The first six months of 2017 have seen Ferratum build on the momentum and performance that the Group delivered in 2016. Group revenues was up 47.3% year-on-year to EUR 103.7 million. Ferratum's premium, higher margin products such as PlusLoan and Credit Limit represent an increasing proportion of Group revenues, together accounting for 73.4% of Group revenue for H1 2017 (H1 2016: 67.2%) a validation of the Group's strategy of using Microloans as a 'beachhead' to understand customer behaviour and needs before launching higher margin products as Ferratum's brand and reputation becomes established in each market.

Lending to SMEs continues to show rapid growth, with Ferratum Business volumes increasing by 320% year-on- year to EUR 5.5 million for H1 2017. The number of active and former customers increased by 24.2% year-on- year to 1.73 million as of 30 June 2017.

Operating profit (EBIT) grew in line with revenues increasing by 48.3% year-on-year to EUR 14.9 million. The foreign exchange gain of EUR 842,000 in Q1 2017 was partly offset by a currency loss of EUR 473,000 in Q2 2017 resulting in a H1 2017 net gain of EUR 369,000. This meant that profit before tax (EBT) for H1 2017 continued to grow by more than EBIT for the period.

Although credit losses as a proportion of revenue increased slightly over the period (H1 2017: 34.6% of revenue vs. H1 2016: 31.8%, ie. up by 2.8%), changes in the acquisition and upsell strategy for customers has had a

positive impact in reducing marketing costs as a proportion of revenues (H1 2017: 15.3% of revenue vs. H1 2016: 19.1%, ie. down by 3.8%).

Ferratum launched a new loan product, 'Primeloan' and expanded in some strategically important new markets with existing products during H1 2017.

Primeloan, launched in May 2017 in Finland, is an unsecured personal loan with amounts of EUR 3,000 to EUR 20,000 and lending terms of 1 to 10 years. The product uses a new risk model which links pricing to the risk profile of the customer.

In Brazil, Ferratum entered the consumer lending market in May 2017. Ferratum has established a subsidiary in São Paulo, which initially focuses on Credit Limit, the flexible revolving credit product that Ferratum already offers in 10 markets internationally. Credit Limit in Brazil is available in credit limits up to BRL 3,000 (EUR 850) for consumers.

Ferratum Business was introduced in the UK in June 2017. Ferratum Business provides fast, easy working capital loans of up to £50,000 to small and medium sized enterprises ("SMEs") in the UK for periods of between 6 and 12 months.

In June 2017, the Mobile Bank was launched in France and Spain, two of Europe's largest retail banking markets. The introduction of Ferratum's Mobile Bank in these two important markets brings the total number of countries where the Mobile Bank is currently available to five, following its launch in Germany, Sweden and Norway in 2016. As of 30 June 2017, customer deposits have reached EUR 121.2 million.

In order to maintain profitable growth as Ferratum continues to innovate its product range and enter new markets, the Group has undertaken a number of restructuring initiatives to ensure that the Group's management structure, IT infrastructure, customer systems and processes remain resilient and scalable for international growth.

Accordingly, Ferratum has taken steps to standardize and centralize its customer service, collection and back office functions. The functions for 14 countries have already been centralized in our Malta operations, where Ferratum Bank p.l.c. holds its banking license, and most of the 10 remaining countries of operation will follow by the end of 2017. The centralization programme covers both mobile banking and traditional lending customer services and yields a range of group-wide cost and efficiency benefits, such as the streamlining of resources, harmonization and standardization of processes, adoption of common key performance indicators across regions and cost reductions that avoid the duplication of country practices.

The centralization programme is a key strategic initiative intended to protect and improve customer satisfaction throughout our network by delivering the same high standards of service and response, wherever and whenever our customers are using Ferratum's products.
