FERRATUM OYJ: Ferratum Group narrows guidance for fiscal year 2017


Ferratum Group narrows guidance for fiscal year 2017

Helsinki,  16 November  2017 -  Ferratum  Oyj  (ISIN: FI4000106299, WKN: A1W9NS)
("Ferratum"  or  the  "Group")  announces  revised  expectations  concerning the
Group's  business  development  and  performance  for  the  fiscal year 2017 and
narrows previously published guidance.



In  view  of  the  Group's  record  financial performance and strong operational
progress  over the past three quarters, published separately today, the Board of
Directors of Ferratum is confident that the Group will now achieve the upper end
of  previously published revenue guidance for fiscal year 2017. Accordingly, the
Board now estimates Group revenue for fiscal year 2017 to range between EUR 215
million  and EUR 225 million, and the Group operating profitability margin (EBIT
margin) to range between 14% and 16%.



Ferratum Oyj bases the given guidance on certain assumptions, including:

  * Consumer credit volumes continue to grow, exceeding the market average,
    based on new customers, continued diversification of consumer lending
    products and growth in new markets
  * Ferratum Business (SME) continues to grow, as market share in the six
    existing markets is small and will increase. Ferratum plans to introduce the
    product in additional markets
  * The Ferratum Mobile Bank has been, and will continue to be, introduced in
    additional countries and will generate new customers, increased customer
    loyalty, cross-selling opportunities, increased deposit volume and
    diversified deposit currencies
  * No material negative changes in the consumer and business credit markets
  * Stable capital market conditions
  * No unexpected significant new regulatory challenges or changes
