 Coventry delivers resilient performance and mortgage growth in 
 a challenging environmentDespite the impact of the Covid-19 on financial results, Coventry 
  Building Society has remained firmly open for business. It has 
  seen continued growth in mortgages and maintained its robust capital 
  position, whilst continuing to deliver exceptional service to 
  members, outstanding levels of colleague engagement and ongoing 
  support to the local communities it serves. 
 
  Financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 include: 
    *    Mortgages: Mortgage balances have increased by 
         GBP0.8bn for the first half of 2020 to GBP43.0bn, 
         over twice the rate of market growth in the period(1) 
         . 
 
 
    *    Savings: Savings balances reduced by GBP0.8bn to 
         GBP35.4bn in the first half of 2020 due to lower 
         mortgage growth and strong acquisition at the end of 
         2019. 
 
 
    *    Member value: The average weighted savings rate paid 
         to members was 1.33%, 0.57% higher than the average 
         paid in the market and equivalent to an additional 
         GBP103m in interest to savers(2) . 
 
 
    *    Member outcomes: The Society's overall Net Promoter 
         Score increased to +77(3) during a period of 
         exceptional concern for members and disruption to 
         normal operations. The Society continues to report 
         one of the lowest complaint overturn rates by the 
         Financial Ombudsman Service(4) . During H1 the 
         Society supported over 37,000 borrowers with payment 
         holidays. 
 
 
    *    Profit: Profit before tax of GBP22m (2019 H1: GBP75m), 
         reduced from 2019 as a result of additional 
         provisions of GBP39m for potential future credit 
         losses in addition to lower net interest income 
         following the reduction in the Bank of England Base 
         Rate in March. 
 
 
    *    Capital and liquidity strength: Common Equity Tier 1 
         (CET 1) ratio remains well above statutory 
         requirements at 31.7% whilst the Society's Leverage 
         Ratio(5) on a UK modified basis has been maintained 
         at 4.5%. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio of 200% is also 
         considerably above the regulatory minimum 
         requirement. 
 
 
    *    Leading cost efficiency: At 0.47%(6) the Society 
         continues to report amongst the lowest cost to mean 
         assets ratio of any UK building society(7) , whilst 
         continuing to invest significantly in its technology 
         infrastructure and digital capability. 
 
 
    *    Outstanding employee engagement: The Society is rated 
         'Extraordinary' for employee engagement and was 
         recognised for being 2nd in the Sunday Times Best Big 
         Companies to Work For(8) list. 
 
 
    *    Supporting communities: Whilst face to face activity 
         has been limited due to lockdown, we have increased 
         emergency support for our community partners, 
         tackling immediate needs and the longer term 
         consequences of the pandemic. 66% of colleagues have 
         been engaged in charitable activity over the last 12 
         months (2019 H1: 75%). 
 
  A resilient operational and capital performance 
  The Society has delivered a resilient performance. It has been 
  open for business throughout the pandemic, increasing member 
  satisfaction and delivering continued excellent service. It has 
  continued to grow, increasing mortgage balances by GBP0.8bn. 
  The strength of the Society's savings proposition is shown by 
  the GBP103m additional savings interest it returned to members 
  by paying higher than market rates(2) . The Society remains committed 
  to providing long term value, great service and a secure home 
  for its members' savings. 
 
  As a mutual building society the organisation is run in the long 
  term interest of members, with prudence and resilience being 
  key parts of this. The reduction in the Bank of England base 
  rate significantly impacts mortgage earnings and investment returns 
  and as a result the Society has had to make difficult decisions 
  on savings rates to balance the impact on margin. Due to the 
  worsening economic outlook and the potential for higher unemployment 
  GBP39m of additional provisions have been set aside to mitigate 
  the risk of future credit losses. 
 
  Whilst costs have increased marginally, the Society remains one 
  of the most cost efficient building societies in the UK, reducing 
  its cost to mean assets ratio to 0.47%(6) , amongst the lowest 
  in the sector. Investment in the business has continued during 
  the year and cost efficiency continues to be a key strategic 
  focus. 
 
  The Society maintained its capital strength. Common Equity Tier 
  1 ratio remains strong at 31.7% and the Leverage Ratio(5) has 
  been maintained at 4.5% - both being well above the regulatory 
  minimum requirement. Together with a Liquidity Coverage Ratio 
  of 200% these underline the Society's core strength and ability 
  to focus on the long term benefit of its members. 
 
  Delivering for members, colleagues and the communities we serve 
  Over 90% of branches have been open throughout lockdown. During 
  the toughest times, the average call waiting time across the 
  Society was just over 3 minutes(9) and this reduced to 21 seconds 
  in May - an incredible achievement by colleagues. We also helped 
  over 25,000 members use our services online for the first time. 
 
  The Society has implemented flexible working practices and retrained 
  colleagues to ensure that it meets its service promise to members 
  and satisfaction, judged by Net Promoter Score(3) , was higher 
  than the same period last year. The close relationship the Society 
  has with members has meant it was able to contact some of the 
  most vulnerable and help them when isolated and shielding. 
 
  The Society has supported over 37,000 borrowers through payment 
  holidays, making a difficult time a little easier for those whose 
  income has reduced in recent months. I am particularly proud 
  of the way colleagues adapted and worked together tirelessly 
  to provide a high quality service to members when they needed 
  it most, including launching a new online application for payment 
  holidays. Whilst it is still early days I am also encouraged 
  by the high numbers of borrowers who have restarted their mortgage 
  payments over the last few weeks. 
 
  The Society has kept colleagues safe too. No-one has been furloughed 
  and 60% of colleagues have been working from home, supported 
  by new technology and flexible working practices - including 
  over 14,000 hours of paid leave for those with caring responsibilities. 
  The wellbeing of colleagues, whether serving members in branches 
  or adapting to working from home, continues to be a critical 
  part of our response to the pandemic. 
 
  The Society has actively supported national and local charities, 
  providing emergency funding and focusing on both the immediate 
  needs of the vulnerable through support for local foodbanks and 
  donations of PPE, and the consequences of the pandemic through 
  long-standing partnerships with Coventry Citizens Advice Bureau 
  and Coventry Haven - a domestic violence charity. Its successful 
  schools programme has been re-focussed, providing stationery 
  packs and books to over 2,000 disadvantaged primary school students 
  to support home learning. The continued support of the Royal 
  British Legion resulted in donations of GBP400k to the charity 
  in the first half of the year, taking total donations to GBP18.3m 
  making a meaningful difference to the charity and the fantastic 
  work it does. 
 
  Investing for the future 
  Despite the challenges of Covid-19, the Society has made substantial 
  progress in developing its technology infrastructure and completed 
  significant migrations to new data centres. In June, it delivered 
  a project to allow stronger online authentication, a significant 
  deliverable in the Society's digital journey and important with 
  more members looking to manage their money online - a trend that 
  has been accelerated by the pandemic. The branch refurbishment 
  programme continued up to lockdown with a further 3 completed 
  bringing the total to 29. In addition, the Society is on track 
  to deliver a new HR system in September to underpin the investment 
  in its greatest asset, its people. 
 
  Investing in digital capability for both mortgages and savings 
  will be a key focus for the Society over the coming months as 
  it seeks to build on its brilliant personal service in an increasingly 
  digital world. 
 
  Commenting on these results, Steve Hughes, Chief Executive, Coventry 
  Building Society, said: 
 
  "I joined the Society on the 20(th) April with Covid-19 impacting 
  all parts of the Society and affecting our members, customers, 
  colleagues and the communities in which we operate. It has dominated 
  the first half of the year. 
 
  We responded quickly to keep members and colleagues safe and 
  stayed open for business. Managing the competing needs of savers, 
  borrowers and those in financial difficulty has been challenging. 
  I'm confident we've made the right decisions, even if difficult 
  at times, balancing the needs of our savers and borrowers, maintaining 
  the financial stability of the Society and continuing to invest 
  for the future, all with the aim of protecting the long term 
  interests of our members. 
 
  Outside of the Society, the efforts to control the pandemic have 
  been immense and I would like to thank every key worker in the 
  UK for what they have done for us during this time, the spirit 
  and hard work shown by so many has been great to see. I extend 
  this to all of my colleagues at the Society for their fantastic 
  efforts on behalf of our members during these very challenging 
  times."
