Manchester Building Society Group ("the Society") today releases its financial results for the half year ended 30 June 2015.
Key points:
· Total income of £5.9m (2014: £5.7m)
· Profit before tax of £2.0m (2014: £1.6m)
· Profit after tax of £2.1m (2014: £0.6m)
The profit before tax figure of £2.0m includes profit of £745k following the sale of the Society's shareholding in New Life Home Finance Limited (NLHF) in April 2015, and a full year's charge for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme Levy.
Mortgage assets have reduced by 8% since the end of 2014 as the Society has continued to reduce the scale of its operations as part of efforts to focus on capital strength.
David Harding, Chairman of the Society, said:
"I am pleased to report that the Society has continued to deliver profitable performance in the first half of the year following the sound performance in 2014"
