Dear Shareholders and Stakeholders,
the 2023 Financial Statement we present showcases doValue’s resilience and adaptability in
the face of a particularly challenging economic environment for the credit servicing sector. Your
company has navigated these adversities while maintaining solid profitability and a balanced
financial structure. This was achieved even with a contraction in the volume of non-performing
loan transactions and less favorable recovery performance, direct effects of a climate marked
by high interest rates and sustained inflation.
Since the beginning of 2023, doValue has maintained its market leadership in Italy, Greece, and
Cyprus, while in Spain, it completed a complex restructuring process that allowed its Spanish
subsidiary to return to profitability and lay the foundation for sustainable growth in the medium
to long term.
The effectiveness of the business model and the diversification strategy (in terms of countries,
products, and clients) have enabled the doValue Group to record Gross Revenues of €486
million and an EBITDA excluding non-recurring items of €178 million. In terms of new assets
under management, in 2023 the Company secured approximately €9.7 billion in new Gross Book
Value, a level that, although lower than the previous year, allowed doValue to maintain stable
market shares despite aggressive stance from competitors.
Throughout 2023, we maintained a contained leverage ratio of 2.7 times, perfectly aligning with
the objectives outlined in our Industrial Plan and corporate financial strategy. We observe with
satisfaction that, between June and July, both Fitch and Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed the BB
rating. This recognition is particularly important in a period where financial sustainability plays
a crucial role for investors. It positions us favorably in the business landscape, distinguishing us
as one of the operators with the most contained level of indebtedness and among the highest
credit ratings.
Our attention to all Stakeholders, as well as the adoption of ethical and professional standards in
line with the best market practices, characterize our business model. In line with our principles,
doValue has defined the Charter of Values and updated the Code of Ethics for the External
Network following the high qualitative standards set in the Group’s Ethical Code.
doValue’s operational excellence is also confirmed by the Servicer Ratings assigned by the
international agencies S&P and Fitch Ratings: as a Special Servicer, Fitch Ratings confirmed
the rating “RSS1-/CSS1-” and Standard & Poor’s “Strong”, the highest Servicer Ratings among
those assigned to Italian operators in the sector.
Over the year, in consideration of the role played by doValue in the sustainable development
of the financial system, the Group has defined its mission: to contribute to maintaining the
balance of the economic system, promoting financial inclusion. doValue, in fact, in managing
credits favors the use of out-of-court solutions, which are quicker, more flexible, and less costly
