Interim Management Statement - Q1 2015
21 May 2015
Shawbrook Group plc - Strong organic originations at strong risk adjusted returns
Shawbrook Group plc today issues its Interim Management Statement relating to the first quarter from 1 January 2015 to 31 March 2015.
Highlights
· Successful IPO with admission to the LSE main market on 8 April 2015, raising £90m of gross primary proceeds to support the capital position and future growth.
· Organic origination momentum sustained in Q1 2015 at £440m (Q1 2014: £282m) and on track to deliver annual originations in excess of £1.6bn in 2015.
· Net loans & advances to customers increased by 11.6% to £2,601m as at 31 March 2015 (31 December 2014: £2,331m) and on track to deliver targeted net growth of £0.7-0.8bn per annum.
· Gross yield compression from 9.0% to 8.5% is largely driven by business mix due to strong organic originations in the Commercial Mortgages division.
· Net interest margin in line with prior year at 6.0% as the benefits of a reducing liability yield are supporting stable NIM over the medium term.
· Cost of risk at 20bps continues to benefit from the prevailing economic conditions and remains lower than the expected through the cycle cost of risk of 50-60bps, contributing to the delivery of a high risk adjusted margin.
· Return on tangible equity was strong at 31.9% (reduced to 21.7% on a pro-forma basis assuming net primary proceeds of £82m for the full Q1 2015 period).
· Capital ratios have been bolstered by the primary proceeds raised through IPO with a CET1 ratio of 14.4% and total capital ratio of 16.3% at 31 March 2015 (on a pro-forma basis, including £82m of net primary proceeds).
Outlook
· We expect to continue the delivery of stable organic originations at high risk adjusted returns, maintaining focus on the high quality of the lending portfolio, supported by prudent levels of capital.
· The Group has made an encouraging start to the year and we are on track to achieve our 2015 expectations.
