Investment summary

MCB Finance Group’s Q112 results confirm strong growth with credit issued up 79%, revenue up 65% and a bond issue securing funding for three years. This revenue growth did not drop down to profit growth in this period because: 2011 was a period of exceptionally high bad debt recoveries – 2012 recoveries are closer to normal levels; restructuring the funding incurred some costs; and MCB has invested in new geographies (historically break-even has been achieved in c 12 to 18 months).

Industry outlook

After GDP falls in 2009, ranging from 8% in Finland to 18% in Latvia, economic growth is now forecast (IMF 2012 estimates are c 2-4% regional real GDP growth, and c 2% falls in unemployment). The crisis led to more rational market-lending practices. These conditions are highly favourable to statistically-modelled lenders.
