Strong performance for Coventry Building Society

Commenting on these results, Steve Hughes, Chief Executive Coventry Building Society, said:

 

“The impact of persistent inflation resulting in further base rate increases, created volatility in markets and a fast-moving situation for savers and borrowers alike. In this context we delivered a strong financial performance and growth ahead of market. We concentrated on great value products, outstanding service, and putting the right foundations in place to support our future success by strengthening capital and investing in our digital capability. We proactively supported borrowers and improved our savings rates relative to the market whilst investing in our communities. These are important proof points of our mutual model – value, service, resilience and making a difference in our communities – all delivered by our brilliant and highly engaged colleagues. I’m proud of what’s been achieved as we continue to strengthen the Society for the benefit of current and future members.”

 

Outperforming in mortgages and savings, underpinned by exceptional service

  • Mortgage balances grew by £2.3bn (4.7%) to £50.3bn. Our mortgage growth has been driven by the delivery of great products and service for our mortgage customers and brokers in a challenging market, which included maintaining our two day broker pledge.
  • Savings balances grew by £5.3bn (12.5%) to £47.6bn. We have grown savings by offering exceptional and competitive products, with a focus of rewarding loyalty. We have paid higher savings rates than the market average, increasing the premium we pay members by 49% from £230m to £342m (paying 0.81% above the market average). 

 

Strong financial performance

  • Profit before tax increased to £474m (2022: £371m). The rising interest rate environment supported an improved profit performance with a net interest margin of 1.26% (2022: 1.16%) even after paying better rates to savers, protecting variable rate mortgage customers from the full rises in interest rates and also supporting with cost of living challenges in local communities.
  • The leverage ratio increased to 5.4% (2022: 5.2%). Strong profitability has strengthened our capital position and resilience as we continue to face into an uncertain economic outlook. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio increased to 29.1% (2022: 27.4%) and remains well above statutory requirements.
  • Low arrears balances of 0.26% of mortgages more than three months in arrears (2022: 0.17%). The credit quality of our book remains resilient and compares favourably to the industry average1.

 

Delivering on our service promise whilst continuing to invest for the future

  • Excellent customer service with Experience Net Promoter Score of +76 (2022: +75) and investment in operational capacity during a period of exceptional demand from members, customers and brokers.
  • Invested £92m (2022: £94m) in improving our mortgage proposition, digital capability, operational and financial resilience.

 

Supporting colleagues and the communities we serve

  • We launched our new corporate partnership with Centrepoint to support its national and local programmes to end youth homelessness.
  • First building society to achieve B Corp status, a global standard for sustainability. 
  • Improved our Great Place to Work survey ‘Trust Index score’ from +77 to +81, putting us amongst the best workplaces in the ‘super large company’ category as well as being recognised as one of the best places to work for women.

With regards to The Co-operative Bank exclusivity agreement announced in December 2023, the Society is continuing to conduct thorough and detailed due diligence and will only pursue this transaction if we believe it is in the best interest of current and future members.
