Portfolio Performance Review (October 2022)

Welcome to the HeavyFinance performance review, where we break down the loans that were given and repaid, as well as summaries the investor returns. To see the report from the previous month click here.

Investors financed 997K EUR of agricultural projects in October on HeavyFinance. The capital was spread around 40 loans.

In total, 28.5M EUR were issued to the farmers till the end of October, 2022. To date, 7.3M EUR principal is already repaid to investors together with 2.3M EUR in interest. In October alone investors received 733K EUR in repayments – 522K EUR principal, 192K EUR interest and 19K delay interest.

793K EUR of repayments are scheduled in November.

Currently, 82% of loans are being paid on time or are already repaid. The overdue principal of more than 90 days is 1.92M EUR – a healthy level of 6.9% of the issued amount.

It is worth mentioning that ratings B+ and C+ were introduced at the beginning of 2022, therefore, there are fewer defaults in this rating category.

The graph below shows the loan originations, principal repayments and interest payments for each quarter. Let’s take Q3 2020 as an example. Over this period, 451 thousand EUR of loans were funded, of which 431 thousand EUR have already been repaid together with 52 thousand EUR of interest. 20 thousand EUR is late for less than 90 days. (If at least 1 instalment is overdue, we treat the whole principal amount as being late).

Recovery

During October 91.4K EUR was recovered from defaulted loans and distributed to investors. A total recovered amount from defaults amounts to 647K EUR.

In the chart below recovery in time is presented. From the loans which defaulted in 2021 H2 HeavyFinance already recovered 70.31%.

As the majority of the farmers are finalising their harvest and payments are expected within 30 to 90 days from the delivery – HeavyFinance investors can expect a large influx of loan repayments in Q4, 2022.
