MAIN 2025 STRATEGIC PROJECTS 

In 2025, in line with the Strategic Plan guidelines, the following projects were implemented, supporting AMCO’s systemic role:

  • in February, the first step of the RE.Perform Project was finalised with the sale of the first re-performing mortgages portfolio in Italy of over €400m, and the creation of an internal team dedicated to managing the remaining loans, with the aim of supporting households in their return to performing status. In March 2026, the second step of the RE.Perform Project was completed with the disposal of a second re-performing retail mortgages portfolio of approximately €600m (GBV) to a jointly owned vehicle – 49% held by AMCO and 51% by funds managed by Bayview.
  • in April, the acquisition of 80% of the Exacta Group was completed. AMCO acquired an operating platform with high level technological know-how dedicated to the collection of unpaid local taxes, complementary to AMCO’s existing business5.
  • during the year, the DREAM Project was implemented to transform AMCO into a data-driven company and further optimise credit management, improving data quality and analysis, also using AI. In 2025, the migration of the core banking IT system was completed.
  • the Business organisational structure was further strengthened with the evolution into three Divisions: “NPE & Special Partnerships”, “Turnaround & Strategic Finance” and “NPE & Outsourcing”6.

In 2025, AMCO achieved important ESG targets in line with its Sustainability Strategy. Regarding Governance, an ESG Board Committee was established and training in business ethics7 was provided to 100% of AMCO’s and servicers’ employees. In the Social sphere, AMCO confirms its proactive approach to credit management: 95% of collections from UTP loans came from extra-judicial activities, as 44% of collections from NPL loans and 60% of collections relating to SMEs and individuals. Furthermore, a Leadership Programme was launched to support women’s career development: the Company promoted 11% of its female workforce8 through development initiatives; the gender pay gap was monitored and remains below 5%9. Finally, ESG training and engagement activities for employees were carried out. On the Environment side, AMCO reduced GHG emissions from operational activities by 65% compared to 202110. Credit portfolio monitoring shows that 30% of total expected cash flows are exposed to hydrogeological risk and 4% to geological risk; 9% of expected cash flows from UTPs are exposed to transition risk. Finally, the Company mapped 100% of its owned properties and a cluster of 10 repossessed leased properties for energy efficiency improvements.

FY25 RESULTS

NPE business performance

As at 31 December 2025, Assets under Management (AuM) reached €29.5bn11, down 9% y/y in line with expected dynamics, thanks to proactive management and the sale of the aforementioned portfolio of re-performing mortgages with a GBV of approximately €400m.

76% of AuM are non-performing loans (NPLs) and 24% are Unlikely to Pay (UTPs). In terms of operating mix, 70% of volumes are managed in-house and 30% are outsourced. At the end of 2025, there were approximately 150 thousand counterparties under management, of which 80 thousand were corporates.

Operating Performance – NPE collections

In 2025 collections reached €1.5bn, up 1% y/y, supported by value-enhancing strategic actions envisaging a transactional market approach.

Collection rate12 in 2025 was 4.8% (4.4% in 2024); it increased thanks to the value-enhancing strategic actions.

AMCO Group13 results as at 31 December 2025

Group net income in 2025 was €26.7m (€28.9m in 2024), due to lower credit provisions and other one-off income from the Genova Hight Tech (GHT)14 consolidation. Exacta’s contribution was equal to €4.1m.

Group EBITDA amounted to €191.5m (compared to €237.1m in 2024). This trend reflects the natural decline in revenues from on-balance sheet loans and higher personnel costs to strengthen the corporate structure and for the Exacta consolidation.

Group income statement – Main items

Revenues amounted to €408.8m, down 6.6% y/y (€437.7m in 2024) due to lower interest income (€244.2m, -16% y/y) linked to the decline in on-balance sheet loans, in line with expected dynamics. Servicing revenues increased by 41% to €65m, thanks to Exacta’s contribution equal to €20m in the 8-month consolidation period.

Other income from operating activities – relating to cash recoveries (all cash-based) – decreased by 3% y/y and are related to collections on loans exceeding expected recovery plans.

Total costs amounted to €217.3m, up by 8.3% y/y due to changes in the consolidation perimeter. In detail, net operating costs amounted to €148.8m and slightly increased by 1% y/y due to higher legal and debt collection expenses (i.e. higher costs related to the management of leased properties and to new legal proceedings). Staff costs amounted to €68.5m (+29% compared to 2024) due to headcount strengthening to support the company’s development, the renewal of the collective agreement and the Exacta and GHT consolidation.

As at 31 December 2025, AMCO Group had 743 employees due to the Exacta and GHT consolidation (compared to 444 at 31 December 2024). AMCO had 452 employees: 65% employed in business roles and the remaining 35% in central functions. Women represent 42% of the total workforce. The average age is 44.

As at 31 December 2025, Exacta had 284 employees: 83% employed in business functions. 60% are women15.

EBIT was equal to €91.6m, compared to €121.1m in 2024. Net credit provisions were -€84.1m and reflect the portfolio’s periodic credit risk assessment. Net interest from financial activities, equal to €67.6m, decreased by 2.3% compared to 2024 due to debt reduction.

Income taxes were positive at €2.6m.
