Sue
Hayes, Chief Executive Officer ('CEO') commented on the
results:
"I am pleased with our financial results for the first
six-months in 2024 which generated an underlying profit of £9.0m
(2023: £13.7m).
Following our decision to support members impacted by Philips
Trust Corporation through a voluntary support payment, our profit
has reduced in the first half of 2024 to a Profit Before Tax
('PBT') of £0.7m (2023: PBT of
£11.7m).
Our underlying business performance is strong with an 18.6%
increase in gross mortgage balances compared with June 2023. We
achieved significant growth in lending while the overall UK
mortgage market grew substantially less.
We
continue to invest in both our core IT systems and in developing
innovation that will improve our mortgage application and credit
risk decisioning processes in the future.
Alongside this, we achieved good growth in our savings
balances of 26.9% compared with June 2023. We diversified our
proposition to offer a variety of attractive products and savings
rates to our customers via our branch network and online savings
app. As interest rates have risen and remained high throughout this
year, we have focused on paying savers the best rates we can whilst
doing what we need to strengthen the Society. We paid a total of
£71.5m in interest to savers in 2024 (2023:
£35.4m).
Looking to the future, we will continue to progress our
transformation plans, delivering the great customer service we know
our members value whilst continuing to focus on innovation in our
products and propositions in order to build a future fit society
for our members and brokers."
