RNS Number : 3093W Shawbrook Group PLC 12 March 2026
Shawbrook Group plc
Full year results for the 12 months to December 2025
12 March 2026 - Shawbrook Group plc ('Shawbrook' or the 'Group') today
announces its full year results for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Marcelino Castrillo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"2025 was another year of disciplined execution and strategic progress for
Shawbrook. We continued to deliver both high-quality growth and attractive
risk-adjusted returns, with underlying profit before tax up 16%, an underlying
return on tangible equity of 17.2% and loan book growth of 16%(1).
This performance demonstrates the strength and consistency of the specialist
model we have built over the last 15 years. We also completed our IPO,
returning Shawbrook to the public markets and the FTSE 250. During the year,
we continued to allocate capital selectively into segments where risk-adjusted
returns meet or exceed our hurdle rates, supported by targeted origination,
disciplined underwriting and active portfolio management.
We continued to benefit from the scalability of our platform, where sustained
investment in our technology and data infrastructure has enabled us to embed
AI across the organisation. AI-enabled tools are supporting core activities
including valuation handling, broker engagement and customer support. The
knowledge and expertise of our people remain central to our decision-making,
but now data and AI can sharpen, accelerate and make those decisions more
consistent at scale.
We enter 2026 with strong momentum and a clear line of sight to delivering our
medium-term guidance. With a scalable platform, prudent capital allocation and
proven execution, we are well positioned to continue delivering high-quality
growth and returns for shareholders, while supporting our customers and
contributing to economic growth across the UK."
