Half Year Trading Statement

Notice of full Interim Results and Investor Presentation

 

Record H1 Revenues, Profits and Lending Book, following eighteen consecutive
quarters lending book growth

 

Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, is
pleased to provide the following update in respect of the Group's trading
performance for the six-months ended 30 November 2025 ("H1 2025/26"). The
results reflect the consistently strong demand for the Group's multi-product
funding offering throughout H1 2025/26 which continues to result in growth
across all key financial metrics. This includes the lending book which has now
seen eighteen consecutive quarters of growth, while, at the same time, strict
lending discipline has delivered reducing levels of arrears and write-offs.

 

This update is provided in advance of the scheduled publication of the Group's
full H1 2025/26 unaudited Interim Results on 27 January 2026.

 

Unaudited H1 2025/26 financial highlights:

 

·     Own-Book New Business Origination up 48% to £62m (H1 2024/25:
£42)

·     Gross Lending Book up 12% to £235m at 30 November 2025 (30
November 2024: £209m)

·     Revenue up 3% to £18.8m (H1 2024/25: £18.2m)

·     Profit before Tax up 10% to £4.3m (H1 2024/25: £3.9m)

·     Profit Before Tax margin up 100bps to 22% (H1 2024/25: 21%)

·     Net Tangible Assets up 14% to £47.2m at 30 November 2025 (30
November 2024: £41.5m)

·     Net Arrears of 4.5% of the gross lending book at 30 November 2025
(30 November 2024: 5.3%), a reduction of 0.8%

·     Net Bad Debt Write-Offs of 1.0% of the average gross lending book
at 30 November 2025 (30 November 2024: 1.2%), a reduction of 0.2%

·     Continuing positive trading momentum, with record monthly volumes
experienced in both Asset Finance and Invoice Finance during H1 2025/26,
further underpinning expectation that Group financial performance for the full
year will be at least in line with market guidance

 

The Group's focus on secured lending through its Invoice Finance division and
the 'Hard' subset of the wider Asset division, as highlighted in the Company's
three-year strategic plan through to May 2028, continues. The two core
products now account for approximately 87% of the entire lending book, up from
78% twelve months earlier, and have made up over 98% of all new deals
originated in the first half of this financial year.

 

Ed Rimmer, Chief Executive Officer commented:

"The first half of FY 2025/26 has been really encouraging. Despite the wider
macro-economic headwinds, the Balance Sheet has further strengthened with Net
Tangible Assets now in excess of £47m. At the same time the lending book has
continued its consistent growth but, crucially, not at the expense of quality
with Arrears and Write-Offs continuing to improve. The business has also
managed to invest in its Business Improvement function, which drives
operational efficiencies, while still achieving record six-monthly Revenues
and levels of Profit Before Tax. The Board, therefore, continues to remain
confident that the Group is well positioned for further growth and to build
increased value for its shareholders over time."
