Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, HTB Leasing and Finance Limited, the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, has declared a dividend of £26.5m which was paid in the first quarter of 2025. The dividend has been recognised as dividend income in the financial statements of the Bank in 2025 and has been identified as a trigger for impairment of the carrying value of the cost of investment in subsidiary. A subsequent impairment of subsidiary is approximately the same value as the dividend declared has been booked during 2025 as a result. The transaction will have no impact on these consolidated financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
