In the first quarter of 2025, the listed financial group delivered consistent and robust financial results. BEST Capital Group reported cash EBITDA of PLN 60.7 million and recorded consolidated operating revenue of PLN 89.6 million.

The carrying value of claim portfolios belonging to the BEST Capital Group amounted to PLN 1.17 billion at the end of March, and consolidated net profit for this period reached PLN 5 million.

– The first quarter of 2025 was a period of intensive work for the BEST Group on the acquisition of Kredyt Inkaso. The results achieved during this time reaffirm the strength of the Group’s business fundamentals and its ability to consistently generate stable revenue and strong EBITDA. The completion of the merger with Kredyt Inkaso has significantly enhanced our market position by expanding the scale of our operations, improving operational efficiency, and creating new opportunities for growth. This provides a solid foundation for the execution of our ambitious strategic objectives, says Krzysztof Borusowski, President of the Management Board of BEST S.A.

During the reporting period, repayments from managed claim portfolios totalled PLN 118.9 million, marking a 6% year-on-year increase. The Italian market is particularly noteworthy, with repayments rising by 48%, reflecting the consistent expansion of foreign operations and the investments made in 2024.

Completing the merger between BEST S.A. and Kredyt Inkaso S.A. was the most significant event of the first quarter of 2025. Following the approval of the merger plan by the management boards of both companies on 20 February, and the adoption of resolutions by the Extraordinary General Meetings on 26 March, the merger was formally registered on 1 April.

Since the second quarter, BEST has been operating as a single entity with its share capital of nearly PLN 28.5 million. The operational integration phase is currently in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The first consolidated financial results of the merged Group will be published following the close of the first half of 2025.

– Integrating two organisations is a complex process that involves both operational and technological changes. We are continuing to implement key elements of our development strategy, including digital transformation. The merger with Kredyt Inkaso reinforces our foundations and enables us to harness the full potential of the entire Group more effectively, comments Marek Kucner, Vice-President of the Management Board of BEST S.A.
