By International Personal Finance (IPF) has decided to postpone the release of its anticipated 2023 earnings report due to the potential impact of a regulatory communication from the Polish financial watchdog. The company believes its results will surpass expectations, but is taking time to analyze the implications of the letter received from Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego in Poland.
Regulatory Scrutiny in Poland
In a recent statement, the London-listed credit firm disclosed that the regulatory correspondence from Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego addresses the interpretation of laws and rules pertaining to non-interest fees for credit card providers operating in the Polish market. IPF’s Polish subsidiary, Provident Polska, is currently under evaluation to understand the effects of this communication on its operational performance.
In-Depth Analysis Underway
The assessment process is estimated to span approximately one week as IPF navigates the potential repercussions on its Polish business activities, considering that Polish credit card receivables account for around 5% of the company’s total receivables.
Positive Trading Outlook
Despite this temporary delay in the earnings report, IPF has hinted at a robust trading performance exceeding initial forecasts for 2023. The company also highlighted a positive momentum that has carried over into the early months of 2024.
