● Much of the buoyancy of the market can be linked to the recovery of the car 33.8

market with sales rising in both the new and used sectors following a 30 28.3
difficult period during the 2008-09 economic slowdown 24.7

● Outperformance of Car Finance (130% growth since 2010) relative to total

car sales (88% growth since 2010) suggest that an increasing proportion of 13.6

car buyers are using finance to fund the purchase of a car

● The average advance has also been increasing. As of 2015 it stood at 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016F 2017F 2018F 2019F 2020F
£13,289 compared to £10,890 in 2010 – an increase of 22%
● Finance contracts for used cars represent a larger market than for new cars Car Finance contracts
by number of contracts, with a 54% (used) vs. 46% (new) split in 2015. (new vs. used cars by value )
100%

compared to 43% for used vehicles in 2015 80% 44% 42% 43% 43%
48% 49%
● The penetration level of financing contracts for new cars has increased to 60%
81% in 2015 compared to only 52% in 2010. This has been supported by
falling interest rates since 2010, making Car Finance an increasingly 40%
attractive alternative for buyers. However, penetration level for used cars 52% 51% 56% 58% 57% 57%
remains low (c.16% in 2015) due to the greater number of private sellers, 20%
the lower vehicle price, and a narrower range of financing options. This

● Market supply was hit hard during the crisis as traditional providers and
high street banks retrenched from non-core activities. This resulted in the 800
market falling from a high of £6bn in 2007, to just £280m in 2010 597
600
● Since the financial crisis, the market has recovered well with a CAGR of

(£m)
445
25% from 2010 – 2015. The second charge market is now well placed for
significant further growth driven by the compelling underlying 400 326
277 286
macroeconomic drivers and the continued increases in UK house prices
200
● Key market drivers include:
▬ Consumers preferring to take out a second charge loan, rather than 0
upset (often favourable) terms of existing first charge 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

▬ Benign risk conditions (repossessions reached a 7-year low in 2015) Source: FLA - Second Charge Industry reports
and attractive yields (c.8-10% average) resulting in new market entrants
Comparison of secured lending products
▬ Strong growth in house prices (particularly SE) raising available equity
to support new lending available in the UK market
▬ Increasing loan size, albeit volumes have also improved
● Post crisis there has been a systematic shift in the market approach with
underwriting criteria, customer diligence and affordability calculations now
much more detailed. This has resulted in:

Lending rates
▬ A more affluent customer profile
▬ Improved arrears performance with the total % of loans entering arrears
during the first 12 months falling by over 20% from the pre crisis market
to post crisis market (’08-’12)
● There continues to be strong drivers for the market, the most prominent
being the implementation of the European Mortgage Credit Directive which
has improved awareness and is expected to result in more 1st charge

Key differences between the products


● Each division takes its own underwriting approach based on market dynamics of its market
● Home Loan plans offer a maximum loan of £50,000 compared to lower amounts offered via Personal Loan and Car Finance
● While the maximum age allowed at the end of loan is 65 years for Personal Loans it is 67 years for Car Finance and 70 years for Home Loans
● The unsecured nature of Personal Loans results in a more stringent underwrite for customer and a more thorough review of the applicant’s credit file is performed
to ensure no credit deterioration, including:
▬ Minimum net monthly income criteria
▬ Stricter minimum disposable income calculations
▬ Increase in the minimum credit score for Personal Loans to 450 (it is 400 for Home Loans)

● Self employment
● Size of loan requested
● Credit score of applicant

Funding
The following conditions should be fulfilled for release of funds even after the loan is approved:

● Funding is authorised at the final documentation review stage with actual payment of funding carried out by group services

Arrears
Processes to manage arrears and collections were updated during 2016

Arrears Management: Documentation Process


Each product line (Car, Home, Personal) has its own dedicated collections team: ● All calls must be made on company landlines and recorded
● The servicing and collections processes have been designed to be fully compliant ● All written correspondence to document arrears and
with, and exceed, the standards set out by the FCA in the Consumer Credit discussions with customers is recorded on file
Sourcebook (“CONC”) and with the principle of Treating Customers Fairly
● Written correspondence (including regulatory notices etc)
● Arrears reports are created daily to help chase collections has recently been reviewed by Walker Morris
● Payment methods allowed include: Direct Debits (DD), standing orders, bank
transfers, cash, cheques, card payments and Continuous Payment Authority (CPA’s)
● Cash is collected as a single monthly payment by DD. The collection date varies
throughout the month by customer as it is aligned to the customer’s payday
● The customers of the 1st Stop Group are proactively managed by the CRM team
throughout their loans to ensure strong customer engagement. Measures taken
include:
Recent Trends
- the initial verification call to establish rapport;
● During 2016 1st Stop changed their collection procedures to
- payment reminders sent out by text and/or email; and
ensure they remained best in class and compliant within a
- should a DD request fail, the customer’s account is automatically added to a changing regulatory environment. The period of procedural
manual collections queue with the CRM team making direct contact to rearrange change led to increased levels of arrears as the business
payment (including via cash or debit card) rather than waiting for the DD to be implemented new policies and associated training
represented
● These revised processes have now been successfully
● This proactive management of the customer results in an effective collection process implemented. The impact of the updated procedures is
beginning to show through in the overall arrears levels
which are expected to stabilise and trend down towards to
historic levels

32
Recovery process
Processes to manage arrears and collections were updated during 2016

Process for recovery months

● The process for recovery of capital by the 1st Stop Group is largely
consistent across the business with some minor differences by product
● Legal action / court orders are enforced when a Car Finance loans
defaults but legal action is not usually enforced for Home and Personal
Loans
● The litigation process was previously performed by 1st Stop Recoveries
(which has since been sold). This process has been re-introduced in
house during the last quarter of 2016

33
Note: this diagram represents the process going forward
Provisioning Policy & Write Off Process
The group is implementing a roll rate provisioning policy

Provision Policy
● The current provisioning policy is being amended to create a specific provision against loans in arrears
● The new provisioning policy will apply a percentage provision to loans in arrears. The percentage applied is different based upon:
1. The type of loan (Home, Car or Personal); and
2. The number of months the loan has been in arrears
● Accounts will be written off when either:
1. A full contractual payment has not been received over the previous 8 months or,
2. There is evidence that the account will transition directly through to write-off e.g. deceased account, bankruptcy
● The provision levels used will be set and monitored by the Group Credit & Pricing Committee and any change will be reported to the Board. This level of
oversight will help to avoid any distortions which are expected to be rectified in the short term

Methodology Draft provision rates (at November 2016)


● At each month end the business undertakes roll rate analysis <= 1 <= 2 <= 3 <=4 <=5 <=6 6+
over the most recent 3 month rolling period to estimate the Down Down Down Down Down Down Down
likelihood of a loan defaulting based on the historic charge-offs of Home Loans 2.50% 15% 35% 45% 60% 65% 75%

Car Finance 2.50% 15% 25% 40% 50% 60% 80%
● This enables the business to calculate the probability of loans
currently in arrears flowing through to charge off based on actual Personal Loans 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 85%

● The provision rates are then applied to loans in arrears on a loan

● To understand VT levels cash

4% annual cohort basis
● If VT levels were high we would
expect to see a spike or increase in
cash collection % after month 20 i.e.
3% when a customer has repaid >50%

Growth Strategy
Investment in systems and processes has left The 1st Stop Group positioned for
further growth

● Historically The 1st Stop Group has had to turn away new business due to liquidity constraints and not having a portal to interact with volume
introducers

● Following creation of robust platforms, management want to grow market share by capitalising on the demand for our products and services. This
will originate from:

1. Engaging with market leading volume brokers including; Moneysupermarket, Ocean Finance and Arnold Clark. In order to increase volumes
from existing, well established brokers

2. White labelling and affinity partnerships with well known banks and corporations

3. Leveraging knowledge of target customer base to access to new markets through product diversification (e.g. retail credit, Point Of Sale
(POS) finance and revolving credit);

4. Investment in advertising and Pay Per Click (“PPC”) campaigns, database marketing and existing customers

5. Consideration of loan portfolio acquisitions

6. Improved service for customers including faster on-boarding
