FY2021 results presentation - 31 August 2021. All values in NZ$ unless otherwise stated. HARMONEY (C) 2021 FY2021 RESULTS PRESENTATION 31 AUGUST 2021 -- Rapid growth across all key metrics. Account acquisition. Powerful consumer-direct acquisition engine. Fast approaching 700K Harmoney accounts. New loan originations. High growth of new customer originations in Australia powered by Stellare's Libra. Net lending margin. Superior net interest margin and net lending margin demonstrate portfolio quality, benefit of 100% direct, and 3Rs (Return, Repeat, Renew). [Please see the graphs on page 2.] -- FY2021 Highlights. The 100% direct difference. June 2021 was our highest ever month of originations, and was then surpassed in July 2021 ($54m). [Please see the diagrams on page 3.] -- 100% direct: Harmoney's unique model -- Harmoney is the largest 100% consumer-direct money platform in Australia/New Zealand. Our unique strategy is to create direct relationships with consumers, at scale, then nurture them to create high value now and in the future. To do this Harmoney combines data superiority, technological superiority, and marketing superiority like no other. Market leading direct loan originations. $2.1B CUMULATIVE ORIGINATIONS AS AT 30 JUNE 2021. [Please see diagrams on page 5.] -- 100% consumer-direct means deep consumer data. Broker model offers limited consumers to Fintechs. Harmoney has a much deeper universe of consumer data. With our direct data, we see consumers in hi-res and real time. And we have a 7 year head start with consumer data from over 400,000 loan applications totalling over $7 billion in lending enquiry. -- Libra: not your grandad's credit scorecard. Harmoney's behavioural data-powered credit decisioning engine. [Please see diagrams on page 7.] Stellare Libra 1.7/1.8: better-than-ever conversion. Bureau credit scores are too generic to be solely relied on for sophisticated pricing and personalised rates. Particularly for significant customer segments - like Millennials - who can have very thin credit files. Most importantly, our data tells us there are much better predictors of creditworthiness. Libra's behaviour-based scorecard learns from data acquired through Harmoney's 400,000+ completed loan applications. For version 1.7/1.8, Libra incorporates 100+ pD (probability of default) predictor data points identified through behavioural analysis. Libra 1.8 went live in NZ in mid-June 2021. Early results show similar trend to Libra 1.7 in Australia. Stellare Libra 1.7: ~25% better credit performance compared to index of prior internal scorecards. Early analysis of arrears for loans scored under Libra 1.7 (released February 2021) shows improved performance when compared to prior scorecards at the same point in time. We expect further performance improvements in future Libra releases as our innovative behavioural scorecard matures. -- Accounts continue to grow rapidly. Huge opportunity in a massive market and banks continue to shed market share. [Please see diagrams on page 8.] Rapidly accelerating account growth. We have already acquired almost 700K direct Harmoney accounts and associated data, more than any other Australasian listed Fintech. Our successful and unique collaboration with Google continues to support our account acquisition as we head towards 1 million accounts. Fintech's market share of personal lending is accelerating. Every year, the amount of people heading online to do the things they need to do is growing and that growth is accelerating. This trend is plainly evident in personal finance. And when they turn to online, people aren't looking for the status quo. They're looking for more convenience, they're looking for more value, and they're looking for fairness. -- Stellare's automated end-to-end loan application supports rapid scalability of Harmoney. [Please see diagrams on page 9.] Straight-through-processing (STP) measures the ratio of loans that complete a fully automated end-to-end loan application, ie. no human intervention. Our STP settings can be temporarily adjusted to apply conservative settings as needed, such as when releasing a new scorecard, or where the macro conditions warrant a conservative approach (early COVID). Fully automated loan applications. 68% 6 MONTH AVERAGE FROM JAN TO JUN '21 -- Financial and operational results. -- Australian new originations grow 260% on marketing scale-up post IPO. [Please see diagrams on page 11.] New customer origination growth fuels receivables book growth. o Q4 FY21 new customer originations exceed pre-COVID peak. o Australia 52% of H2 new originations. o New customer originations a lead indicator of 3Rs (Return, Repeat, Renew) originations, with those customers later returning for future needs. o 3Rs customers proved a stable source of quality originations through COVID. o FY21 average loan size originated of ~$25,000. o FY21 average cost per loan to originate of ~3.7%. -- Group receivables growth led by Australia expansion. [Please see diagrams on page 12.] Return to growth in H2 FY21, following COVID-19 impacted H1 FY21. o Record period end $501m receivables book. o 14% Group H2 FY21 growth on H1 FY21 (annualised) o 69% Australian H2 FY21 growth on H1 FY21 (annualised) o H2 FY21 growth driven by accelerating originations from resumption of direct marketing and a lift in Australian conversion following February 2021 release Libra 1.7 scorecard. o New Zealand book returns to growth post COVID in Q4 FY21. Australian receivables 69% AUSTRALIAN H2 FY21 ANNUALISED RECEIVABLES BOOK GROWTH -- Stellare platform delivers true scalability. [Please see diagrams on page 13.] Revenue is set to grow significantly during FY22 on continued loan book growth, with superior net lending margin and market leading automation delivering operating cost efficiencies. o Marketing-to-originations efficiency ratio to hold steady, even with continued investment in AU expansion, as minimal-cost 3Rs originations accelerate. o Harmoney's direct marketing costs are recognised up front as incurred, ahead of the interest revenue generated, which is received over the life of the loan. This provides a suppressed view of profitability when compared with businesses originating loans via brokers, as commissions are expensed over the life of the loan. Pro forma group revenue FY21. $79m Based on actual and forecast pro forma numbers. Revenue grows materially faster than opex, creating large scalability opportunities. -- NZ$205m funding capacity to support continued expansion. Warehouse transition on target. [Please see diagrams on page 14.] -- Continued Libra improvements leads to best credit performance ever. [Please see diagrams on page 15.] -- Harmoney's Net Lending Margin demonstrates strength of underlying profit drivers. 16.3% AVERAGE INTEREST RATE. Harmoney's personalised rates driven by Libra's scorecard provides risk based interest rates leading to a distinctive competitive advantage. 10.6% NET INTEREST MARGIN. Harmoney continues to drive down its cost of funds through more efficient warehouses leading to market leading net interest margin. 6.8% NET LENDING MARGIN. Harmoney's strong Net Lending Margin takes into account all lending related costs, including losses (charge-offs). Harmoney's rates are comparable with "Big 4" bank rates. Easier, faster, more convenient customer experience. Our range of personalised interest rates attracts customers who are used to traditional bank rates but at a superior customer experience. -- Strategy and outlook. -- The big banks were already retreating. Then the pandemic further boosted online. [Please see diagrams on page 18.] -- AU on-track to achieve NZ conversion performance as product features align. [Please see diagrams on page 19.] Parity in conversion opens $1B p.a. opportunity in Australia. $1B originations per annum in Australia becomes achievable as conversion metrics reach parity with New Zealand. Parity with NZ in new conversion. Parity with NZ in retention. $1B p.a. AU origination target. -- Conversion improvements alone can rapidly grow our AU and NZ loan book. [Please see diagrams on page 20.] Quality of accounts attracted to Harmoney represents untapped potential to convert credit worthy customers through initiatives focused on engagement and nurturing (~54,000 alone in H2 FY21). Untapped potential: ~47,000 credit worthy accounts in H2 FY21 Of 67,000 new accounts created H2 FY21, 70% (~47,000 accounts) could be targeted with initiatives to increase conversion. ~30,000 of untapped potential have had bank data analysed A significant portion of the untapped potential have shared their bank transaction data with us - these are customers with intent. Our journey to offering lending to more customers. With our current strong rate of account creation, continual improvements in our conversion rate through ongoing Libra scorecard development and new features to improve affordability and flexibility, we are in a position to accelerate origination growth. -- Our data superiority drives superior new products: beyond personal loans to personal lending. We will use our data advantage to identify opportunities and build product experiences that fit customer goals and lifestyles. The ultimate personal loan. Strategy o Redesign the personal loan to fit the customer's objectives - move beyond personal loan to personal lending. o Increased flexibility: e.g. multi-drawdown, line of credit, goal-setting tranches. o Money in minutes. Outcome o Moving from one product to more enduring "always-on" limit product, increasing retention and customer lifetime value. o Flexibility increases market share beyond the traditional personal loan market. A product for everyone. Strategy o Value beyond the personal loan. o Lending products or financial tools. o Available to all account holders, specifically targeting the untapped potential. Outcome o Lower acquisition costs as more applicants become engaged customers - not just borrowers. o Higher retention as customer relationship moves beyond the personal loan. -- Delivering on our vision. Consumer-direct acquisition at scale. o Direct relationships build trust and make it easier for consumers to share data. o Scale and depth of consumer data provides high-res modelling of consumer behaviour - individually and in aggregate. o Data modelling driving efficiencies in large scale consumer acquisition. o More accounts, lower cost per account. Conversion optimisation. o Revolutionary Libra 1.7 (AU), 1.8 (NZ) scorecard finds more creditworthy consumer through broader behaviour data. o Increases conversion rates from applications to settled loans without change to credit risk settings or automation. o Lower arrears compared to previous scorecards. Margin superiority. o Consumer-direct model removes the cost of intermediaries. o Strong margin supports large scale consumer acquisition. o Tech and data combine to provide virtuous investment cycle, leading to cheaper accounts. o Consumer life-time value maximised through 3Rs retention. -- This is just the beginning. Our unique model drives rapid, scalable financial growth. So financially, what does this all mean for the next 12 months? [Please see diagrams on page 23.] -- Appendices -- A$135m Australian portfolio. Building a high skill, high value customer base. [Please see diagrams on page 25.] -- $358m New Zealand portfolio. Building a high skill, high value customer base. [Please see diagrams on page 26.] -- Profit and loss (pro forma and statutory reconciliation). [Please see diagrams on page 27.] The pro forma profit and loss is intended to provide a more meaningful view of Harmoney's operating performance. The adjustments from statutory are consistent with those made in the Prospectus, most significantly normalising for differences in the statutory accounting treatment between warehouse and peer-to-peer funded loans. The pro forma normalisation for the borrower establishment fee rebate removes the impact of recognition of a non-recurring provision in connection with a historic dispute with the New Zealand Commerce Commission arising out of Harmoney's peer-to-peer lending activities, which has now been settled. The pro forma normalisation for IPO expenses removes the non-recurring expenses recognised in the current year relating to Harmoney's initial public offering in November 2020. The Group expenses all its customer acquisition costs (marketing and verification costs) as incurred (no capitalisation and subsequent amortisation). -- Cashflow [Please see diagrams on page 28.] -- Balance sheet [Please see diagrams on page 29.] The balance sheet is presented on a statutory basis. As such, the finance receivables and borrowings relate only to loans that are warehouse funded. Peer-to-peer loans are in addition to these finance receivables and borrowings, and are included in the pro forma. -- Key operating and pro forma financial metrics.
