Commenting on the quarter, Adam Bennett, Plenti’s Chief Executive Officer said:
“I’m delighted to close FY26 with another strong quarter, maintaining growth momentum by
leveraging Plenti’s proprietary digital platform across our diverse channels to market. Total
originations of $475 million was a robust result in a more variable operating environment and
helped us materially exceed our original year-end loan portfolio target of $3 billion, with
portfolio growth of 22% year-on-year.”
“Our full year Cash PBT and Cash NPAT results were a particular highlight, as our disciplined
delivery drove significant profitability growth, and this in turn generated surplus free cash to
repay corporate debt and fund ongoing loan originations.”
FY26 objectives
Plenti is pleased to have successfully delivered on its three FY26 objectives across growth,
profitability and efficiency.
Plenti achieved unaudited Cash PBT of $16.7 million in 2H26, bringing full year FY26 unaudited
Cash PBT to $30.8 million, an increase of 117% on PCP. Unaudited Cash NPAT in 2H26 was $14.5
million, resulting in full year FY26 unaudited Cash NPAT of $27.3 million. This represents growth
of 97% on FY25 Cash NPAT of $13.8 million.
Plenti’s strong originations momentum throughout FY26 saw the delivery of the $3 billion loan
portfolio objective ahead of the original target of January 2026.
Unaudited operating cost-to-net margin for FY26 was 56.7%, below the target threshold of 57%.
Priority FY26 objective
Growth ✓ $3 billion loan portfolio by March 2026 in Horizon 1 with acceleration of
origination growth into Horizon 2 (achieved January 2026)
Profitability ✓ Continue to drive meaningful Cash NPAT growth as we scale with
growth in Cash NPAT in 2H26 on 1H26
Efficiency ✓ Cost to net margin below 57%
Further details in respect of FY26 and the outlook for FY27 will be provided when Plenti reports
its full financial year result on Wednesday 20 May 2026.
Loan portfolio
Plenti’s loan portfolio, which is a key driver of revenue and profitability, increased to $3.1 billion
at 31 March 2026, a 22% increase from 31 March 2025 and a 4% increase from 31 December 2025.
The loan portfolio remains diversified across Plenti’s three lending verticals, each of which
delivered strong growth against the prior corresponding period (PCP) and prior quarter.
Loan portfolio by product ($m) 31 Mar 25 31 Mar 26 Growth
Automotive 1,431 1,779 24%
Renewable energy 341 427 25%
Personal 764 900 18%
Total 2,537 3,106 22%
Loan originations and margins
Overall originations result
Plenti delivered loan originations in the quarter of $475 million, up 17% on PCP and broadly
consistent with the prior quarter. After adjusting for the number of business days in the quarter,
originations were up approximately 1% on the prior quarter, achieving an all-time record daily
rate for Plenti. FY26 originations of $1,868 million represent growth of 32% on PCP, a record
annual result for the business.
Product level originations
Automotive loan originations were $251 million, up 29% on PCP and up 1% on the prior quarter.
This result reflected ongoing growth in Plenti’s commercial automotive vertical and NAB
powered by Plenti product (see further below) offset by softer results in consumer automotive
lending.
Record quarterly renewable energy loan originations of $68 million were achieved, up 30%
on PCP and up 4% on the prior quarter. Growth continued to be supported by Federal and State
government incentive programs, with the WA Rebate Battery Scheme being a key driver of the
result with over 7,500 rebates processed during the period.

Loan portfolio ($bn)
Personal loan originations were $157 million, down 2% on PCP and 5% on the prior quarter with
seasonal effects, pricing and competition and consumer demand impacting the quarter.
Margins
Plenti continued to increase its customer loan pricing to offset higher funding costs on new
originations during the quarter, although average margins on new originations in the quarter
were slightly lower than the prior quarter at ~5.4%. However, the impact of slightly lower
margins on new originations was offset by strong outcomes on warehouse funding renewals
and ABS transactions, meaning the overall portfolio net interest margin in 4Q26 was stable on
the prior quarter and above the 1H26 level.
NAB partnership
The “NAB powered by Plenti” (NPBP) car loan continued to build momentum in 4Q26, with
average originations per business day increasing 35% on the prior quarter. The result reflected
ongoing collaboration between Plenti and NAB to implement initiatives to drive top-of funnel
demand and improve conversion rates.
The NPBP loan portfolio increased to $121 million from $90 million at the end of the prior quarter,
representing portfolio growth of 34% quarter-on-quarter.
Technology
Plenti continued to invest in its proprietary digital platform in the quarter to enhance customer
experiences and drive business efficiency.
End-to-end control of the technology environment supports effective AI usage at Plenti with
numerous AI driven initiatives recently implemented. This included a new front-end digital loan
journey designed and deployed 70% faster than historic benchmarks using AI-assisted
development tools. The new journey design supports faster ongoing updates and better funnel
analytics to allow continual refinement of the customer experience.
In loan processing, Plenti’s DocAI platform assessed over 35,000 customer and partner-supplied
documents during the quarter. This capability is improving processing efficiency, supporting
higher levels of straight-through loan processing, and enhancing the customer and partner
experience.
Plenti also deployed a new agentic AI platform in the quarter which supports use cases across
the business. Initial applications include agents to assist customer service and sales
engagement efficiency. An ongoing program of process automation is planned, which is
expected to deliver uplifts in the speed and efficiency of technology delivery in FY27 and support
operating leverage as the business continues to scale.
Credit performance
Annualised net credit losses for the quarter were low at 96 basis points, slightly up on the very
low 91 basis points in the prior quarter and lower than 116 basis points in PCP. Plenti had 90+ day
arrears of 42 basis points at the end of the quarter, broadly stable on 41 basis points at the end
of the prior quarter and 43 basis points at the end of PCP.
The loan portfolio’s weighted average Equifax credit score increased to 850 at the end of 4Q26,
from 849 at the end of 3Q26, reflecting Plenti’s continued focus on lending to prime credit
customers.
Plenti remains alert to the potential credit implications of recent geopolitical and
macroeconomic developments, but believes that its disciplined approach to credit and strong
prime loan portfolio, position the business well even if economic conditions do deteriorate.
Funding
Plenti completed a $400 million personal and renewable energy loan ABS transaction in
February 2026, the Plenti PL & Green ABS 2026-1. The transaction was Plenti’s sixth PL & Green
ABS, and twelfth ABS overall with total ABS funding completed now exceeding $4.7 billion.
The transaction saw a record number of investors participating for a Plenti ABS, with strong
support from both domestic and offshore accounts including long-term relationship investors
and a number of significant new investors. The weighted average margin on the transaction
was 1.15%, representing Plenti’s best pricing outcome for any PL & Green transaction to date and
25 basis points tighter than the most recent prior PL & Green transaction completed in May
2025.
Plenti repaid $12.5 million of corporate debt in the quarter, reducing the drawn balance of its
corporate facility to $20 million. Notwithstanding the repayment of corporate debt, strong
operating cash generation and release of capital from funding transactions saw Plenti’s
available corporate cash balance increase at period end from the balance at 30 September 2025.
