Key Performance Indicators

Jump to section

The following are the operating measures on which this business should be managed. Three of them, the credit loss rate, first payment default and the vintage loss curve, carry more information about whether the investment case is holding than any revenue figure, because revenue rises with origination volume whether or not the loans are collectable.

Target

Why it matters

Credit loss rate

Write-offs ÷ amounts disbursed

Below 11.6% at maturity

Break-even is 15.3% — the single variable that decides the business

First payment default

Loans defaulting on instalment one ÷ loans disbursed

Below 3.0% by channel

The earliest available signal of scorecard or fraud failure

Vintage loss curve

Cumulative write-off by month on book, by origination month

Within the modelled band

Reported monthly by channel and score band to the credit committee

Cost per funded loan

Marketing spend ÷ loans funded, by channel

Below R380 blended

Never cost per lead; aggregator channels look cheap on leads and expensive on funded loans

Repeat share of origination

Repeat loans ÷ total loans

Above 72% by Year 5

Repeat lending carries near-zero acquisition cost and materially lower risk

Fee income share of revenue

Initiation and service fees ÷ revenue

Monitored at 43%

Prescribed in nominal rand and unchanged since 2016; erodes in real terms every year

Affordability evidence completeness

Decisions with full documentary evidence retained ÷ decisions

100%

A reckless credit finding at scale is the catastrophic regulatory downside

Collection rate at day 30

Instalments collected by day 30 ÷ instalments due

Above 92%

The overwhelming majority of recoverable value is recovered in the first thirty days

Debt service and covenant headroom

Facility utilisation against eligible receivables

Well inside limits

The book self-liquidates within fifteen months, so an origination freeze converts it to cash quickly

Regulatory return compliance

Statutory returns filed on time ÷ returns due

100%

Conditions of registration are ongoing obligations, not once-off hurdles
