4 | A NEW STRATEGIC CYCLE: 2025 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
our 2025 annual report is not merely a disclosure of figures and targets, but it also stands as tangible proof of
how the strategic vision and foundations laid in 2024 have significantly strengthened our Company and its market
positioning. We have not limited ourselves to consolidating our leadership in the credit management market,
where we already held a first-class position. Instead, we have looked beyond. We anticipated change, designing
and implementing an efficient strategy aimed at, courageously, defining a next-generation operating model. This
evolution has been met with enthusiasm by the market and investors who believed in our choices, despite a complex
macroeconomic landscape characterised by intrinsic volatility.
Integration and development: creating value with precision
The year just ended was a true testing ground for us, as we demonstrated our ability to generate value by combining
organic growth with targeted M&A transactions, managed with unprecedented integration speed. I refer, first and
foremost, to the acquisition of Gardant, a strategic milestone in doValue’s journey in Italy. This operation has already
generated immediate synergies in 2025, exceeding all our expectations and bringing structural benefits to the
Group’s financial sustainability and efficiency. Furthermore, we can highlight a new catalyst for growth expected
in the near future: the acquisition of coeo. This transaction will follow the same rapid integration path aimed at
unlocking immediate value for the Group, in full alignment with the objectives of the 2024-2026 Business Plan.
Finally, I wish to emphasise an essential aspect related to the choice of coeo, namely the
impact of artificial
intelligence on our reference market. The coeo transaction marks a fundamental turning point. In an era where AI is
rewriting the rules of business, doValue once again chooses not to merely undergo evolution but to act as a driver of
change, leading the technological evolution of the entire sector.
Market confidence: solidity and performance
The capital markets have successfully rewarded and welcomed the validity of our strategy. The bond issues (€350
million maturing in 2031 and €300 million maturing in 2030) saw demand significantly exceeding supply.
This radical transformation journey found immediate reflection in our share price. There were three pillars to
doValue’s 2025 performance in this regard. First: share performance. doValue closed the year with growth exceeding
100%, significantly outperforming sector indices and the national market. Second: attaining period highs, driven by
the integration of Gardant and the acquisition of coeo, the share price exceeded €3 per share. Finally, I would like to
mention analyst sentiment. Interest from institutional investors reached its peak in 2025, supported by an average
analyst target price in the region of €3.4.
Expansion of Assets and Strategic Diversification
Thanks to an increasingly strong commercial positioning, we recorded a record flow of new assets under management
(Gross Book Value) amounting to €14.5 billion, hitting the revised annual target of over €12 billion three months
ahead of schedule. doValue’s metamorphosis into a diversified business is now a consolidated reality. The Company
is no longer focused solely on the NPL sector: approximately 37% of revenues now derive from non-NPL activities
and value-added services.
Furthermore, during the year, we strengthened our partnerships of excellence. In Italy, we expanded our strategic
link with the BPER Group, extending it to the flows of Banca Popolare di Sondrio. In Spain, a new strategic servicing
agreement was announced with Banco Santander for the management of new NPL flows, an agreement that further
strengthens doValue’s position in the Spanish market.
