Full Year 2024 Trading Update
Funding Circle Holdings plc ("Funding Circle" or the "Group"), the UK's leading SME lending platform, is pleased to
provide a trading update for the full year ended 31 December 2024.
Business Performance
Building on the strong half-year results published in September 2024, the Group delivered a good performance in the
second half of the year, consistent with the Board's expectations. Accordingly, we expect to deliver positive Group
profit before tax for the full year in line with the upgraded guidance as set out in September 2024 and we remain on
track with our medium term guidance.
Funding Circle's results for the full year ended 31 December 2024 will be published on 6 March 2025.
Capital Return Update
In October 2024, the Board announced a further GBP25m share buyback programme which is expected to be completed in Q2
2025. To date, approximately GBP10m of ordinary shares have been repurchased and cancelled.
Lisa Jacobs, Funding Circle CEO, says:
"Last March we set out a plan to be a simpler, leaner and profitable business whilst continuing to show strong growth.
We successfully completed the sale of the US business in July, have simplified the UK business and delivered on our
upgraded guidance. We enter 2025 well-placed to make further progress against our medium-term plan and help get finance
to even more SMEs."
