BEST S.A., a debt management company, recorded nearly PLN 119 million in repayments from its portfolios in the first quarter of 2025 – an increase of 6% compared to the same period last year. During the quarter, the listed company allocated nearly PLN 40 million to portfolio purchases, acquiring claims with a nominal value of PLN 163.5 million.

– We have had another highly successful quarter, marked by a significant increase in recoveries. This growth is the result of both an expanding claim portfolio and our ongoing efforts to optimise key business processes. It is already clear that this could be a breakthrough year for our business and a record-setting one in terms of financial performance. The merger with Kredyt Inkaso has strengthened us across all areas of operation, expanded the scale of our business, and opened up new growth opportunities. With the successful completion of the merger, we can now fully focus on executing the company’s development plan, says Krzysztof Borusowski, President of the Management Board of BEST S.A.

As a reminder, in the first quarter of 2025, we completed the multi-month process of merging BEST and Kredyt Inkaso. On 20 February this year, the management boards of both companies signed the merger plan, and on 26 March, the Extraordinary General Meetings of BEST S.A. and Kredyt Inkaso S.A. adopted resolutions approving the merger. The legal merger was officially registered on 1 April.

As a result, BEST entered the current quarter as a merged entity with a share capital of nearly PLN 28.5 million. The operational integration is expected to be completed in the coming months, and the first operating results of the combined entities will be published following the end of the first half of 2025.

– Merging the two companies entails a wide range of both major and minor changes across operational and technological areas. We are systematically advancing the BEST development strategy, including the rollout of our digital transformation programme. The merger with Kredyt Inkaso not only reinforces our foundations and enhances business diversification, but also lays the groundwork for a more efficient transformation process, adds Marek Kucner, Vice-President of the Management Board of BEST S.A.
