 below. Definitions and calculations of other alternative performance measures are included in 'Alternative performance measures' on pages 38 to 41 of the Interim Report 2025, which is available at www.hsbc.com. All alternative performance measures are reconciled to the closest reported performance measure.

The business segmental results are presented on a constant currency basis in accordance with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' as detailed in Note 5: 'Segmental analysis' on page 86 of the Interim Report 2025.

#### Constant currency performance
Constant currency performance is computed by adjusting reported results for the effects of foreign currency translation differences, which distort period-on-period comparisons.

We consider constant currency performance to provide useful information for investors by aligning internal and external reporting, and reflecting how management assesses period-on-period performance.

#### Notable items
We separately disclose 'notable items', which are components of our income statement that management considers as outside the normal course of business and generally non-recurring in nature. Certain notable items are classified as 'material notable items', which are a subset of notable items. Categorisation as a material notable item is dependent on the nature of each item in conjunction with the financial impact on the Group's income statement.

u For further information on our use of alternative performance measures, see pages 18 and 38 of the Interim Report 2025.
