"Today was really about showing the market that we have delivered on our strategic goals despite challenges. In the past two years, since our last Capital Markets Day when we presented the One Hoist strategy, our growth and investment opportunities have been significantly affected by external factors. Despite this, we have become the digital leader in the industry, improved collection processes and laid the foundation for scalable future growth. The future looks very promising and we are ready to help banks with the growing NPL stock, but most importantly, to continue to support our customers," says Klaus-Anders Nysteen, Hoist Finance CEO.
