In addition, we are seeing a steady growth in profit before tax, up 11% compared to the third quarter of last year. As the company's profitability improves, we are able to ensure shareholders with regular and stable dividends," explains Didzis Admidinš, Chairman of the Management Board of DelfinGroup.

According to Didzis Admidinš, the financial results are underpinned by growth in all business segments. "In the third quarter, we issued loans worth 26.5 million, a 13% increase compared to the same period last year. Sales of pre-owned, slightly pre-owned and new goods increased by 15% to 4.5 million euros.
