We continued to expand portfolio yield and NIM to 10.90% (10.17% pcp) and 5.38% (5.21% pcp),
respectively, while maintaining a high average credit score of 782. With the $50M facility provided by
Nomura settled during the quarter, Wisr is positioned to continue growing loan originations at attractive unit
economics and scale the business to profitability and a self-sustaining capital position.” finished Mr
Goodwin.
