The company said, “We have delivered a strong H1 2025 performance with continued balance sheet growth, an attributable profit of GBP 2.5 billion, with earnings per share of 30.9 pence, up 28% on prior year, a Return on Tangible Equity of 18.1% and a cost:income ratio of 48.8%, compared with 55.5% in the prior year. This drove strong capital generation pre-distributions of 101 basis points which allows us to announce an interim dividend of 9.5 pence per share, 58% higher than the prior year, and we intend to commence a share buyback programme of GBP 750 million in the second half of 2025.”
