DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Fani Titi, Group Chief Executive commented:
"We are pleased to report a strong performance in a volatile operating environment, with the Group generating a Return on Equity of
13.9%, in line with guidance provided in May 2024. Pre-provision adjusted operating profit grew 7.8% surpassing £1 billion for the first time
in our history, demonstrating the underlying strength of our differentiated client franchises. We have maintained robust capital and liquidity
levels, positioning us well to support our clients and drive sustainable growth.
The Group has successfully executed the strategy to simplify and focus the business as communicated at our capital markets day (CMD) in
2019. This resulted in a 200bps structural improvement in Group returns and created a strong foundation to power future growth.
We are scaling and leveraging our client franchises, allocating capital with discipline and investing in clearly defined growth initiatives to
enhance our existing platforms. We expect to generate incremental returns of c.200bps over the next five years, resulting in a ROE around
the upper end of the upgraded medium-term target range.
I would like to thank our colleagues for their dedication, our clients for partnering with us, and our shareholders for their continued support."

* The Basic EPS decrease reflects the impact of significant net gains from strategic actions executed in the prior year.
All prior year numbers in the financial commentary of this document are presented on a pro-forma basis to provide information that is more
comparable to the current year, as a result of previously disclosed strategic actions which completed in the first half of the prior financial
year. The prior-year statutory results are presented on a continuing and discontinuing basis in line with the relevant accounting standards.
Group financial summary:
Pre-provision adjusted operating profit increased 7.8% to £1 039.2 million (FY2024: £963.6 million), as revenue grew 5.0% against
operating cost growth of 2.8%, resulting in a positive jaws ratio.
Revenue was supported by client acquisition and ongoing entrenchment strategies, strong net inflows in discretionary and annuity funds
under management (FUM) in the current and prior periods, as well as growth in average interest earning assets. Net interest income (NII)
benefitted from higher average lending books and lower cost of funds in Southern Africa as a result of our strategy to optimise the funding
pool, partly offset by the effects of deposit repricing in the UK. Non-interest revenue (NIR) growth reflects strong growth in fees from our
SA Wealth & Investment business, as well as improved fee income generation from our Banking businesses. Investment income also
contributed positively to NIR growth driven by net fair value gains and dividends received. Higher trading income from client flow resulting
from increased market liquidity was offset by the non-repeat of prior-year risk management gains from hedging the remaining financial
products run down book in the UK
The cost to income ratio improved to 52.6% (FY2024: 53.8%) as revenue grew ahead of costs. Total operating costs increased by 2.8%.
Fixed operating expenditure growth reflects strategic investment in people and technology for growth, and inflationary pressures. The prior
year includes a £30 million provision related to the FCA motor finance commission review. Variable remuneration in each geography was in
line with respective performance.
Credit loss ratio (CLR) on core loans was 38bps (FY2024: 28bps), within the Group's through-the-cycle (TTC) range of 25bps to 45bps.
Expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges increased to £119.2 million (FY2024: £79.1 million). The prior year benefitted from net
recoveries from previously impaired exposures in South Africa. The overall credit quality remained strong, with no evidence of trend
deterioration.
Return on equity (ROE) was 13.9% (FY2024: 14.6%) within the Group's medium-term 13% to 17% target range, notwithstanding the
increase in the average equity base resulting from the net gain recognised on completion of the combination of IW&I UK with Rathbones in
the prior year. Return on Tangible equity (ROTE) of 16.2% (FY2024: 16.5%) is within the Group's medium-term 14% to 18% target range.
Distribution to shareholders The Board has proposed a final dividend of 20.0p per share (FY2024: 19.0p) bringing the total dividend for
the year to 36.5p (FY2024: 34.5p), translating to a 46.1% payout ratio, within the Group's current 35% to 50% payout policy. As part of the
ongoing capital management process, the Group intends to execute a share buy-back programme of c.R2.5 billion / c.£100 million to be
implemented over the next twelve months.
Sustainable and transition finance targets: We continue to make progress on our sustainability journey and have announced our target to
facilitate £18 billion of sustainable and transition finance by 2030.
Net asset value (NAV) per share increased to 587.7p (31 March 2024: 563.9p), driven by strong capital generation in the current period
and foreign exchange translation gains, partly offset by distribution to shareholders. Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share increased to
506.3p (31 March 2024: 477.5p).
Earnings attributable to other equity holders increased to £70.6 million (FY2024: £49.1 million). The current financial year reflects the full
year impact of the £350 million Additional Tier 1 (AT1) issued in February 2024, with a 10.5% coupon. The remaining £108 million AT1 from
the 2017 issuance (with 6.75% coupon) was settled in December 2024.
Key drivers:
Net core loans increased 4.7% to £32.4 billion (31 March 2024: £30.9 billion) and grew by 4.3% on a neutral currency basis; driven by
strong corporate lending in South Africa in the second half of the financial year and growth from private clients lending in both geographies.
Growth in corporate lending turnover in the UK was offset by higher repayment rates given the high interest rate environment.
Customer deposits increased by 4.1% to £41.2 billion (31 March 2024: £39.5 billion) and grew by 3.7% in neutral currency driven by strong
growth in non-wholesale and retail deposits in both geographies.
Funds under management (FUM) in the Southern African business increased by 11.8% to £23.4 billion (31 March 2024: £20.9 billion).
Net inflows in our discretionary and annuity funds of R16.9 billion (£727 million), were partly offset by FX translation losses and non-
discretionary outflows of R9.8 billion (£420 million).
Our associate investment in Rathbones reported Funds Under Management and Administration (FUMA) totalled £104.1 billion at 31 March
2025. Investec owns 41.25% of Rathbones.
Balance sheet strength:
The Group remained well capitalised in both our anchor geographies, with Investec Limited reporting a CET1 ratio of 14.8% measured
on the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach and the Investec plc CET1 at 12.6% measured on a standardised approach. The UK
business continues to make progress in its journey towards migrating its capital measurement from the standardised approach to the
internal ratings-based approach.
Sustainable and transition finance targets:
Following the publication of our enhanced Sustainable and Transition Finance Classification Framework in May 2024, we are pleased to
announce an accompanying target to facilitate £18 billion of sustainable and transition finance by 2030. This target is a vital component
of our broader sustainability agenda, underscoring our dedication to integrating sustainability into our commercial strategies, and is one
of several critical levers towards achieving our net zero by 2050 ambition. Please refer to our Investec Group year-end analyst book for
further detail.
Financial Outlook:
The global macro-economic environment is facing heightened uncertainty, creating volatility in economic forecasts and financial markets.
We are continuously monitoring the evolving environment. The guidance below is based on our economic forecasts and expected business
activity levels to date. The group's medium-term targets remain unchanged.
FY2026 Outlook
Revenue momentum is expected to be underpinned by book growth, stronger client activity levels and success in our client acquisition and
entrenchment strategies.
The Group currently expects:
- Group ROE to be c.14.0% within the 13.0% to 17.0% target range:
- Southern Africa is expected to report ROE of c.18.5%, within the target range of 16.0% to 20.0%
- UK & Other is expected to report ROTE of c.14.0%, within the target range of 13.0% to 17.0%
- Overall costs to be well managed in the context of inflationary pressures and continued investment in the business, with the cost to
income ratio expected to be between 52.0% and 54.0%
- The credit loss ratio to be within the through-the-cycle range of 25bps to 45bps. Southern Africa is expected to be around the lower end
of the TTC range of 15bps to 35bps. UK & Other credit loss ratio is expected to remain around the FY2025 reported levels.
The Group has maintained strong capital and liquidity levels well above Board-approved minimums. The Group is well-positioned to
manage the impacts of external challenges and continue supporting our clients to navigate the current economic uncertainty.
Medium term outlook
The Group is committed to its medium-term financial targets. We have a clear and executable strategy to advance our ROE towards the
upper end of the target range by FY2030.
ROE expansion is expected to be underpinned by:
- continuing to build scale and leverage our existing client franchises to generate higher returns,
- executing specific growth initiatives to enhance our current specialisations and drive incremental returns,
- and managing capital optimally
Building scale and leveraging existing client franchises
Our established client franchises built over the past five decades offer an extensive breadth of products and services to corporates and
institutions, complemented by a compelling private client offering and an international wealth management proposition. Our distinct offering
is built on enduring relationships, deep specialisations and cross collaboration between divisions and geographies. The Group operates
in large and growing markets, presenting a significant opportunity to grow our current lower market share through client acquisition and
unlocking the full potential of "One Investec".
Specific growth initiatives are expected to contribute significant incremental returns by FY2030:
- Building a Corporate mid-market transactional banking franchise
The Group is investing in platforms to enhance our corporate mid-market proposition in both our anchor geographies. This capability will
further entrench and attract clients into our ecosystem, increase non-interest banking revenues and enhance our transactional deposit
franchises. We will facilitate day to day banking needs for our clients, complementing our event-driven specialisations.
Our well-established UK Corporate and Investment Banking franchise stands as the only integrated and diversified specialist bank,
providing the capabilities of global investment banks to the corporate mid-market. We are transitioning to end-to-end corporate banking,
by adding transactional banking capabilities. There is an opportunity to create significant value by leveraging our high-touch approach and
sector expertise to gain market share. The Group plans to invest in this UK capability over the next three years. We expect around 1 000
clients to have at least two products and to achieve a market share of c.2% by FY2030.
In South Africa, our objective is to create a single platform for mid-sized South African corporates to holistically manage their banking
needs. We aspire to be the primary banking partner that seamlessly combines high-touch lending with an innovative, user-friendly
transactional banking experience. Given our current low market share in this large and growing segment, the potential to create value
for the Group is significant. We are well-positioned to become the strategic partner that offers the Investec private client experience to
businesses. Our plan is to fast-track the delivery of this proposition, enabling accelerated transactional banking client acquisition to around
three times the current base of 2 700, translating to a market share of c.8% by FY2030.
- Enhancing our Private Client offering
The Group is a leading provider of bespoke private client solutions, encompassing a holistic private banking and international wealth
offering. This is complemented by our strategic partnership with Rathbones in the UK. Our proposition is underpinned by a deep
understanding of our clients' personal and business objectives, offering tailored banking and investment services both locally and
internationally.
We are entering the next phase of growth for our UK Private Client business to accelerate the execution of a comprehensive banking
proposition. This will deepen client engagement, increase client acquisition, support higher HNW mortgage growth, and contribute to a
reduced cost of funding. Our investment in the private client transactional banking platform will facilitate the delivery of a full-suite product
offering, including multi-currency accounts and credit cards, while improving our lending capabilities. We aim to increase the current client
base of 7 500 to approximately 18 500, resulting in a market share of c.18% by FY2030.
In South Africa, we are accelerating our client acquisition strategy, particularly in the high income segment. We will continue to invest in our
wealth-led international Private Client offering to provide an integrated holistic global proposition to our clients.
The above growth initiatives are a natural evolution in our business model and will facilitate increased market share, enhance the breadth
of our client offering and enable us to compete more effectively in the market. Our cost to income ratio already incorporates investment
spend on new growth initiatives and thus we do not anticipate a significant increase in this ratio going forward. Cost discipline remains a
priority for the Group. Cost to income ratio is expected to remain below 55% in the medium term.
Capital allocation
The Group is committed to optimising shareholder returns. We will be allocating capital to activities that generate returns above our cost of
capital. The Group manages its capital dynamically, maintaining an appropriate balance between total returns to shareholders, investment
in the business and holding strong capital levels. One of the Group's priorities is to increase the earnings contribution from capital light
activities, and as such the Group continues to evaluate organic and inorganic opportunities to achieve this objective.
The strategies outlined above represent our clear path to achieving returns around the upper end of our medium-term target range by
FY2030, expected to collectively add an incremental return of c.200bps.
Upcoming business updates:
We intend to provide detailed updates on our specific growth initiatives at the following results presentations:
- 20 November 2025: Corporate mid-market
- 21 May 2026: Private Client
