o  We continue to take advantage of our significant total addressable market by positioning specialist lending propositions to meet customer needs outside of the government backed initiatives, originating record levels of new business2.

o  Our diversified product offering and multi-channel distribution has underpinned the resilience of our model, enabling us to support market demand as customer confidence returns.

o  Expanded our Platform Lending origination channel through the successful completion of The Mortgage Lender Limited (TML) acquisition, widening our Originate to Distribute optionality.

·      The improving economic outlook has driven a continued positive movement in arrears to 1.9%3, trending back towards pre-pandemic levels, from a peak of 3.6% in June 2020 (31 December 2019: 1.6%), as the payment holiday scheme winds down. This drove a cost of risk of £nil for H1 2021 (H1 2020: £56.8 million).

·      Continued to invest in and strengthen our data capabilities and deploy innovative technology solutions across the business, further digitalising customer experience and enhancing automation.
