SKIPTON INCREASES GROUP PROFITS TO GBP63M DESPITE DIFFICULT MARKET CONDITIONS - 
                AS SOCIETY ANNOUNCES PLANNED MERGER WITH CHESHAM 
 
Skipton Building Society's annual results show its financial strength has 
increased significantly, despite one of the most volatile trading environments 
in its history. 
The news comes as Skipton announces plans to merge with Chesham Building 
Society, creating an enlarged mutual focused on offering outstanding products 
and services to 21,000 more members. 
Financial Performance in the year to 31 December 2009 at a glance: 
Improved profits 
·    Total Group pre-tax profit up by GBP41.0m to GBP63.5m (2008: GBP22.5m); 
·    Group pre-tax profit from continuing operations up GBP0.1m to GBP18.0m 
(2008: GBP17.9m). 
Improved capital strength 
·    Core Tier One capital ratio up 9% to 9.4% (2008: 8.6%); 
·    Tier One capital ratio up 20% to 10.8% (2008: 9.0%); 
·    Solvency ratio up 18% to 14.5% (2008: 12.3%). 
Strengthened retail savings franchise 
·    Retail balances increased by GBP2.3bn, or 29%, to GBP10.5bn. Saving 
membership up by 145,000 to 700,000. 
Prudent, measured growth in mortgage assets 
·    Group mortgage assets increased by GBP1.3bn to GBP10.7bn, mainly as a 
result of the Scarborough merger. 
Reduced reliance on wholesale funding 
·     79% of funding now comes from retail balances (2008: 69%). 
Maintained high levels of liquidity 
·    Liquidity represents 29% of shares, deposits and liabilities (2008: 29%). 
 
 
Business Highlights: 
·     The merger with Scarborough Building Society completed on 30 March 2009, 
boosting the Society's assets by GBP2.6bn at that date; 
·     The acquisition of GBP723m of retail savings from Capital One by our 
Castle Money brand brought over 45,000 new members onboard; 
·     Net interest income reduced by GBP33m from GBP86m to GBP53m due to 
operating in a low interest rate environment, the cost of holding high-quality, 
highly liquid balances compared to the cost of funding, and maintaining 
competitive rates paid to savers; 
·     Our estate agency business, Connells, produced an exceptional trading 
performance, recording a profit of GBP54.1m (2008: GBP10.4m), due to improved 
trading conditions and tight cost control; and 
·     The sale of our credit and marketing services subsidiary, Callcredit 
Information Group, in December, boosted profits by approximately GBP40m and 
increased capital. 
 
The Group's ongoing success is down to its uniquely diversified business model - 
as well as a pragmatic approach to decision making and a clear plan for steering 
the business through the further challenges which undoubtedly lie ahead in the 
marketplace, according to Group Chief Executive David Cutter. 
And despite the positive performance, he emphasised the need for continued 
caution and tough decisions, where necessary, to ensure the Group - and the 
building society at its heart - continue to prosper for the benefit of members. 
"Skipton has coped well over the past year, achieving significant year-on-year 
improvements in our financial performance," David commented. 
"We have increased our total Group profits and boosted our capital in a year 
that will be remembered for the impact of the worst financial crisis in almost a 
century. 
"Our success amid these extreme trading conditions reaffirms the robustness of 
the Group's diversified business model. However, the Society itself experienced 
a material reduction in net interest margin. While the Group fulfilled one of 
its purposes by providing a supportive financial cushion, we have taken prudent 
action to widen the margin in the long-term best interests of the Society. 
 
 
 
"In addition, uncertainties remain regarding the economy; the Government's 
finances; the impact of an historic Quantitative Easing programme, and the 
distortions in the UK savings market. We therefore remain vigilant." 
David continued: "That is why we announced steps, after the end of the financial 
year, which will enable the Society to combat the challenges it faces in the 
current, exceptional economic environment - characterised by historically low 
interest rates and a distorted retail savings market. 
"These steps include increasing our mortgage Standard Variable Rate (SVR) from 
3.5% to 4.95% from 1 March 2010 and the announcement of 90 redundancies within 
the Society. 
"There is a growing risk that any GDP recovery will be anaemic and slow. Our 
members can rest assured that Skipton will continue to take whatever proactive 
steps are required to ensure their Society's continued prosperity as a leading 
independent UK mutual, in their long-term best interests." 
 
Merger with Chesham Building Society 
Skipton is to merge with Chesham Building Society, creating a Society with over 
GBP15bn of assets and a 92-strong branch network. Subject to confirmation by the 
Financial Services Authority (FSA) and approval by Chesham members, the merger 
is expected to become effective on 1 June 2010.  Full details are being 
communicated to Chesham members next week. Skipton will be writing to all its 
members with more details as part of its AGM magazine mailing in mid March. 
The two societies share a similar ethos, centred on offering outstanding service 
to their members and supporting the communities in which they operate. Chesham 
already has a working relationship with Skipton as it uses an IT platform 
provided by a subsidiary within the Skipton Group. As well as providing three 
new branches for members, the merger will further improve Skipton's capital 
position. 
Skipton have committed to retaining Chesham's three branches for 12 months from 
the date of merger, after which they will be subject to the Society's ongoing 
branch review process. There will also be no compulsory redundancies among 
branch staff as a result of the merger. Chesham members will be able to transact 
in any branch of the enlarged Society from merger date. 
David said: "We have always made it clear that we would consider further merger 
activity where it is in the best interests of our members. We look forward to 
welcoming Chesham's  members on board and believe this union will provide 
positive product and service benefits for the combined customer base of the 
enlarged Society." 
 
Paul Kilbride, Chief Executive of Chesham Building Society, added: "The Chesham 
Board firmly believes that the clear benefits of being part of a larger building 
society with broader funding sources and a larger capital base, while preserving 
the current levels of customer service and offering an extended range of good 
value products, are in the best interests of its members. 
 
"A merger with Skipton will result in Chesham's members having access to 
Skipton's large branch network, its postal and telephone investment service, 
internet facilities, and to a broader range of products and services, from the 
time when the merger becomes effective."
