Nick Slape, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"In the first three months of 2023 we have again delivered a
strong business performance with a statutory profit before tax of
GBP30.6m and a statutory return on tangible equity of 15.1%. In
particular, I am pleased with the 28% improvement in underlying
profit in the period to GBP35.1m.
I remain confident that the Bank is well-positioned in the
current uncertain macroeconomic environment, with surplus capital
and liquidity and a low-risk simple balance sheet.
In the first quarter, we completed the insourcing of Capita
colleagues and are now focussed on migrating customers to our new
savings platform. Our unique position as the leading ethical Bank
in the UK, combined with targeted investment to transform and
simplify our operations, will enable us to continue to make it
easier for our customers to interact with us, whilst delivering
sustainable returns for our shareholders."

-- Operating expenditure increased by 20% to GBP101.5m (1Q 22:

Examples of such forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, statements regarding the future financial position of
the Group and its commitment to its plan and other statements that
are not historical facts, including statements about the Group or
its directors' and/or management's beliefs and expectations. Any
