Strong growth, cautious approach
SUMMARY
S&U’s FY17 results showed continued strong growth in motor finance receivables with an increase of 33%. Competition has had some effect on cost of sales and mix change has been reflected in an expected increase in impairments but pre-tax profit growth was still above 20% and the outlook remains encouraging. The Aspen Bridging finance pilot may provide another avenue for growth while it is reassuring that management is taking a prudent approach in this new area.
