Intrum launches SEK 7.5 billion equity raise to speed deleveraging and fund growth

An announcement from Intrum Justitia AB ( (SE:INTRUM) ) is now available.

Intrum AB plans to raise approximately SEK 7.5 billion in new equity through a directed share issue and a fully underwritten rights issue to selected and existing investors. The move is backed by the board and top management, who intend to participate, and is positioned as a key enabler of the company’s Intrum 2030 strategy.

The capital raise is designed to accelerate deleveraging by about two years, targeting a leverage ratio of around 3.0x by 2028 and materially lowering interest costs from current levels. Intrum expects the stronger balance sheet and added financial flexibility to support up to SEK 7 billion in additional portfolio investments by 2028, improve profitability and cash generation, and potentially allow dividend distributions from the 2028 financial year.

Management reiterates existing cost and margin targets, including a total cost base of SEK 10–11 billion and a Servicing EBIT margin of 30–35 percent by 2030. They argue that reduced leverage, lower funding costs and ongoing efficiency measures in technology, data and AI will enhance shareholder value and strengthen Intrum’s competitive position in European credit services.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:INTRUM) stock is a Hold with a SEK54.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Intrum Justitia AB stock, see the SE:INTRUM Stock Forecast page.
