The company manages €32,287 million in Assets under Management (AuMs), which remain at similar levels compared to previous year.

Despite the slight recovery in the activity during the second half of the year, the Covid- 19 crisis has had a significant impact on the Company's commercial activity across all products. In particular, NPL volumes have reached €366.6 million, REO Conversion volumes €700.7 million, and REO volumes amounted to €1,316.9 million in the year.

Revenues have reached €177.0 million in the year, which have driven operating results (adjusted EBITDA) to €52.2 million maintaining an adjusted EBITDA margin of 29% thanks to the Transformation Plan and contingency measures implemented by the company. The operating expenses have decreased by €41.7 million and personnel expenses by €21.2MM as a result of reduction in volumes and the efforts made in the cost structure.

The Company also consolidates a strong liquidity position of €54.0 million as of December 2020 after the completion of a bond buy-back transaction in November 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 on Haya ́s business

Despite some improvements experienced during the second half of the year, the crisis resulting from the pandemic has had a significant impact on Haya ́s business. The Company has worked to mitigate this impact implementing measures to adapt the Company's cost structure to the current market situation, while maintaining the quality and delivery service to its clients.

Haya established in January 2020, a two-year Transformation Plan to improve the quality and efficiency of the services. The Transformation Plan will continue in 2021 with further cost efficiency initiatives and new business lines which are expected to produce relevant results in next years.

The efforts made to adapt the cost structure to current business mix and situation have allowed Haya to improve its position to better cope with market and financial challenges ahead.

2021 outlook. Potential recovery in the second half of the year

The Company expects an uncertain and challenging general context for 2021 mainly due to the evolution of the pandemic and the vaccination process which will continue impacting the business activity at least in the first semester of 2021. Moreover, regulatory measures could delay to 2022 the real impact of the crisis and therefore new NPL inflows. Finally, banking sector consolidation and a potential Sareb tender process could be having an impact on the business.

Haya expects a potential recovery of the economic activity in the second half-year of 2021, due to the liquidity in the market and potential increased confidence of an economic recovery. The Company will continue to focus on value prestarvation of its existing contracts and ensure maximum commercial delivery to our clients in this market conditions.
