An announcement from VEF AB ( (SE:VEFAB) ) is now available.
VEF AB has highlighted first-quarter 2026 results from Creditas, its largest portfolio holding, which reported record loan origination of R$1.1bn and a portfolio of R$7.6bn despite a higher-for-longer interest rate backdrop in Brazil. Revenues rose 23.1% year-on-year to R$633.0m, gross profit reached a record R$253.5m with a 40% margin, and operating loss narrowed sharply to R$34.9m, underscoring improving efficiency and scale.
The Brazilian digital lender is leveraging AI-driven automation across customer acquisition, collections, operations and software development to reduce customer acquisition costs and lift productivity, with annualized revenues per employee rising significantly. Management signals a new growth phase built on strong credit performance and product-market fit, targeting annual growth above 25% while maintaining portfolio profitability and moving toward operational break-even, a trajectory that is strategically important for VEF’s portfolio value and investors’ view of its emerging market fintech exposure.
