Based on current business results and development trends, Latvian fintech company DelfinGroup has updated its previous forecast for 2025 and set new financial targets until 2028.
In mid-2025, DelfinGroup loan portfolio reached EUR 129 million, resulting in an increase of the 2025 loan portfolio forecast to EUR 138 million. In the medium term, the company plans to continue growing its loan portfolio, with growth mainly based on the consumer loan segment in Latvia and Lithuania. As a result, a 24% increase of the portfolio is planned for 2026, reaching EUR 171 million, and EUR 208 million in 2028.
The profit before tax target for 2025 has also been specified and set at EUR 11.4 million. With continued development in Latvia and growth in Lithuania's business volume and profitability, profit before tax is estimated to reach EUR 14.6 million in 2026 and EUR 22.3 million in 2028.
The existing performance indicators, such as return on equity, cost to income ratio, adjusted equity, and dividend payout ratio thresholds remain unchanged. Given the company's industry and the fact that financing costs account for a significant portion of total costs, EBITDA will no longer be included in forecasts.
