OSB Group plc (LSE:OSB) delivered a resilient financial performance for the first half of 2025, in line with management expectations. The Group’s net loan book grew by 1.2%, while return on tangible equity reached 13.7%, despite a decline in net interest income and profit before tax driven by wider spreads and a fair value loss on financial instruments.
The company remains focused on its transformation programme and loan book diversification, supported by strong liquidity and capitalisation. The interim dividend was increased by 5%, underlining OSB Group’s commitment to providing consistent returns to shareholders.
