Chairman’s message
It’s been extremely pleasing
to see Plenti continue to
grow and mature significantly
over the last year.
With a loan book now exceeding
$3.1 billion Plenti continues to further
deepen its capabilities across people
and culture, corporate governance,
risk management, and cyber security.
These ensure its ongoing transition
from its fintech start up origins to now
a more mature technology led financial
services consumer lender remains
on track.
FY26 is the first full year with our new
CEO Adam Bennett in place, and it’s
been pleasing to see his enthusiastic
and thoughtful resetting of our
corporate strategy. This reset has been
combined with thorough execution of
focused initiatives to deliver on Plenti’s
commitment to use smart technology
to provide faster, fairer loans so our
customers can bring their big ideas
to life.
Plenti’s refreshed strategy is working,
and our team delivered their primary
goal of growing the loan book to
$3 billion by 31 March 2026, a full two
months earlier than expected, and
this flowed through to an outstanding
record Cash Profit Before Tax (PBT) of
$30.8 million.
As we close out the current financial
year and enter the next, I continue
to hold the strong view that
Plenti’s fit‑for‑purpose governance
arrangements, skilled and engaged
employees, reliable and innovative
proprietary technology, disciplined
approach to credit and reliable funding
practices provide solid foundations
for Plenti to achieve its medium and
longer term growth ambitions.
Economic conditions throughout the
year have varied significantly. Until
recently, Australian households and
borrowers had been operating in a
challenging but gradually stabilising
environment. Competition in Plenti’s
core lending markets was balanced,
with major banks, regional banks,
and non bank lenders all seeking to
defend or grow share through pricing,
product innovation, and enhanced
digital distribution.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions
throughout the year, and ongoing
regional conflicts in the Middle East
have disrupted supply chains and
created general uncertainty regarding
consumer lending impacts. These
factors all highlight the need for
disciplined financial management
and mature treasury management,
and advancing our funding program
remains an ongoing priority.
The core automotive, renewables and
personal lending markets in which
we operate remain both attractive
and competitive. Plenti’s performance
over the last year has been especially
strong in the context of this broader
competition, as evidenced by
significant growth in our loan book
and our Cash Profit Before Tax. We’re
also very excited to have refreshed
and re-launched our Commercial Auto
product into what we see as a very
attractive market that will recognise
and value Plenti’s competitive strengths.
Our FY26 performance is testament to
the resilience and adaptability of our
business model, the pricing benefits
we realise through our differentiated
customer experiences, the benefits
of our diversification across numerous
lending channels, our disciplined
credit performance, the strength
of our funding platform, favourable
funding markets and sound capital
management.
In the past year, we’ve executed our
10th, 11th and 12th ABS transactions,
bringing our total ABS issuance to over
$4.7 billion. Pleasingly, we brought
on an additional 8 ABS investors
(across domestic and international)
into our capital markets program
which enhances Plenti’s ongoing
financial resilience in these increasingly
uncertain times.
It is clear to me that Plenti has grown
to be a unique differentiated lending
business, with growing significance
in its chosen markets.
I’d like to thank my fellow Directors for
all that they’ve contributed during the
year, and for their thoughtful insights
and experience.
On behalf of my fellow directors,
I’d like to acknowledge and thank
Susan Forrester for her valuable
contribution to Plenti, particularly
as Chair of the People and Culture
Committee. Susan stepped down from
the Plenti Board on 30 June 2025.
As part of our ongoing Board
renewal, I’d also like to congratulate
Jacqui Colwell as she joins Plenti’s
board. She brings a wealth of risk
management, compliance and financial
services experience gained from
executive roles in NAB, Judo Bank
and others.
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank Adam for his leadership
and the entire executive team for
their commitment to driving Plenti’s
profitable growth. I also wish to
recognise the exceptional work of
the entire Plenti team for delivering
the strong results set out in this
annual report.
We remain steadfast in our
commitment to delivering sustainable,
long‑term profitability and value for our
shareholders, so finally, on behalf of the
Board, I would like to thank you for your
ongoing support.
Yours faithfully
Mary Ploughman
Chairman

CEO’s message
Plenti has always sought
to be Australia’s best
lender, and to challenge
the established practices
and habits of the Australian
financial services industry
by offering our valued
customers faster and fairer
loans based on a digital
experience that’s easy
and simple.
Since its formation, Plenti has now
helped over 285,000 Australians bring
their big ideas to life, lending a total
of over $7.9 billion in loans to finance
diverse assets and personal experiences.
I’m proud to reflect on my first full
year as CEO of Plenti, as we now pass
through a critical inflection point.
We’ve transitioned from a rapidly
growing fintech business to a more
mature high growth, profitable
digital lender to prime consumer and
commercial borrowers, that is fast
becoming a significant force in the
Australian lending landscape.
We’re extremely proud of the unique
and clear strategic differentiators
Plenti’s developed, including:
■ Our proprietary technology platform
that delivers outstanding customer
experiences and deep partner
integrations at low cost as we scale,
■ Our unique diverse and
complementary distribution
channels across four large attractive
markets including Consumer Auto,
Renewables, Personal Loans and
now Commercial Auto, and
■ Our prime credit focus and
disciplined risk management engine
that leverages data and AI to better
assess risk to deliver an enviable
10+ year credit track record.
We’re carrying forward the speed,
agility and customer connection
elements from our start-up roots, and
augmenting them with more industrial
and mature processes and ways
of working.
For FY26, the Board and management
worked together to refresh our
corporate strategy around a central
theme of ‘Growing by doing what we
do but better’. We set an audacious and
public goal of achieving a $3 billion loan
book by year’s end, complemented by
meaningful growth in our Cash Profit
Before Tax.
To help us achieve these goals we
established a strategy execution
function and continued to invest in our
market‑leading proprietary technology
and focused initiatives to enhance the
customer experience.
Our customers (brokers and strategic
partners) have responded to our highly
automated ‘straight-through processing’
personal lending proposition, enabling
Plenti to deliver exceptional loan
origination growth over the past year.
We set record loan originations
throughout the year to deliver total
FY26 loan book growth of 22% above
PCP, and we delivered our $3 billion
loan book target a full two months
ahead of schedule. This drove a record
Cash Profit Before Tax of $30.8 million,
117% above PCP.
This loan originations growth evidences
the value of Plenti’s diverse prime
lending verticals and complementary
distribution channels that allow us
to take advantage of shifts in market
conditions to deliver consistent,
profitable growth.
FY26 has been yet another significant
year in the life of your company:
■ Most critically, we ignited the free
cash generation ‘engine’ of Plenti
so that we can now self-fund the
equity component of our lending
growth, and also repaid $12.5 million
of corporate debt whilst materially
increasing our year end cash balance,
■ We further enhanced our technology
to improve our straight‑through
processing capability for selected
loan products to process an
‘application to approval’ within
one minute for over 23% of our
Personal Loans,
■ We continued to manage our
credit settings prudently to deliver
extremely low loss rates (an average
of 0.94% for the year), and
■ We continued to invest in our
people, processes and proprietary
technologies to build greater
operational resilience and improve
productivity, delivering on our
commitment to achieve a cost‑to‑net
margin ratio of 56.7%.
Having successfully executed on
Horizon 1 of our strategy to Grow by
doing what we do but better, our
attention for the coming year (Horizon 2)
is based on Growing by also doing new
things. This translates to disciplined
delivery for our customers in our
existing Consumer Auto, Renewables
and Personal Lending verticals,
whilst officially refreshing and
re-launching Commercial Auto as
our fourth vertical.
Plenti has a deliberate long-term
strategy to be a significant lender in
big markets, and our (currently) small
shares of these very large markets
provides significant growth runway.
Underpinning our expansionary
strategy is:
■ Recruiting, developing and
retaining great people,
■ Having the best relationships via
a complementary set of diverse
distribution channels to market,
■ Using data and AI effectively to
grow revenues, assess credit risk
and reduce cost, and
■ Leveraging our proprietary
technology stack to further
enhance the customer experience.
I’d like to thank our directors for their
support and counsel throughout my
first full year as CEO.
Finally, I’d like to thank our team. The
Plenti team has worked hard all year
to deliver great results, based on
exceptional loan origination growth
and outstanding customer outcomes.
I remain continually impressed at the
talent, energy and capability of the
Plenti team, and I’m in no doubt that
we’ll continue to grow, outperform
and deliver significant value for our
shareholders.
Yours sincerely

Our strategy
As the rate of change
across our world continues
to accelerate, and with
geo-political risks impacting
financial markets and artificial
intelligence increasingly
prevalent, customer
and broker expectations
continue to evolve.
Plenti is well placed to grow
its competitive position within
our chosen markets.
Plenti’s ambition to further develop
and scale into a large, highly
diversified and highly profitable
financial services business remains
at the forefront of its strategy.
Plenti’s disciplined focus last year
was to grow by doing what we do
but better to extract maximum value
from our existing three verticals
comprising Automotive, Renewables
and Personal Loans.
Achieving the strategic target of a
$3 billion loan book a full two months
earlier than planned is evidence of
Plenti’s growing ability to execute
against its strategic goals and
deliver on its public commitments.
Plenti’s strategy for FY27 – grow by also
doing new things – builds on these
foundations and momentum and is based
on the continued development of three
differentiating strategic capabilities:
1.
Deeper relationships via a
complementary set of diverse
distribution channels to market;
2.
Better use of data and artificial
intelligence to grow revenues and
reduce cost; and
3.
Leveraging Plenti’s proprietary
technology platform to further
enhance the customer experience.
Combined with building these
strategic capabilities, we’ve also
refreshed and re-launched the
Commercial Auto product via:
■ Re-designing our commercial
auto loan product including ETF
and other features;
■ Broadening distribution to new
specialist brokers and aggregators;
■ Leveraging our competitive
strengths of credit assessment and
technology; and
■ Refining our operating model with
specific commercial auto focused
business development, underwriting
and support teams.
Deeper relationships
Operating in multiple lending verticals
with diverse channels to market gives
Plenti more growth runway.
Since its inception, Plenti has consistently
expanded the diversity of its loan
offerings, its distribution channels, and
its funding sources to build strength
and resilience through diversity.
We’ll continue to maintain diverse and
complementary distribution channels
and leverage deep relationships with
customers, brokers and installers to
ensure we have multiple distribution
channels to market.
We’ll also work closely with our corporate
partners including NAB, Tesla, Cadillac,
and AGL to expand our customer reach
and profitably grow loan originations.
Better use of data and analytics
Plenti’s prime credit focus and
disciplined risk management underpin
a resilient business.
Plenti has an outstanding track record of
delivering predictable credit outcomes,
underpinned by a relentless focus on
attracting and funding creditworthy
borrowers. We’ve brought new levels of
sophistication to the loan application
and approval processes to price loans
according to the risk represented by the
underlying borrower.
We’ll continue to invest in better use
of data to serve our customers via fast,
fair and accurate credit decisioning and
best solving the price, volume and net
interest margin trade-offs required to
win in our chosen markets.
We’ll also use data to generate deeper
customer relationship insights and
cross sell opportunities that help our
customers access the credit they require.
Given the ongoing evolution of Artificial
Intelligence technologies, Plenti will
leverage AI to help our people be more
productive, improve their decision
making, and reduce our overall cost
of operations.
Leverage our proprietary
technology
Plenti’s proprietary digital lending
platform is a key differentiator.
Plenti’s speed of delivery, cadence of
innovation and improvement, depth
of partner integrations, and levels
of operational efficiency provide
significant momentum to make our
customer experience even better.
Plenti’s ownership of its own proprietary
technology platform, which is operated
and constantly enhanced by our
in-house engineering team, ensures
we can closely couple technology to
the customer without being reliant
on third party release cycles or
product roadmaps.
We’ll continue to invest even more in
our award-winning technology stack
to enable the most effective customer
journeys in market as measured by
speed, simplicity, ease of use and
reliability, and to be even more efficient
as measured by the degree of straight
through processing we achieve, and
our cost-to-income ratio.
Team engagement
Plenti has a strong track record for
attracting and retaining exceptional
talent across its business functions.
We recruit for creative thinking abilities,
dedication to tackling problems, and
ability to achieve real-world outcomes.
Plenti has developed a strong culture
characterised by four cultural values:
■ Be the best
■ Make it happen
■ Think like a customer
■ Do what’s right
In summary, Plenti’s strategy will
continue to be refined and adjusted as
it leans into its commitment to building
a sustainable and profitable business
which delivers strong returns for
its investors.

Operational overview
Automotive lending
Plenti has established a meaningful
presence in the ~$38 billion automotive
loan market since launching its secured
automotive offering in 2017. Secured
automotive lending remained the
largest volume vertical during the year,
with loan originations of $994 million,
up 40% on the prior year, and
automotive loan portfolio growth of
24% to $1,779 million.
Loan origination growth materially
accelerated on the prior year, reflecting
both stronger volumes in consumer
automotive lending and a particularly
strong contribution from Plenti’s
commercial automotive business. In
a market environment that remained
competitive on pricing, Plenti continued
to balance margin discipline with careful
management of customer demand
to ensure a consistent experience for
brokers and partners.
Plenti’s proprietary technology platform
continued to provide a significant
advantage relative to traditional lenders
encumbered with legacy technology,
facilitating the delivery of market-leading
customer approval, settlement and
funding experiences across a broad
range of distribution channels.
Plenti maintained its focus on further
enhancing its market-leading automotive
loan application experiences, extending
its distribution capabilities through
digital and broker referral partners,
developing a highly effective sales team,
enhancing its fast and efficient loan
processing capabilities, and advancing
its automotive funding program.
Expanding Plenti’s OEM partnerships
was a key focus during the year with
the launch of a comprehensive new
integration with Cadillac to support the
Australian launch of the Lyriq EV.

The ‘NAB powered by Plenti’ car loan
continued to build momentum through
the year, supported by increased
product visibility via the NAB website,
app and internet banking portal
alongside ongoing digital marketing
campaigns. At 31 March 2026 the ‘NAB
powered by Plenti’ car loan portfolio
had grown to $121 million, up from
$16.7 million a year earlier, with daily
origination run-rates continuing to
increase through the second half.
A number of product and technology
enhancements were delivered over
the year, with a particular focus on
lifting rates of automated ‘straight-
through-processing’ credit approvals.
Enhancements to Plenti’s proprietary
credit engine, together with advances
in automated document verification,
enabled faster credit decisions for a
greater share of applications, improving
customer and broker experiences while
supporting operational efficiency as
volumes scaled.
Plenti’s ongoing automotive lending
activities were supported by the
completion of the $559 million Plenti
Auto ABS 2025-2 in November 2025
– Plenti’s largest securitisation deal
to date, priced at the tightest margins
since 2021 – bringing total secured
automotive ABS issuance to over
$2.6 billion.
Commercial – Plenti’s

our commercial automotive
proposition via:
■ A dedicated commercial
sales team, with business
development expanded into
specialist asset finance brokers

features refined for

Renewable energy
lending
Plenti continues to be committed to
helping Australian households transition
to a clean energy future through
financing the installation of solar panels
and home batteries.
Renewable energy loan originations
further accelerated year-on-year,
increasing by 26% to $239 million,
with loan portfolio growth of 25% to
$427 million. Growth was supported
by a step-change in demand for
home battery systems across Australia
through the second half of the year,
spurred by a combination of Federal and
State government incentive programs.
The renewable financing market
continued to benefit from favourable
trends, including:
■ Continued elevated household
energy costs, making the economics
of solar and battery systems an
appealing choice for households
■ A sustained rise in the proportion of
solar systems installed with batteries,
driving demand for finance given
the higher system cost
■ Significant Government program
activity – notably the Federal
Government’s Cheaper Home
Batteries Program, launched on
1 July 2025, which has supported the
installation of tens of thousands of
home batteries in its early months,
together with complementary
state-based rebate and loan schemes
A significant initiative during the
year was Plenti’s appointment as
administrator and financier of the
Western Australia Residential Battery
Scheme, announced in June 2025.
Under the scheme, eligible households
can access rebates towards the cost of
a solar battery system, with no-interest
