DF Capital reports impressive financial results for the first half of 2026, signalling a strong start to the year for the Manchester-based motorcycle trade lender. Profit before tax rose by 49% to £13.4m (H1 2025: £9m), while gross revenues increased by 26% to £55m (H1 2025: £43.7m). The bank attributes its performance to sustained lending growth and the benefits of a diversified portfolio.
Record new loan originations reached £1.1bn, up 31%, boosting its loan book by 27% to £932m. Continued success in inventory finance, structured finance and asset finance all contributed to the strong results. DF Capital CEO Carl D’Ammassa said: “I am delighted with the progress we have made in the first half of 2026. These results show the strength of our business as we build a larger and more diversified lending franchise.”
