Mogo Finance year-end update 2020 and outlook for FY 2021 Continuing stronger performance and on track towards greater financial flexibility Preliminary discussions with leading investment banks on strengthening the capital structure as well as with investors and advisors on refinancing the Latvian subsidiary's bonds due in March 2021 and the Eurobonds maturing in July 2022 underline the recognition of the achievements. Furthermore, Mogo Finance impressed by proving its compliance with the terms and conditions at all times, even following the temporary waiver of the financial covenants to ensure security for investors and growth and profitability for the Group in the changed economic environment of the COVID crisis. As a result, almost 40% of investors signaled their support for, among other things, the inclusion of a gradual reversal of the covenants to the original values in the bond terms and conditions to facilitate greater financial flexibility at a bondholders' meeting announced in fall. As a result of portfolio optimization with a consistent focus on the most profitable and highest ROI markets, Mogo Finance expects revenues of EUR 90 to 95 million (FY 2019: EUR 77 million) and EBITDA of EUR 37 to 40 (FY 2019: EUR 32 million) million for the ended financial year 2020. With the new strategic orientation, the multi-channel fintech approach, while successful and sustainable in the long term, it is expected to develop further and lead to revenues of EUR 160 to 170 million and EBITDA of EUR 60 to 65 million in 2021. Mogo Finance will be reporting its unaudited financial year 2020 results Mid-February 2021. Details on the convening of the bondholders' meeting will be announced shortly. www.mogofinance.com This announcement does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States.
