A new landscape The rise of the Challengers continues After the excitement of last year’s initial public offerings, the 2015 reporting season has seen the Challenger sector continue its relentless growth. Balance sheets have continued to expand, with lending assets for the Challengers increasing by 31.5 percent compared to a decline of 4.9 percent for the Big Five UK retail banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyd’s Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander. “In 2015 and 2016 a new For many of the Challengers, this growth has also resulted in improvements in profitability. Total profits for breed of Challengers the Challengers increased by £194m against a drop of £5.6bn for the Big Five (pre-tax figures). have emerged – the In the group we categorise as “Smaller Challengers”, the Digitally Focused average returns on equity (ROE)1 reached an impressive 17.0 percent2 (against 15.8% in 2014), which contrasts Challengers such as with a 4.6 percent average ROE for the Big Five. Atom, Fidor Bank, The “Larger Challengers” (excluding Clydesdale)3 have also improved returns with an average ROE of Mondo and Starling” 9.5 percent (against 8.8% in 2014). The Challenger landscape remains diverse, with many different business models between the participants. In 2015 and 2016 a new breed of Challengers have emerged – the Digitally Focused Challengers such as Atom, Fidor Bank, Mondo and Starling. We discuss the impact these might have on the market in a later section of this report.

A splash of colour in 2016 As we noted last year, established thinking would In last year’s report we focused on how the Challengers have us believe that cost advantage is driven by scale. are seeking to be different, either through differentiation However, in banking this is only true in part, as with driven by resources (the things a bank has available to scale also comes complexity. The scale benefits that it) or the capabilities they have (how those things are should be gained by the Big Five have been partly deployed). These continue to be relevant. eroded by unwieldy legacy IT systems, compliance issues, regulatory change and costly real estate. So in For 2016, we have focused on two further specific 2015, as in 2014, despite being significantly smaller, aspects highly relevant to the maturing business the Challengers have outperformed the Big Five on models: costs, with an average cost-to-income (CTI) ratio of margin improvement through management 59.6 percent (excluding Clydesdale) compared to 80.6 of cost of funding (and how the Challengers percent. However as we have said before, this crude suffer from higher funding costs) measure oversimplifies a complex picture: if we exclude conduct-related costs the differential is much smaller the potential impacts from changes to the (63.4% CTI ratio for the Big Five in 2015). Buy-to-Let market, a core area of lending for many of the participants Reasons for outperformance Less complex IT systems Simpler product set ”Challengers are seeking to be different, either through differentiation driven Minor regulatory changes Less costly real estate by resources ... or the capabilities they have” More streamlined and Fewer legacy automated operating models compliance issues The Smaller Challengers produced a CTI ratio of just 48.5 percent in 2015 (against 52.1% in 2014, both excluding Metro Bank), which is significantly better than 1.
