Through lower portfolio amortisation and improved funding costs, Axactor reported Q1 PTP of EUR13.5m, 41% higher YOY. Despite lower NPL collections following the portfolio sales in November, collection performance returned to above 100%, supported by the portfolio revaluation undertaken in Q4. Having repurchased an additional share of the ACR03 bond, Axactor appears better positioned to refinance in 2025. We have raised our 2026–2027e EPS by ~10%, and our target price to EUR5.9 (4.3), but reiter...
The journey towards a more stable balance sheet continues, as Axactor is keeping its ambition of refinancing the 2026 debt maturity by year-end. Although portfolio sales weigh on cash EBITDA YOY, we expect to see strong collection performance following the large revaluation in Q4. Helped by bond buybacks and lower interest rates, we see some relief for earnings, and have raised our 2026–2027e EPS by 11% and our target price to NOK4.3 (3.8). We reiterate our HOLD.

A sizeable writedown in Q4 resulted from soft collections in Axactor’s NPL book throughout 2024. For 2025, focus has shifted to deleveraging, as the company looks to ease earnings pressure from higher interest rates and wider bond spreads through a healthy capital structure and improved funding terms. Modest investments and further asset sales could also support this. While we are reassured by the commitment to improve the capital structure, the low margins on the NPL back-book remains remain an...

With the sale of EUR83m in NPL portfolios announced in November, and the outlook for further writedowns, Q4e is set for soft earnings as the focus shifts from NPL investments to debt leveraging. We have made sizeable 2025–2026 estimate cuts on lower investments, but we reiterate our HOLD and NOK3.80 target price.
