HSBC shares slump after profit beats expectations
2025-10-31 05:07:42
HSBC has exceeded analyst profit predictions in its annual results, as the new CEO emphasises a commitment to cost-cutting. The FTSE 100 bank released its first set of results under the leadership of Georges Elhedery this morning, covering Q4 and the full year of 2024, as reported by City AM. Shares in the banking giant initially rose by one per cent following market open, but quickly fell into negative territory. The stock price dropped to 889.7p early on Wednesday morning. For Q4, it reported a pre-tax profit of $2.3bn (£1.8bn), and the bank posted a pre-tax profit of $32.3bn (£25.6bn) for 2024, an increase from $30.3bn (£24bn) in 2023. Operating expenses increased by $1bn (£800m), with the bank attributing this rise to greater technology investment and the impact of inflation. Since taking up his position in September 2024, Elhedery has announced a cost overhaul, which involved dividing the bank into four new divisions. HSBC reported a decrease of $3.1bn (£2.5bn) in net interest income, which the bank said was due to the effects of business disposals and higher funding costs from transferring commercial surplus to the trading book. It also announced a $2bn (£1.6bn) share buy-back, following on from $9bn (£7bn) which began in 2024. Total shareholder return for the year was over 30 per cent, following the bank repurchasing 11 per cent of the issued share count since 2023. Similarly, the bank's net interest margin reduced by 10 basis points to 1.56 per cent. The bank has projected its net interest income to be approximately $42bn (£33bn) in 2025, considering "a number of market-dependent factors." Gary Greenwood from Shore Capital stated: "The final dividend was slightly better than expected while a further $2bn buyback was in line." He added, "Overall, there is probably more for the market to like than not here, but the shares are now trading close to a 20 year high and look increasingly up with events." Richard Hunter, Head of Markets at interactive investor, commented: "These are not results to shoot the lights out, but the areas in which HSBC is showing particular strength are those which will receive special attention following the group's new refocus." He continued, "Changing horses midstream is never an easy task, and the previously announced transformation will have upfront costs which will delay the benefits of the anticipated savings." He also noted, "On the other hand, the rationale for a more focused operation is clear and should allow the group to reap the rewards of a higher focus on profit generation, while also keeping costs in check." He concluded by saying: "Overall, these are comforting numbers which leave HSBC a strong springboard on which to build as the business is reorganised." The bank remains committed to cost-cutting, with Elhedery's cost-cutting initiative set to continue as it maintains a group-wide focus on cost discipline. The bank anticipates cost reductions of $0.3 billion (£238 million) in 2025 and an annualised decrease of $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) by the end of 2026. CEO Elhedery commented on the results, stating: "Since becoming CEO, I have focused on simplifying how we operate and injected energy and intent into the way we deliver our strategy." He continued: "I have established a smaller, core team of exceptionally talented leaders driven by a growth-oriented mindset and a firm focus on dynamically managing our costs and capital. "We are embedding this approach across the organisation to ensure we are continually focused on these two important principles. "Each targeted action we are taking is designed to unlock HSBC's full potential.
People on the move: North East appointments and promotions of the week
2025-10-25 16:09:06
Newcastle accountancy and business advisory firm UNW has strengthened its corporate finance team with the appointment of Naomi Townsend as senior manager. Ms Townsend studied Law at the University of Leeds before joining KPMG Newcastle in 2014, where she gained experience across audit and corporate finance over seven years. In 2021, she joined mid-market private equity firm LDC as investment manager and she was named ‘Young Financier of the Year’ at the North East Young Professionals Awards in 2022. She said: “I’ve always admired UNW’s reputation – not just for the quality of its work but for how it supports its people. Having worked alongside the team in various capacities over the years, I could see first hand how much trust clients place in them, and I’m excited to now be part of that. “UNW has built a fantastic corporate finance team, and I’m looking forward to working with ambitious businesses across the region, helping them navigate their growth opportunities. I’m also really pleased to be working with Chris Wilson and Nick Broadhead again, having previously worked together at KPMG. This is an exciting new chapter for me, and I can’t wait to get started.” Her appointment follows Jack McCullagh’s move to the corporate finance team as an executive in January after previously working in UNW’s audit department. Chris Wilson, partner and head of corporate finance at UNW, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome both Naomi and Jack to the team. Naomi’s extensive experience and proven track record in dealmaking – as both an advisor and an investor – will offer a unique perspective and provide immediate value to our clients. At UNW, we’ve consistently stated that we want to provide the highest quality advice to our clients and having the best and most experienced people is a big part of that strategy. “We are also committed to creating opportunities for talent to develop and progress. Jack’s recent move from audit to corporate finance is a great example of how the firm invests in its people and offers varied career paths. With Naomi and Jack on board, our team is stronger than ever as we head into another exciting and busy year.” Newton Aycliffe offshore specialist Tekmar Group plc has appointed Marc Bell, current managing director of Tekmar Energy, as chief operating officer. Mr Bell has almost 25 years of experience of business leadership experience and has spent the past 15 years in the global energy sector, holding key roles in offshore wind and subsea industries. Before joining Tekmar, Mr Bell held senior roles including global operations director for JDR Cables, head of offshore wind UKI for Siemens Gamesa, and global manufacturing manager for Technip Umbilicals. In his new role he will take on the leadership of Pipeshield in addition to his responsibilities with Tekmar Energy. Richard Turner, CEO of Tekmar Group, said: “We are delighted to appoint Marc Bell into the role of chief operating officer of Tekmar, at a pivotal point in the company’s growth journey. Marc has a wealth of experience in the global energy sector, and in his current role as managing director of Tekmar Energy, he has been instrumental in achieving a number of key strategic milestones for the group and building it into the frontrunner for cable protection technology today. “This appointment marks another step forward in the execution of our three-year plan to create a step change in profit performance and drive sustainable value creation at Tekmar. We look forward to working with Marc in his new role to continue to execute on our growth strategy and deliver value for our shareholders.” Law firm for businesses, Muckle LLP , has appointed Joe Millar as a solicitor in its real estate team. Mr Millar brings experience in residential and commercial property from his time at a major UK law firm in Leeds. He will now will play a key role in strengthening Muckle’s real estate services across the North East and Teesside. He said: “I’ve always been really interested in property—it was one of the first areas I got into after finishing my LPC masters degree at Leeds Beckett. I kept building on that experience while working as a chartered legal executive before finally qualifying as a solicitor last year. I joined Muckle because I was ready for a change. The firm’s wide range of high-quality work and its strong commitment to supporting and valuing its people were what drew me here.” “The team at Muckle is really approachable and knowledgeable, and there’s always a good atmosphere in the office. It feels good to be back in the North East, serving clients in a region I know and love.” Jonathan Combe, partner and head of real estate, said: “We’re delighted to start the new year by welcoming Joe to the team. His background in property and knowledge of the area will be invaluable in supporting clients across both the public and private sectors. We’re always exploring ways to develop and enhance the services we can provide. We’re excited to see the positive impact Joe will have in driving our real estate practice forward.” The Alnwick Garden has appointed a new head gardener who was personally headhunted by the Duchess of Northumberland. Mikey Leach was approached and interviewed for the role by the Duchess, Jane Percy, who came across his work after looking for the right person to fill the role. His career caught her attention and includes working in private gardens designed by Tom Stuart-Smith to working alongside renowned gardener Monty Don at Longmeadow Gardens. Mr Leach, who oversees a team of 11 gardeners, said:“In my new role as head gardener, I am passionate about building on The Garden’s rich history while exploring innovative approaches to horticulture, ensuring the venue continues to inspire and engage visitors for years to come. I find real satisfaction in knowing that my work creates spaces where people can connect with the natural world, experience its beauty, and take a moment to pause and reflect. It’s this connection between plants, people, and places that makes my role so meaningful.” Azets has appointed Jodie Barwick-Bell as a private client tax partner in the North East, advising families with complex tax affairs. Ms Barwick-Bell is a highly experienced private client tax adviser and has a specialism in family offices. Her career includes Evelyn Partners, Deloitte and KPMG, as well as running family offices. She said: “There is clear demand for strategic advice from multigenerational families with complex tax affairs in the North East, with Azets well-positioned to provide a range of services under one roof and a holistic, joined-up strategy. The North East region has nearly 193,000 companies – many are owned and run by business owners who have not yet agreed a succession plan. “Given the recently announced IHT changes which take effect from April 2026, this year is a particularly important time for business owners to obtain tax advice and plan for the future.” Brian Laidlaw, Azets’ head of North East, said: “This is another exciting appointment for us at Azets in the North East – we have spoken about the ongoing drive to recruit senior hires and support regional businesses and their owners through the full growth lifecycle. Jodie brings considerable personal tax experience in advising private clients with varied business and investment interests, supporting them with tax, investment structuring, succession planning, trusts and philanthropy, dovetailing with our other specialist service lines.” SPG Resourcing has appointed Sham Chohan to lead the growth of its European cyber security recruitment division. With an extensive background in technology recruitment, Mr Chohan brings expertise in the technology and security sectors. His appointment signals SPG Resourcing’s commitment to addressing the increasing demand for cybersecurity professionals across Europe. He said: “The cyber security landscape is evolving rapidly, and organisations need access to the right talent to stay ahead of emerging threats. SPG Resourcing has built a strong reputation in technology recruitment. I’m excited to lead the cyber security division, further expanding our capabilities and connecting businesses with the expertise they need.”
Gordon Ramsay's TV company rakes in £60m as chef's empire continues to soar
2025-11-02 10:40:57
Gordon Ramsay's production company, Humble Pie Productions, trading as Studio Ramsay, has reported a significant increase in turnover and continued profit growth in its latest financial year. The company posted a turnover of £60.6m for the 12 months to 30 June, 2024, alongside a pre-tax profit of £7.1m, as reported by City AM. This is a notable increase from the £43.1m turnover and £5.6m pre-tax profit achieved in the 18 months leading up to June 2023. The recent results, filed with Companies House, follow a reported turnover of £7m and pre-tax profit of £226,459 for the calendar year of 2021. Following a joint venture signed with Fox in September 2021, the company has been commissioned to produce shows such as Trailblazers for the BBC, Gordon's Food Stars of Fox and Next Level Chef for both ITV and Fox. Studio Ramsay stated that these commissions have "significantly contributed to the significant increase in the turnover during the period". The London and Glasgow-based company also noted that the decrease in its gross profit margin, from 27 per cent to 18 per cent, was "driven by the increase in productions during the year." Furthermore, it highlighted that "the high margin achieved from the distribution and participation revenue streams have little or no costs of sale". Other productions by the company include Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars, Gino's Italian Family Adventure, and The F Word. In May 2024, City AM reported Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant turnover for the year leading up to August 27, 2023, was £95.6m, a significant increase from the previous year's £78.9m. However, pre-tax losses also increased from £1m to £3.4m during the same period. The group has stakes in 56 restaurants, including 34 in the UK and 22 licensed locations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. These include Gordon Ramsay's flagship restaurant, the three Michelin-starred site on Royal Hospital Road, London, and the one-starred Petrus. The group also operates three restaurants at the Savoy Hotel, which includes the one-starred 1890 by Gordon Ramsay, and two Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay restaurants in Mayfair and Manchester. In July 2024, City AM also reported that Gordon Ramsay had partnered with Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corp to invest $100m (£77m) in HexClad, a manufacturer of nonstick cookware. This deal resulted in Studio Ramsay acquiring a minority stake in the business.
