Outlook

Continued positive trading momentum throughout December 2025 underpins significant Board confidence that trading for the current financial year ending 31 May 2026 will be at least in line with market expectations.

Commenting on the Interim Results, Tanya Raynes, Time Finance Non-Executive Chair, said:

“The first six months trading of FY2025/26 mark a solid financial performance and strong start in terms of delivery against our current strategic plan through to May 2028, with robust demand from UK SMEs helping to drive the Lending Book to record highs. While Revenues continue to grow, the focus on efficiencies has resulted in growth in both margins, Profits and EPS. Net Tangible Assets are at an all-time high; cash reserves and funding sources remain healthy; while arrears and write-offs have both fallen, reflecting the strong credit controls in place across the Group. The Board, therefore, feel confident that the Group remains well positioned to deliver further long-term growth and increased value to the Company’s shareholders.”
