VEF: Creditas financial results 4Q23

VEF

Creditas, VEF’s largest portfolio holding, has announced its financial results for 4Q23.

Key comments from Creditas’ release:

“2023 was a year of many accomplishments for Creditas. Despite keeping a conservative approach in terms of portfolio growth, we were able to deliver a 25% increase in top line (almost R$2.0bn annual revenues), that got transferred into an impressive 192% gross margin growth (R$640mn annual result) and 64% reduction of net losses (-R$385mn). In Dec-2023 we also achieved a very important milestone: operational breakeven.”

“Gross Profit Margin as a % of revenues approached our 40-45% steady state level, moving from 12.1% 15 months ago to 41.3% in Q4-23, as we continued repricing of our loan book and maintained a high quality credit portfolio, which is delivering cost of credit at the lowest level since 2021.”

“On the macro side, inflation ended 2023 at 4.62%, from the peak observed in Apr-2022 at 12.13%. SELIC closed 2023 at 11.75% and has already incorporated one more drop of 0.5% since then, endorsing the expectations of a continued decreasing trend, to reach 9.0% by the end of 2024.”

“As we accelerate the expansion of gross profit and continue gaining operational leverage, we are confident that we will keep profitable growth throughout 2024.”
