RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 “The Group is continuing to deliver in line with expectations in the first quarter of 2024, with solid net income, cost discipline and strong asset quality. Our performance provides us with further confidence around our strategic ambitions and 2024 and 2026 guidance. Guided by our purpose, we are continuing to support customers and successfully execute against our strategic outcomes, as highlighted in the third of our strategic seminars last month. This underpins our ambition of higher, more sustainable returns that will deliver for all of our stakeholders as we continue to Help Britain Prosper.” Charlie Nunn, Group Chief Executive Financial performance in line with expectations1
2024 guidance reaffirmed Based on our current macroeconomic assumptions, for 2024 the Group continues to expect:

GROUP RESULTS – STATUTORY BASIS The results below are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The underlying results are shown on page 2.
REVIEW OF PERFORMANCEA
The Group’s statutory profit before tax for the first three months of 2024 was £1,628 million, 28 per cent lower than the same period in 2023. This was due to lower net interest income and higher operating expenses, partly offset by a lower impairment charge. Statutory profit after tax was £1,215 million (three months to 31 March 2023: £1,641 million). The Group’s underlying profit was £1,757 million, a reduction of 21 per cent compared to £2,220 million in the first quarter of 2023. Lower underlying net interest income and higher operating costs were partly offset by growth in underlying other income and a lower underlying impairment charge. Underlying profit was up 1 per cent compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, with stable net income and lower operating costs and remediation. There was also a modest impairment charge, whereas the fourth quarter benefited from an impairment credit resulting from a significant write-back.
Net income of £4,241 million was down 9 per cent on the first three months of the prior year, driven by lower underlying net interest income and an increased charge for operating lease depreciation. This was partly offset by higher underlying other income. Net income was broadly in line with the fourth quarter of 2023. Underlying net interest income of £3,184 million was down 10 per cent on the first three months of 2023, driven by a lower banking net interest margin of 2.95 per cent (three months to 31 March 2023: 3.22 per cent). The lower margin reflects expected headwinds due to deposit churn and asset margin compression, particularly in the mortgage book as it refinances in a lower margin environment. These factors were partially offset by benefits from higher structural hedge earnings in the higher rate environment. Average interest-earning banking assets in the first quarter of 2024 at £449.1 billion were 1 per cent lower compared to the first quarter of 2023, significantly due to a modest reduction in the mortgage book, as expected and continued repayments of government-backed lending in the Small and Medium Businesses portfolio. Net interest income in the first three months included non-banking interest expense of £105 million (three months to 31 March 2023: £76 million), which increased as a result of higher funding costs and growth in the Group’s non-banking businesses. Further gradual quarter-on-quarter increases are expected during 2024. Underlying net interest income was lower than the fourth quarter of 2023 (three months to 31 December 2023: 2.98 per cent) from asset margin compression mainly within UK mortgages, deposit mix headwinds and lower Commercial Banking deposits, partly mitigated by structural hedge earnings. The Group still expects the banking net interest margin for 2024 to be greater than 290 basis points and average interest-earning banking assets to be greater than £450 billion. The Group manages the risk to earnings and capital from movements in interest rates by hedging the net liabilities which are stable or less sensitive to movements in rates. The notional balance of the sterling structural hedge was £244 billion (31 December 2023: £247 billion) with a weighted average duration of approximately three and a half years (31 December 2023: approximately three and a half years). The Group continues to expect a modest reduction in the notional balance during 2024, inclusive of the reduction in the first quarter, with balances stabilising over the course of the year. The Group generated c.£1.0 billion of total income from sterling structural hedge balances in the first three months of 2024, representing material growth over the prior year (three months to 31 March 2023: £0.8 billion). The Group continues to expect sterling structural hedge earnings in 2024 to be c.£0.7 billion higher than in 2023. Underlying other income in the first quarter of 2024 of £1,340 million was 7 per cent higher compared to £1,257 million in the first three months of 2023, reflecting growth within Retail and Commercial Banking. Retail was up 17 per cent versus the first three months of 2023, primarily due to improved UK Motor Finance performance, including growth from the acquisition of Tusker. Within Commercial Banking, c.4 per cent growth reflected strong capital markets performance. Insurance, Pensions and Investments underlying other income was broadly stable compared to the first three months of 2023, with favourable market returns offset by the effects of the agreed sale (subject to regulatory approval) of the in-force bulk annuity portfolio with associated income and costs for the quarter recognised within volatility and other items. Versus the fourth quarter of 2023, underlying other income was 4 per cent higher, primarily driven by Commercial Banking. The Group delivered positive, organic growth in Insurance, Pensions and Investments and Wealth (reported within Retail) assets under administration (AuA), with combined £1.4 billion net new money in open book AuA over the period. In total, open book AuA now stand at c.£188 billion. Operating lease depreciation of £283 million increased compared to the prior year (three months to 31 March 2023: £140 million). This reflects a full quarter of depreciation from Tusker, alongside growth in the fleet size and declines in used car prices. The charge is significantly lower than the fourth quarter of 2023 which included a c.£100 million increase in the residual value provision to offset developments in used car prices.
REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued) Total costs including remediation of £2,427 million and operating costs of £2,402 million were 11 per cent higher than prior year. This includes a new sector-wide Bank of England levy, replacing the former charging structure (excluding this levy, operating costs were up 6 per cent) and expected elevated severance charges taken early in the year (£0.1 billion higher year to date). The annual levy of c.£0.1 billion was charged through operating costs in the first quarter and will have a broadly neutral impact on profit in 2024, with an offsetting benefit recognised in net interest income over the course of the year. The Group continues to maintain cost discipline and delivery of cost efficiencies, in the context of inflationary pressures and ongoing strategic investment. The Group’s cost:income ratio, including remediation, for the first quarter was 57.2 per cent (54.4 per cent excluding remediation and the Bank of England levy), compared to 47.1 per cent in the prior year. Operating costs in 2024 are still expected to be c.£9.3 billion, now plus c.£0.1 billion for the new Bank of England levy. The Group recognised remediation costs of £25 million in the first three months (three months to 31 March 2023: £19 million), in relation to pre-existing programmes. There have been no further charges relating to the potential impact of the FCA review into historical motor finance commission arrangements, with the FCA having indicated it will update in September.
Asset quality remains strong with credit performance across portfolios stable in the quarter and remaining broadly at, or favourable to pre-pandemic experience. In UK mortgages, an improvement in new to arrears and flows to default has been observed in the first quarter, following an increase last year primarily driven by legacy variable rate customers. Unsecured Retail portfolios continue to exhibit stable new to arrears and default trends. Alongside, credit quality remains resilient in Commercial Banking. Underlying impairment was a charge of £57 million (three months to 31 March 2023: £243 million), resulting in an asset quality ratio of 6 basis points. The charge is after a £192 million multiple economic scenarios (MES) credit (three months to 31 March 2023: £79 million credit), as a result of the improved economic outlook in the first quarter, notably in HPI. Impairment also reflects a pre-updated MES charge of £249 million (three months to 31 March 2023: £322 million), equivalent to an asset quality ratio of 23 basis points. Compared to the prior year and quarter, the pre-MES charge has remained stable in Retail. Commercial Banking has benefited from a one-off release from loss rates used in the model, while observing a low charge on new and existing Stage 3 clients. The underlying expected credit loss (ECL) allowance reduced slightly to £4.1 billion in the quarter given releases following updates to the economic outlook and the benefit from loss rates used in the Commercial Banking model (31 December 2023: £4.3 billion). Like for like this is higher than reported pre-pandemic levels (31 December 2019: £4.2 billion) given it includes a material increase as a result of a weaker economic outlook versus 2019, offset by a £0.6 billion decrease on individually assessed Stage 3 cases, the most significant of which exited the portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2023. The uplift from the base case to the probability-weighted ECL continues to be £0.6 billion, including the adjusted severe downside scenario to incorporate higher CPI inflation and UK Bank Rate profiles. Stage 3 assets at £10.6 billion are up slightly in the first quarter in both UK mortgages and Commercial Banking portfolios (31 December 2023: £10.1 billion). Write-offs remain low. Stage 2 assets have reduced in the first quarter to £50.2 billion (31 December 2023: £56.5 billion), with 90.7 per cent of Stage 2 loans up to date (31 December 2023: 91.3 per cent). The Group continues to expect the asset quality ratio to be less than 30 basis points in 2024.
Restructuring costs for the first three months of 2024 were £12 million (three months to 31 March 2023: £12 million) and include costs relating to the integration of Embark and Tusker. Volatility and other items were a net loss of £117 million for the first three months (three months to 31 March 2023: net gain of £52 million). This comprised £71 million negative market volatility, £20 million for the amortisation of purchased intangibles (three months to 31 March 2023: £18 million) and £26 million relating to fair value unwind (three months to 31 March 2023: £22 million). Market volatility was substantially driven by rate rises in the quarter causing negative insurance volatility, partly offset by positive impacts from banking volatility. The return on tangible equity for the first quarter was 13.3 per cent (three months to 31 March 2023: 19.1 per cent). The Group continues to expect the return on tangible equity for 2024 to be c.13 per cent. Tangible net assets per share as at 31 March 2024 were 51.2 pence, up from 50.8 pence at 31 December 2023. The increase was driven by accumulated profit, partly offset by increased longer-term rates impacting the cash flow hedge reserve and pension surplus. The Group has commenced the share buyback programme announced in February 2024, with c.0.5 billion shares repurchased as at 31 March 2024.
REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued) Balance sheet
Loans and advances to customers reduced in the first quarter of 2024 to £448.5 billion with a £1.6 billion reduction in the UK mortgages portfolio following the expected refinancing of the higher maturities in the fourth quarter of 2023, as well as a £0.8 billion reduction in Small and Medium Business lending, including repayments of government-backed lending. This was partly offset by growth in UK Retail unsecured loans of £0.7 billion, due to organic balance growth and lower repayments following a securitisation in the fourth quarter of 2023, alongside growth in UK Motor Finance and credit cards. Customer deposits stood at £469.2 billion at the end of the first quarter, a decrease of £2.2 billion. Retail deposits were up £1.3 billion in the quarter with a combined increase of £0.9 billion across Retail savings and Wealth, driven by inflows to limited withdrawal and fixed products and a £0.4 billion increase in current account balances, benefiting from seasonally lower spend and bank holiday timing impacts (with the latter expected to reverse in the second quarter). This was partly offset by seasonal tax payments and outflows to savings products, including the Group’s own savings offers. Growth in Retail was more than offset by a reduction in Commercial Banking deposits of £3.5 billion, largely due to Small and Medium Businesses balance reductions. The Group has a large, high quality liquid asset portfolio held mainly in cash and government bonds, with all assets hedged for interest rate risk. The Group’s liquid assets continue to significantly exceed regulatory requirements and internal risk appetite, with a strong, stable liquidity coverage ratio of 143 per cent (31 December 2023: 142 per cent) and a strong net stable funding ratio of 130 per cent (31 December 2023: 130 per cent). The loan to deposit ratio of 96 per cent, essentially stable compared to 31 December 2023, continues to reflect a robust funding and liquidity position.
Capital
The Group’s CET1 capital ratio at 31 March 2024 was 13.9 per cent (31 December 2023: 13.7 per cent pro forma). Capital generation before regulatory headwinds during the first three months was 46 basis points, reflecting robust banking build in the quarter, partially offset by risk-weighted asset increases. The risk-weighted asset increases reflect underlying lending, but also include a temporary increase of c.£1.5 billion (equivalent to c.9 basis points) that is expected to reverse in the second quarter. Regulatory headwinds of 6 basis points reflect the reduction in the transitional factor applied to IFRS 9 dynamic relief on 1 January 2024 and an adjustment for part of the impact of the Retail secured CRD IV models. Capital generation after the impact of these regulatory headwinds was 40 basis points. The Group has accrued a foreseeable ordinary dividend of 22 basis points, based upon a pro-rated amount of the 2023 full year dividend. The Group continues to expect capital generation in 2024 to be c.175 basis points. Risk-weighted assets increased by £3.7 billion to £222.8 billion at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023: £219.1 billion). This largely reflected the impact of Retail lending and the temporary increase noted above. The impact from credit and model calibrations was minimal. In relation to the Retail secured CRD IV models, it is estimated that a £5 billion risk-weighted asset increase will be required over 2024 to 2026, noting that this will be subject to final model outcomes. The Group’s risk-weighted assets guidance for 2024 remains unchanged at between £220 billion and £225 billion. The Group’s total regulatory CET1 capital requirement remains at around 12 per cent. The Board’s view of the ongoing level of CET1 capital required to grow the business, meet current and future regulatory requirements and cover economic and business uncertainties is c.13.0 per cent. This includes a management buffer of around 1 per cent. In order to manage risks and distributions in an orderly way, the Board expects to pay down to the previous target of c.13.5 per cent by the end of 2024 before progressing towards paying down to the current capital target of c.13.0 per cent by the end of 2026.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (continued) IMPAIRMENT DETAIL (continued) Total ECL allowance by scenario (underlying basis)A The table below shows the Group’s ECL for the probability-weighted, upside, base case, downside and severe downside scenarios, the severe downside scenario incorporating adjustments made to Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation and UK Bank Rate paths.
Base case and MES economic assumptions The Group’s base case scenario is for a slow expansion in GDP and a rise in the unemployment rate alongside modest changes in residential and commercial property prices. Following a reduction in inflationary pressures, UK Bank Rate is expected to be lowered during 2024. 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 of the first quarter of 2024. Actuals for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to publication. The Group’s approach to generating alternative economic scenarios is set out in detail in note 24 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. UK economic assumptions – base case scenario by quarter Key quarterly assumptions made by the Group in the base case scenario are shown below. Gross domestic product 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.
UK economic assumptions – scenarios by year Key annual assumptions made by the Group are shown below. Gross domestic product 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (continued) IMPAIRMENT DETAIL (continued) Base case and MES economic assumptions (continued)
1 The adjustment to UK Bank Rate and CPI inflation in the severe downside is considered to better reflect the risks around the Group’s base case view in an economic environment where supply shocks are the principal concern.
