FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

The Group’s statutory profit before tax for the first nine months of 2025 was £4,678 million, 9% lower than in the

first nine months of 2024. This included higher total income, more than offset by a charge for motor finance

commission arrangements in the third quarter and a higher impairment charge. Profit after tax was £3,322 million

and earnings per share was 4.8 pence (nine months to 30 September 2024: £3,777 million and 5.3 pence

respectively).

Total income for the nine months of 2025 was £14,252 million, an increase of 6% on the same period in 2024 (nine

months to 30 September 2024: £13,477 million). Net interest income of £9,808 million was up 7% on the prior year

(nine months to 30 September 2024: £9,125 million), driven by higher average interest-earning assets and a higher

margin, which benefitted from a growing structural hedge contribution as balances were reinvested in a higher rate

environment, partially offset by mortgage refinancing driving margin compression and deposit churn headwinds.

Other income increased by 2% to £4,444 million (nine months to 30 September 2024: £4,352 million), with higher

other operating income and a higher insurance service result, partially offset by lower net trading income and lower

net fee and commission income. Other operating income increased by 20% to £1,639 million (nine months to 30

September 2024: £1,369 million) as a result of vehicle fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental values in UK

Motor Finance within Retail. The insurance service result benefitted from higher income in the workplace pensions

business and higher general insurance income net of claims. Net trading income benefitted from growth in Equity

Investments and Central Items, which was driven by the Group’s equity and direct investment businesses, with

strong income growth from Lloyds Living and higher income from Lloyds Development Capital. This was more than

offset by the effects of negative market volatility.

Total operating expenses were £8,955 million (nine months 30 September 2024: £8,058 million). This included a

higher remediation charge relating to motor finance commission arrangements and reflected inflationary pressures,

strategic investment including planned higher severance front-loaded into the first quarter of 2025 and business

growth costs. This was partially offset by cost savings and continued cost discipline. Operating lease depreciation

was higher due to fleet growth, the depreciation of higher value vehicles and declines in used electric car prices.

A remediation charge of £912 million was recognised by the Group in the first nine months of 2025 (nine months to

30 September 2024: £124 million), including an £800 million charge in the third quarter in relation to the potential

impact of motor finance commission arrangements, bringing the total provision for motor finance to £1,950 million.

The FCA published a consultation on an industry wide motor finance redress scheme on 7 October 2025. This

provides further detail on its proposed redress approach following the Supreme Court judgment handed down on 1

August 2025, in particular the products in scope, situations where it considers inadequate disclosure would give

rise to an unfair relationship, proposed redress methodology, engagement approach and time bar. Based on the

FCA proposals in their current form, the potential impact is at the adverse end of the Group’s range of expected

outcomes.

As previously stated, in establishing the Group’s previous provision of £1,150 million, the Group created a range of

scenarios to address uncertainties on a number of key inputs. The FCA proposals are subject to consultation and

there remain a number of uncertainties. Accordingly, the Group’s approach continues to consider a probability

weighted outcome considering a range of scenarios representing sensitivities to the FCA’s current proposals,

together resulting in the additional charge of £800 million. This reflects the increased likelihood of a higher number

of historical cases, particularly DCA, being eligible for redress, including those dating back to 2007 and also the

likelihood of a higher level of redress than previously anticipated, reflecting the FCA’s proposed redress calculation

approach, which is less closely linked to actual customer loss than anticipated.

The Group remains committed to ensuring customers receive appropriate redress where they suffered loss. The

current FCA proposals remain a consultation. Given that the Group has concerns, including relating to the

approach to unfairness and proposed redress methodology, representations will be made to the FCA. The ultimate

outcome of the motor finance commission issue for the Group may evolve as a result of representations made by

various parties as well as further legal proceedings. However, the total £1,950 million provision, including both

redress and operational costs, represents the Group’s best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance

issue.

Income statement (continued)

Asset quality has remained strong in the first nine months of 2025. The impairment charge was £619 million, up

from £272 million in the nine months to 30 September 2024 which benefitted from a large credit from

improvements in the Group’s economic outlook. In Commercial Banking, higher charges in the first half of the year

driven by a small number of individual cases were offset by lower expected losses given observed resilient

performance and improved loss expectations for accounts in recoveries. Retail portfolios continued to perform

strongly.

Balance sheet

As at 30 September 2025, total assets were £30,767 million higher at £937,464 million (31 December 2024:

£906,697 million). Financial assets at amortised cost were £16,022 million higher at £547,799 million (31 December

2024: £531,777 million) supported by increases in loans and advances to customers. This included growth of £8,725

million in UK mortgages and growth across UK Retail unsecured loans, credit cards, UK Motor Finance and the

European retail business totalling £6,542 million. Lending balances increased by £2,504 million in Commercial

Banking, with higher Institutional balances alongside growth in securitised products, partially offset by repayments

of government-backed lending. The growth in loans and advances to customers was partially offset by a

£717 million reduction in loans and advances to banks and a £822 million reduction in debt securities.

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss increased by £16,326 million, with increased holdings in the

Insurance business as a result of market gains on equity investments held to back insurance and investment

contract liabilities and increased reverse repurchase agreements in the banking business.

Derivative financial assets were £5,003 million lower at £19,062 million (31 December 2024: £24,065 million),

driven by market movements in the period. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of

£37,091 million increased by £6,401 million in the period reflecting increases in liquid asset holdings. Cash and

balances at central banks reduced by £859 million to £61,846 million (31 December 2024: £62,705 million). Other

assets were £2,120 million lower, primarily reflecting the disposal of the Group’s bulk annuity business in the

second quarter partially offset by increased settlement balances.

Total liabilities were £31,022 million higher at £891,831 million (31 December 2024: £860,809 million). Customer

deposits of £496,722 million increased in the period by £13,977 million. Retail deposits increased £4,019 million in

the period, including growth in Retail savings accounts, as a result of net inflows to limited withdrawal and fixed

term deposits given the Group’s strong performance throughout the ISA season, and growth in European retail

balances. This was alongside growth in current accounts, due to strength in customer income and subdued spend.

Commercial Banking deposits were up £9,923 million, resulting from growth in targeted sectors. Deposits from

banks increased by £2,172 million (31 December 2024: £6,158 million), while repurchase agreements at amortised

cost reduced by £981 million (31 December 2024: £37,760 million).

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss increased by £2,435 million to £30,046 million at 30

September 2025 due to increased repurchase agreements. Derivative financial liabilities decreased by £5,744

million to £15,932 million as a result of market movements. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment

contracts increased by £14,534 million reflecting the increase in policyholder investments. Other liabilities

decreased by £2,754 million and included the effects of the disposal of the Group’s bulk annuity business, partially

offset by increased provisions, primarily driven by the increase in relation to motor finance commission

arrangements. Debt securities in issue increased by £6,536 million, with new issuances in the period, while

subordinated liabilities reduced by £847 million.

Total equity of £45,633 million at 30 September 2025 decreased from £45,888 million at 31 December 2024. Profit

for the period, the unwind of the cash flow hedging reserve and issuance of an AT1 capital instrument in February

2025 was more than offset by the impact of the ongoing share buyback programme, the dividends paid in May

2025 and September 2025, as well as the impact of redemptions of AT1 capital instruments in June 2025 and

September 2025 and a lower pension surplus.

Capital

The Group’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio reduced to 13.8% at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024:

14.2%). Banking business profits for the first nine months of the year, after a provision charge for motor finance

commission arrangements, and the dividends received from the Group’s Insurance business were more than offset

by the recognition of the full capital impact of the ongoing ordinary share buyback programme, the accrual for

foreseeable ordinary dividends, the payment of the interim ordinary dividend in September 2025, distributions on

other equity instruments and an increase in risk-weighted assets.

The Group’s total capital ratio reduced to 18.6% at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: 19.0%). The increase in

CET1 capital and the issuance of new AT1 and tier 2 capital instruments during the period was more than offset by

AT1 and tier 2 instrument calls, other tier 2 movements and the increase in risk-weighted assets. The MREL ratio

reduced to 31.2% at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: 32.2%) with the increase in other eligible liabilities

more than offset by the reduction in total capital resources after adjustments and the increase in risk-weighted

assets.

Risk-weighted assets increased by £7,625 million to £232,257 million at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024:

£224,632 million). This reflects the impact of strong lending growth and other movements, partially offset through

continued optimisation activity.

The Group’s UK leverage ratio reduced to 5.2% at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: 5.5%), reflecting the

reduction in tier 1 capital and an increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter primarily reflects increases

across loans and advances and other assets, due in part to strong lending growth, in addition to an increase in off-

balance sheet items.

2UK Motor Finance includes £223 million relating to provisions against residual values of vehicles subject to finance leases.

3.Total ECL allowance by scenario

The following table shows the Group’s ECL for the probability-weighted, upside, base case, downside and severe

downside scenarios. As at 31 December 2024, the severe downside scenario incorporated adjustments made to UK

Bank Rate and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation paths which, as at 30 September 2025, have been removed.

4.UK economic assumptions

Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group’s base case economic scenario has been updated to reflect ongoing geopolitical developments and

changes in domestic economic policy. The Group’s updated base case scenario has the following conditioning

assumptions. First, global conflicts do not lead to major discontinuities in commodity prices or global trade.

Second, the US effective tariff rate is maintained at prevailing levels pending a switch to a sector-based tariff

framework. Third, UK fiscal policy acts to restore a margin of headroom against the current fiscal rules.

Based on these assumptions and incorporating the economic data published in the second quarter of 2025, the

Group’s base case scenario is for a slow expansion in gross domestic product (GDP) and a further rise in the

unemployment rate alongside small gains in residential and commercial property prices. With underlying

inflationary pressures expected to recede slowly, modest reductions in UK Bank Rate are expected to continue in

2026, reaching a ‘neutral’ policy stance around the middle of the year. Risks around this base case economic view

lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

The Group has taken into account the latest available information at the reporting date in defining its base case

scenario and generating alternative economic scenarios. The scenarios include forecasts for key variables as at the

third quarter of 2025. Actual data for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to

publication and have not been included.

The Group’s approach to generating alternative economic scenarios is set out in detail in note 21 to the financial

statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, found in the Group’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F. As at

30 September 2025, the non-modelled adjustments previously applied to UK Bank Rate and CPI inflation in the

severe downside scenario have been removed. This is because the incremental ECL impact is no longer considered

sufficiently material to justify their application. Accordingly, its removal has had no material impact on ECL.

UK economic assumptions – base case scenario by quarter

Key quarterly assumptions made by the Group in the base case scenario are shown below. GDP growth is

presented quarter-on-quarter. House price growth, commercial real estate price growth and CPI inflation are

presented year-on-year, i.e. from the equivalent quarter in the previous year. Unemployment rate and UK Bank

Rate are presented as at the end of each quarter.

4.UK economic assumptions (continued)

UK economic assumptions – scenarios by year

Key annual assumptions made by the Group are shown below. GDP growth and CPI inflation are presented as an

annual change, house price growth and commercial real estate price growth are presented as the growth in the

respective indices within the period. Unemployment rate and UK Bank Rate are averages for the period.
