Recent origination analysis
Proven ability to originate increased volume

► Haydock has increased its originations significantly over the historical period
► Originations for 3rd parties averaged £7m per month in 2016 in comparison to £5.7m per month of own book originations
► Recent origination levels have been lower, primarily due to 3rd parties’ credit and pricing appetite. Through accessing further funding, Haydock plans to return to, and
exceed, the level of originations achieved in 2015/16

Performance – Early Settlements
Stable performance is the output of robust originations and collections

► The graph below shows, for months post origination, the percentage of loans that settled early on a cumulative basis
► Reasons for early settlements include: defleeting, insurance write off, change in transactional requirements, financial considerations, and upgrades. This improves
the performance of the business as the customers are legally obliged to pay all outstanding interest due for the life of the loan at the point of settlement. In order to
retain customers and in cases of financial hardship, Haydock does negotiate settlement discounts outside a customer’s contractual entitlement

Performance – Defaults & Recoveries
Stable performance is the output of robust originations and collections

► The graphs below show the cumulative amount of balances that are frozen (defaulted) as a percentage of the origination balance, and the cumulative amounts
recovered on the balance when frozen
► Haydock has a rigorous collections and recoveries approach that has led to low historic net bad debts with only 1% net bad debts in 2016. Haydock believe that this
is highly credible given the market tiers it operates in. Across all tiers, management believes the market averaged 1.25% net write-offs
► Haydock undertakes a proactive approach to defaults, taking ownership of assets quickly. Whilst this leads to higher and quicker levels of default, the benefit of this
approach is reflected in a higher recovery rate
► Haydock uses an auction process to recover the value of assets, which has historically led to a c. 80-90% recovery rate (typically achieved within the first 10 days
after ownership of the asset is taken)
► The assumptions used for the forecasts have considered historic performance, forecast origination in higher quality segments and the assumption of a less benign
credit environment going forward

Proposed Haydock financing structure
Access a conduit facility and retain block funding lines

► The future funding strategy revolves around obtaining access to a conduit facility with the addition of mezzanine funding to improve the overall advance rate
► The forecasts assume an initial £125m conduit facility with a margin of 1.8%, upfront fee of 0.5% and a revolving period of three years, as well as a mezzanine facility
providing a further advance of 7% at a 8% cost.
► The business will also likely retain its access to block funders to place deals outside of the eligibility criteria for the conduit facility and to keep diversification of
funding.
