Time Finance reports record revenue and profit growth in FY 2024/25

Time Finance

Time Finance plc (LON:TIME), the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, has issued the following trading update for the full financial year ended 31 May 2025. The results reflect the continued success of focussing on own-book lending to UK businesses, with demand remaining strong for the Group’s multi-product funding offering. This demand has driven further growth across all key financial metrics with both revenue and profitability ahead of market expectations[1] and the lending book having now enjoyed 16 consecutive quarters of growth. This is all while the Group’s continued lending discipline has delivered unchanged levels of arrears and write-offs.

Unaudited FY 2024/25 Financial Highlights

·    Revenue up 11% to £37.0m (FY 2023/24: £33.2m)

·    Profit before Tax up 34% to £7.9m (FY 2023/24: £5.9m)

·    PBT margin improved by 300 bps to 21% (FY 2023/24: 18%)

·    Net Tangible Assets up 14% to £44.1m at 31 May 2025 (31 May 2024: £38.6m)

·    Gross lending-book up 8% to a record £217m at 31 May 2025 (31 May 2024: £201m)

·    Deferred income up 5% to £26.7m at 31 May 2025 (31 May 2024: £25.4m), providing strong visibility of future earnings

·    Net Arrears unchanged at 5% of the gross lending book at 31 May 2025 (31 May 2024: 5%)

·    Net Bad Debt Write-Offs unchanged at 1% of the average gross lending book at 31 May 2025 (31 May 2024: 1%)

·   Extended and enhanced funding facilities to fuel future growth arranged with supportive, long-term partners resulting in facilities with headroom in excess of £90m at 31 May 2025

A key pillar of the Company’s four-year strategic plan through to 31 May 2025 was to focus on more secured lending, typically through Invoice Finance and the ‘Hard’ element of Asset Finance. These two core areas accounted for over 90% of new lending volume originated in the financial year and now make up approximately 83% of the total lending book. This compares to 51% of new deal volume origination and 52% of the total lending book prior to the strategy launch in June of 2021.

Ed Rimmer, Time Finance Chief Executive Officer commented:

“31 May 2025 saw the end of the four-year strategy that we commenced in June of 2021. We can look back with great satisfaction on a period of strong delivery. The business ends the year having enjoyed record revenues, improved margins and with an ever-growing lending book as UK SMEs take advantage of our multi-product offering. This has been achieved without the lowering of our credit quality as demonstrated by the consistent and stable nature of both our arrears and our net write-offs.

“As we now enter our new three-year growth plan through to May 2028, the Board is confident that the Group remains strongly positioned to continue its success and build long-term value for all our shareholders.”
