#### Alternative Performance Measures
This announcement and the materials referred to herein contain non-IFRS measures used by management internally that constitute alternative performance measures under European Securities and Markets Authority guidance and non-GAAP financial measures defined in and presented in accordance with SEC rules and regulations ("Alternative Performance Measures"). The primary Alternative Performance Measures we use are presented on a "constant currency" basis which is computed by adjusting comparative period reported results for the effects of foreign currency translation differences, which distort period-on-period comparisons. Reconciliations between Alternative Performance Measures and the most directly comparable measures under IFRS are provided in our 2024 Form 20-F, which is available at www.hsbc.com.
