Hardman & Co Research: Interim results 1H FY'19: geared up for growth

We had been looking for two key themes with the 1H FY'19 results: i) that any early signs of credit deterioration were modest; and ii) that the integrations were going well. 1pm delivered on both. On credit, the net bad debt write-off was down on last year. Management detailed the diversification of the business, and commented how its operating flexibility, small individual exposures, human underwriting and fixed-rate lending should limit losses in a downturn. On group synergies, we note cross referrals are ticking up each month and the cost of group funds is falling. 1H FY'19 saw good franchise and revenue growth. The valuation appears anomalous with the group's prospects.

Early strategic progress not reflected in valuation

H1 ‘22 results (to 30 Nov ‘21) show steady progress on key metrics, with signs that Time’s refined strategy under the leadership of CEO Ed Rimmer (appointed 1 Jun ‘21) is resulting in a return to growth, following the Covid-induced pullbacks in lending markets in 2020 and 2021. £58.1m of new loans were originated in H1 ‘22, up 25% over H2 ‘21, and 3% y-o-y. The gross loan book increased 4% from £115.7m on 31 May ‘21 to £120.5m. Revenue was flat y-o-y (£11.8m v £11.9m in H1 ‘21), with PBT slightl...

Solid update amidst pandemic uncertainty

In a half-year trading update to 30 Nov 21 (H1 22), Time Finance has reported positive loan origination momentum, leading to its gross lending book increasing from £116m on 31 May 21 to approximately £121m, and its Net Tangible Assets increasing from £28.4m to over £29m.

We will review our forecasts a...
