Comment by the CEO
The last quarter of 2015 was marked by the signing of the largest transaction in
DDM’s history and the return to profitability, in line with our commentary in
previous quarterly reports.   We have continued to deliver on our opportunistic
investment strategy in CEE with this, our second Hungarian transaction in 2015.
This is also the second transaction during the year that we do together with a
well-reputed international capital partner, allowing us to capitalize on
previous experiences and adding to DDM’s already strong reputation in the
region. The investment is funded largely from existing funds.   Our focus is now
turned towards the implementation of this transaction and raising additional
funding for further investments and growth.

Gross ERC (Estimated Remaining Collections) increased by 20% during the fourth
quarter 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Compared to the third
quarter of 2015 this has increased by 26%.

Net collections in the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to EUR 15.9M, an increase
of 151% compared to fourth quarter 2014. For the full year 2015, net collections
increased by 87% compared to the full year 2014.

Cash EBITDA (net collections less operating expenses) during the fourth quarter
amounted to EUR 14.2M, an increase of 198% compared to the same period in 2014
while for the full year 2015 it increased by 119% compared to the full year
2014. Cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes for the
full year 2015 was negative EUR 2.5M, compared to positive EUR 3.8M for the full
year 2014. On the back of the recent acquisition in Hungary, we expect
significantly stronger operational cash flows in 2016.

We continued to manage our portfolios during the quarter and as a result at the
end of the quarter we divested a portfolio in Poland that was not meeting our
investment return requirements.  This allows us to reinvest the funds in a
portfolio that better mirrors the opportunities we see in the market and
provides higher returns.

We remain positive on the outlook for the Company on the back of our strong full
year results and improved financial metrics. We anticipate the strong pipeline
of portfolios for sale across our region to continue and outpace industry growth
in Europe as a whole. DDM is well placed to continue its rapid expansion in its
investment activities.

Funding is key to continue to grow our investments and operations, and is a
major focus. We aim to raise additional funding, both equity and debt, targeting
a long-term and sustainable capital structure and cost. With the improved
financial position on the back of the fourth quarter results we feel confident
that we will be able to continue deliver according to our strategy.
