Latitude Group Holdings Limited (ASX: LFS) today announced its Full Year 2025 (FY25) results for the 12 months to 31 December 2025, reporting Cash NPAT of $105.1 million, up $39.2 million or 59% year-on-year (YoY), and Statutory NPAT from continuing operations of $94.4 million, up $63.8 million or 208% YoY on FY24. The company reported record new credit card spend and loan originations of $9.1 billion, up 10% YoY, driven by strong demand, effective product and marketing strategies, and resulting market share gains. Gross receivables reached $7.2 billion, up 7% YoY, their highest level in five years. Operating income increased 15% YoY to $839.5 million, with revenue margin up 78bps YoY to 12.12%, reflecting pricing strategy discipline and the benefit of central bank cash rate reductions through FY25. Risk-adjusted income increased 11% YoY to $573.2 million, with net charge-offs of 3.85%, up 52bps and in line with point-in-cycle expectations. Cash operating expenses decreased 3% YoY (excluding FY24 one-off benefits), with productivity gains offsetting higher volumes, resulting in a cash cost-to-income ratio of 43.1%, an improvement of approximately 800bps YoY on a normalised basis. The company further strengthened its funding and liquidity, raising or refinancing $1.5 billion of ABS term debt and $1.5 billion of warehouse facilities, and completed the buyback of ~$11 million of Capital Notes.
