Time Finance lending portfolio reaches record £230m ahead of H1 trading update

Time Finance plc

Time Finance plc (LON:TIME), the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, has provided the following update on the performance of its lending book portfolio. Increasing the Company’s own-book lending forms a key pillar of the Group’s three-year growth strategy which targets the gross lending portfolio reaching £300m by 31 May 2028.

The Company also reconfirms notice of upcoming investor events and key financial dates

Record Lending Book

As at 31 October 2025, the unaudited value of the Group’s lending portfolio reached a record high of £230m. The lending portfolio, therefore, stands 6% higher than the 31 May 2025 financial year-end level of £217m, and 12% up on the 31 October 2024 equivalent of £205m.

Within the lending book itself, the two key strategic growth areas of Invoice Finance and the ‘Hard’ subset of Asset Finance, have also both achieved all-time record highs. The Invoice Finance lending book stands in excess of £75m, up over 13% from the prior year equivalent (31 October 2024: £66m). The Hard subset of the Asset division has exceeded £123m, up over 28% from the prior-year equivalent (31 October 2024: £96m). Combined, these two lending segments mean that the secured lending element within the Group’s portfolio now exceeds 86%, another record high.

This ongoing positive lending book growth provides the Board with increased confidence that Group financial performance for FY 2025/26 will be at least in line with current market expectations.

As announced on 28 October 2025, and in advance of the publication of Time Finance’s full H1 2025/26
