IN BRIEF: Morses Club Sees Revenue Decrease Amid Lending Restrictions

Fri, 18th Dec 2020 13:39

Morses Club PLC - Batley, West Yorkshire-based doorstep lender - Reports pretax profit of GBP758,000 in the six months ended August 29, down from GBP6.7 million the year before, amid a 24% decrease in revenue to GBP50.2 million from GBP66.3 million. Says this is due to the challenges of lending to new and existing home-collected credit customers and lower customer demand during the national lockdown in the UK. Plans to pay a 1.0p per share interim dividend, down from 2.6p the year prior.

Says rate of decline in HCC customers more than halved in August, following the lifting of lending restrictions in place for new customers between March and mid-July, but expects its customer base to stabilise in the second half of its 2021 financial year.

Current stock price: 46.50 pence

Year-to-date change: down 66%
