LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**FINANCIAL REVIEW**

**Income statement**

The Group's statutory profit before tax for 2025 was £6,661 million, 12% higher than in 2024. This included higher

total income, partially offset by higher operating expenses and a higher impairment charge. Profit after tax was

£4,757 million and earnings per share were 7.0 pence (2024: £4,477 million and 6.3 pence respectively).

Total income for 2025 was £19,422 million, an increase of 8% on the prior year (2024: £18,003 million). Net interest

income of £13,230 million was up 8% (2024: £12,277 million), driven by higher average interest-earning assets and a

higher margin, benefitting from franchise led volume growth and stronger structural hedge income as eligible

balances were reinvested in a higher rate environment, partially offset by continued mortgage and deposit

headwinds.

Other income increased by 8% to £6,192 million (2024: £5,726 million), with higher other operating income and a

higher insurance service result, partially offset by lower net trading income. Other operating incomeincreased by

22% to £2,367 million (2024: £1,934 million) as a result of vehicle fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental

values in UK Motor Finance within Retail. The insurance service result increased by 56% to £756 million (2024:

£486 million), benefitting from higher income in the workplace pensions business, higher general insurance income

net of claims and the full acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth in the fourth quarter. This was alongside the

gain on sale of the Group's bulk annuities portfolio to Rothesay Life plc in the first half of the year. Net trading

income reduced to £1,485 million (2024: £1,812 million), largely due to market movements partially offset by strong

income growth from Lloyds Living.

Total operating expenses of £11,966 million (2024: £11,601 million) included a higher remediation charge relating to

motor finance commission arrangements. Excluding remediation, the impact of strategic investment (including

planned higher severance), business growth costs (including the full acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth) and

inflationary pressures were partially mitigated by cost savings from investment and continued business-as-usual

cost discipline. Operating expenses include operating lease depreciation which increased due to fleet growth,

the depreciation of higher value vehicles and declines in used electric car prices, partly mitigated through lease

extensions, used car leasing and remarketing agreements.

A remediation charge of £968 million was recognised by the Group in 2025 (2024: £899 million), including

£800 million in relation to the potential impact of motor finance commission arrangements taken in the third

quarter, bringing the total provision recognised for motor finance to £1,950 million.

The 2025 impairment charge was £795 million, up from £431 million in 2024 which benefitted from a large credit

from improvements in the Group's economic outlook. In Retail, the charge for 2025 reflected both strong

performance alongside the benefits from calibrations and model refinements and a debt sale. In Commercial

Banking, higher charges in the first half of the year driven by a small number of individual cases were more than

offset by releases from Stage 1 and Stage 2 model calibrations capturing strong credit performance and reducing

interest rates throughout the year.

**FINANCIAL REVIEW** (continued)

**Balance sheet**

As at 31 December 2025, total assets were £944,072 million, £37,375 millionhigher than the prior year (31

December 2024: £906,697 million). Financial assets at amortised cost were £553,672 million, £21,895 millionhigher

versus the prior year (31 December 2024: £531,777 million), supported by increases in loans and advances to

customers. This included growth of £10,806 millionin UK mortgages, alongside growth across UK Retail unsecured

loans, credit cards, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business totalling £7,307 million. Lending balances

increased by £2,707 million in Commercial Banking, with higher Institutional balances including securitised

products, alongside corporate infrastructure growth, partially offset by repayments of government-backed lending.

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss at £240,413 millionincreased by £24,488 million during the

year, with increased holdings in the Insurance business as a result of market gains on investments held to back

insurance and investment contract liabilities as well as increased reverse repurchase agreements in the banking

business.

Derivative financial assets were £4,338 millionlower at £19,727 million versus the prior year (31 December 2024:

£24,065 million), driven by market movements in the year. Financial assets at fair value through other

comprehensive income of £36,320 million increased by £5,630 million in the year reflecting increases in liquid asset

holdings. Cash and balances at central banks reduced by £6,044 million to £56,661 million (31 December 2024:

£62,705 million) reflecting a change in the mix of liquidity holdings. Other assets were £4,256 millionlower,

primarily reflecting the disposal of the Group's bulk annuity business in the second quarter, partially offset by

increased operating lease assets resulting from fleet growth and higher value vehicles in UK Motor Finance and

increased investment properties from business growth in Lloyds Living.

Total liabilities were £896,205 million, £35,396 millionhigher over the year (31 December 2024: £860,809 million).

Customer deposits of £496,457 million increased in the year by £13,712 million. Retail deposits increased

£5,442 million in the year, including growth in Retail savings accounts, as a result of net inflows to limited

withdrawal and fixed term deposits particularly through increased ISA balances, and growth in European retail

balances. This was alongside strength in current account balances. Commercial Banking deposits were up

£8,418 million, resulting from growth in targeted sectors. Repurchase agreements at amortised cost increased by

£810 million to £38,570 million (31 December 2024: £37,760 million), following £13 billion of repayments of

drawings from the Bank of England's Term Funding Scheme with additional incentives for SMEs (TFSME), more

than offset by increased repurchase agreements.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were stable at £27,909 million at 31 December 2025 and

derivative financial liabilities decreased by £5,544 million to £16,132 million as a result of market movements.

Liabilities arising from insurance and investment contracts increased by £23,632 million reflecting the increase in

policyholder investments. Other liabilities decreased by £4,375 million to £26,269 million and included the effects

of the disposal of the Group's bulk annuity business, partially offset by increased provisions primarily driven by the

provision increase in relation to motor finance commission arrangements. Debt securities in issue at amortised cost

increased by £7,437 million to £78,271 million, with new issuances in the year, while subordinated liabilities

remained stable at £9,894 million.

Total equity of £47,867 million at 31 December 2025increased by £1,979 million from £45,888 million at

31 December 2024. Profit for the year, the unwind of the cash flow hedge reserve and issuance of AT1 capital

instruments in February 2025 and November 2025 were partially offset by the impact of the ordinary share

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**FINANCIAL REVIEW** (continued)

**Capital**

The Group's common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio reduced to 14.0% at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024:

14.2%). Banking business profits for the year, after a provision charge for motor finance commission arrangements,

and the dividends received from the Group's Insurance business were partly offset by an increase in risk-weighted

assets. Further offsets included the payment of the interim ordinary dividend in September 2025, the accrual for

the final 2025 ordinary dividend, distributions on other equity instruments and the impact of the ordinary share

buyback programme that completed during the year.

The Group's total capital ratio reduced to 18.9% at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 19.0%). The increase in

CET1 capital and the issuance of new AT1 and tier 2 capital instruments during the year 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

remained at 32.2% at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 32.2%) with the increase in MREL resources,

reflecting the increase in other eligible liabilities and total capital resources after adjustments, broadly offset by

the increase in risk-weighted assets.

Risk-weighted assets increased by £10,881 million to £235,513 million at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024:

£224,632 million). This reflects the impact of strong customer lending growth, Retail secured CRD IV increases and

other movements, partially offset by continued optimisation activity.

The Group's UK leverage ratio reduced to 5.4% at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 5.5%), with the increase

in total tier 1 capital more than offset by the increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter primarily

reflects increases across loans and advances and other assets, due in part to strong customer lending growth, in

addition to an increase in off-balance sheet items.

**Dividend and share buyback**

The Group has a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy whilst maintaining the flexibility to return

further surplus capital through share buybacks or special dividends. In February 2025, the Board decided to return

surplus capital in respect of 2024 through an ordinary share buyback programme of up to £1.7 billion. This

commenced on 21 February and completed on 8 December 2025, with c.2.2 billion (c.4%) ordinary shares

repurchased at an average price of 77.13 pence per share.

In respect of 2025, the Board has recommended a final ordinary dividend of 2.43 pence per share, which, together

with the interim ordinary dividend of 1.22 pence per share totals 3.65 pence per share, an increase of 15%

compared to 2024, in line with the Board's commitment to a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend. The

Board has also announced its intention to implement an ordinary share buyback of up to £1.75 billion, which will

commence as soon as is practicable and is expected to be completed by 31 December 2026.

Based on the combined interim and proposed final ordinary dividends and the announced ordinary share buyback,

the total capital return in respect of 2025 will be up to £3.9 billion, equivalent to c.6% (as at 26 January 2026) of

the Group's market capitalisation value. The Group intends to pay down to its CET1 capital target of c.13.0% by the

end of 2026.

Going forward, given the Board's continued confidence in capital generation, the Group will now review excess

capital distributions in addition to the ordinary dividend every half year.

**SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS - UNDERLYING BASIS**

**Group profit reconciliation and segmental analysis of profit before tax (unaudited)**

The statutory results are adjusted for restructuring costs and volatility and other items to allow a comparison of

the Group's underlying performance.

The Group Executive Committee (GEC), which is the chief operating decision maker for the Group, reviews the

Group's internal reporting based around three segments (which reflect the Group's organisational and

management structures) in order to assess the Group's performance and allocate resources; this reporting is on an

underlying profit before tax basis. The GEC believes that this represents the underlying performance of the Group.

IFRS 8 *Operating Segments* requires that the Group present its segmental profit before tax on the basis reviewed

by the chief operating decision maker that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring

the Group's statutory profit before tax. Accordingly, the Group presents its segmental information on an

underlying basis, in compliance with IFRS 8 *Operating Segments*.

The aggregate total of the underlying basis segmental results constitutes a non-GAAP measure as defined in the

United States Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G. Management uses the aggregate underlying

profit before tax, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of performance and believes that it provides important

information for investors because they are comparable representations of the Group's performance. Profit before

tax is the comparable GAAP measure to aggregate underlying profit before tax; the following table sets out the

reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its comparable GAAP measure.

Restructuring costs for 2025 were £46 million (2024: £40 million). Volatility and other items were a net loss of

£70 million for 2025 (2024: net loss of £332 million). This included the usual charges for the amortisation of

purchased intangibles of £86 million and fair value unwind of £56 million. The reduction in fair value unwind

primarily resulted from the maturity of debt instruments, fair valued as part of the HBOS acquisition. This was

alongside a gain from market and other volatility of £72 million (2024: net loss of £144 million), as a result of the

gain on sale of the Group's bulk annuities portfolio to Rothesay Life plc in the first half of the year and the gain

following the full acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth in the fourth quarter, partially offset by negative market

volatility, primarily insurance related. Volatility and other items in the fourth quarter amounted to a net gain of

£87 million.

**RISK MANAGEMENT**

**PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

The most important risks faced by the Group are detailed below. External risks may impact the success of

delivering against the Group's long-term strategic objectives. They include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic

and geopolitical uncertainties and inflation trends which could contribute to the cost of living and associated

implications for consumers and businesses.

Risk management is essential to our business model and strategy, helping us to embrace opportunities responsibly

and drive sustainable growth for the Group. Our strong risk management culture, underpinned by our enhanced

risk management framework (RMF), is vital in safeguarding the Group, colleagues and customers against both

existing and emerging risks.

The Group's credit performance remains strong and stable; the loan portfolio remains well positioned amid

macroeconomic uncertainty and is closely monitored to proactively identify signs of stress.

Operational resilience remains crucial, enabling the Group to prevent, withstand and respond to cybersecurity

threats and IT outages, using intelligence and learnings from recent global events.

The Group continues to modernise its technology and strengthen capabilities and ensure the safe, responsible use

of models and tools such as artificial intelligence.

The latest position regarding motor finance commission arrangements and the potential impact is provided on

page [44](#ic1b8457913e54b32a68866db55d902e9_549755816163).

During 2025, the Group has continued to make progress in its risk transformation journey, allowing us to further

evolve our risk management approach to deliver good outcomes for our customers. This has included the

consistent implementation of the RMF requirements for all of the Group's legal entities, business units and

functions.

The RMF ensures processes are in place to facilitate robust risk management and effective decision making.

The Group's risk policies are supported by risk toolkits, which set out clear guidance and minimum standards for

proactive identification and effective risk management, fostering a strong risk management culture across the

Group.

The Group has 11 principal risks, which are unchanged in 2025 from the prior year and are underpinned by a suite of

level two risks. These consist of capital risk, climate risk, compliance risk, conduct risk, credit risk, economic crime

risk, insurance underwriting risk, liquidity risk, market risk, model risk and operational risk. These risks are reviewed

and reported on regularly to the Board in alignment with the enhanced RMF.

The Group will publish a detailed review of all of its principal risks in the annual report and accounts in February.

This will include definitions and how the principal risks are identified, assessed, managed, mitigated, monitored

and reported. A copy of the disclosures will be available to view at: www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/investors/

financial-downloads.html.

**CAPITAL RISK**

**Overview**

**CET1 target capital ratio**

The Board's view of the ongoing level of CET1 capital required by the Group to grow the business, meet current and

future regulatory requirements and cover economic and business uncertainties is c.13.0%, which includes a

management buffer of around 1%. This takes into account, amongst other considerations:

• The minimum Pillar 1 CET1 capital requirement of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets

• The Group's Pillar 2A CET1 capital requirement, set by the PRA, which is the equivalent of around 1.4% of risk-

weighted assets

• The Group's countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) requirement, which is around 1.8% of risk-weighted assets

• The capital conservation buffer (CCB) requirement of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets

• The Ring-Fenced Bank (RFB) sub-group's other systemically important institution (O-SII) buffer of 2.0% of risk-

weighted assets, which equates to 1.6% of risk-weighted assets at Group level

• The Group's PRA Buffer, set after taking account of the results of any regulatory stress tests and other

information, as well as outputs from the Group's own internal stress tests. The PRA requires this buffer to

remain confidential

• The likely performance of the Group in various potential stress scenarios and ensuring capital remains resilient in

these

• The economic outlook for the UK and business outlook for the Group

• The desire to maintain a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy in the context of year-to-year

earnings movements

**Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)**

The Group is not classified as a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) but is subject to the Bank of England's

MREL statement of policy (MREL SoP) and must therefore maintain a minimum level of MREL resources. Applying

the MREL SoP to current minimum capital requirements at 31 December 2025, the Group's MREL, excluding

regulatory capital and leverage buffers, is the higher of 2 times Pillar 1 plus 2 times Pillar 2A, equivalent to 21.0% of

risk-weighted assets, or 6.5% of the UK leverage ratio exposure measure. In addition, CET1 capital cannot be used

to meet both MREL and capital or leverage buffers.

**Leverage minimum requirements**

The Group is currently subject to the following minimum requirements under the UK Leverage Ratio Framework:

• A minimum tier 1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.25% of the total leverage exposure measure

• A countercyclical leverage buffer (CCLB) which is currently 0.6% of the total leverage exposure measure

• An additional leverage ratio buffer (ALRB) of 0.7% of the total leverage exposure measure applies to the RFB

sub-group, which equates to 0.6% at Group level

At least 75% of the 3.25% minimum leverage ratio requirement as well as 100% of all regulatory leverage buffers

must be met with CET1 capital.

**Stress testing**

The Group undertakes a wide-ranging programme of stress testing, providing a comprehensive view of the

potential impacts arising from the risks to which the Group and its key legal entities are exposed. One of the most

important uses of stress testing is to assess the resilience of the operational and strategic plans of the Group and

its legal entities to adverse economic conditions and other key risks. As part of this programme the Group

participated in the Bank of England 2025 Bank Capital Stress Test. The scenario tests a severe negative global

aggregate supply shock, leading to deep recessions globally and in the UK. In the scenario, GDP falls 5%,

unemployment and inflation rise, and central banks increase interest rates (peak of 8%). The results were

published in December 2025 and the report concluded that the UK banking system remains well capitalised. The

Group passed the stress test, performing strongly, and was not required to take any capital actions.

CET1 capital resources increased by £951 million, with banking business profits for the year and the receipt of

dividends paid up by the Insurance business largely offset by:

• The interim ordinary dividend paid in September 2025, the accrual for the recommended final 2025 ordinary

dividend of 2.43 pence per share and distributions on other equity instruments

• The recognition of the full capital impact of the ordinary share buyback programme announced as part of the

**Analysis of leverage movements**

The Group's UK leverage ratio reduced to 5.4% at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 5.5%), with the increase

in total tier 1 capital more than offset by the increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter primarily

reflects increases across loans and advances and other assets, due in part to strong customer lending growth, in

addition to an increase in off-balance sheet items.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK**

**Overview**

Credit performance has remained strong and stable in 2025. The Group maintains a measured approach to credit

risk appetite and risk management with strong credit origination criteria embedded, including affordability tests

and robust LTVs in the secured portfolios.

In UK mortgages, reductions in new to arrears and flows to default have been observed, whilst unsecured

portfolios continue to exhibit low and stable arrears trends. Credit performance also remains strong in Commercial

Banking. The Group continues to assess the impacts of the economic and geopolitical environment carefully

through a suite of early warning indicators and governance arrangements that ensure risk mitigating action plans

are in place to support customers and protect the Group's positions.

The impairment charge in 2025 was £795 million, up from £431 million in 2024, and includes a net charge from

updates to the Group's macroeconomic outlook of £74 million compared to a large release of £394 million in 2024.

Excluding macroeconomic updates, the Group's impairment charge remains low and similar to 2024. The total

probability-weighted expected credit loss (ECL) allowance was lower in 2025 at £3,228million (31 December 2024:

£3,481 million) following strong credit performance and additional benefits from model refinements.

Stage 2 loans and advances to customers are lower at £42,679million versus the prior year (31 December 2024:

£44,765 million) following strong credit performance particularly within UK mortgages. Additionally, growth in

lending from new business inflows dilute the proportion of Stage 2 loans and advances to 8.8% of total lending (31

December 2024: 9.7%with Stage 2 coverage reducing slightly at2.7% (31 December 2024: 2.9%).

Stage 3 loans and advances to customers are lower at £6,526million versus the prior year (31 December 2024:

£6,716million), and as a percentage of total lending at 1.3%(31 December 2024: 1.5%). Migrations into Stage 3 from

a small number of cases within Commercial Banking were offset by continued strong performance, especially

following improving default rates within UK mortgages. Growth in house prices combined with strong credit

performance across Retail also reduced the total Group Stage 3 coverage to 15.9%(31 December 2024: 16.5%).

**Prudent risk appetite and risk management**

• The Group continues to take a prudent and proactive approach to credit risk appetite and credit risk

management with robust oversight. Risk appetite is in line with the Group's strategy and helps support

customers through continued economic uncertainties in both global and domestic markets

• Sector, asset and product concentrations within the portfolios are closely monitored and controlled, with

mitigating actions taken where appropriate. Sector and product risk parameters help manage exposure to higher

risk and cyclical sectors, segments and asset classes

• The Group's effective risk management seeks to ensure early identification and management of customers and

counterparties who may be showing signs of distress

• The Group will continue to work closely with its customers to ensure that they receive the appropriate level of

support where required

In the following tables, purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) assets include a fixed pool of mortgages

that were purchased as part of the HBOS acquisition at a deep discount to face value reflecting credit losses

incurred from the point of origination to the date of acquisition. The residual expected credit loss (ECL) allowance

and resulting low coverage ratio on POCI assets reflects further deterioration in the creditworthiness from the date

of acquisition. Over time, these POCI assets will run off as the loans redeem, pay down or as loans are written off.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK** (continued)

**Total expected credit loss allowance sensitivity to economic assumptions**

The measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible future economic outcomes.

The Group achieves this by generating four economic scenarios to reflect the range of outcomes; the central

scenario reflects the Group's base case assumptions used for medium-term planning purposes, an upside and a

downside scenario are also selected together with a severe downside scenario. If the base case moves adversely, it

generates a new, more adverse downside and severe downside which are then incorporated into the ECL.

Consistent with prior years, the base case, upside and downside scenarios carry a 30% weighting; the severe

downside is weighted at 10%.

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

downside scenarios. The stage allocation for an asset is based on the overall probability-weighted probability of

default and hence the staging of assets is constant across all the scenarios. In each economic scenario the ECL for

individual assessments is held constant reflecting the basis on which they are evaluated. Judgemental adjustments

applied through changes to model inputs or parameters, or more qualitative post model adjustments, are

apportioned across the scenarios in proportion to modelled ECL where this better reflects the sensitivity of these

adjustments to each scenario. The probability-weighted view shows the extent to which a higher ECL allowance

has been recognised to take account of multiple economic scenarios relative to the base case; the uplift on a

statutory basis being £366 million compared to £445 million at 31 December 2024.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK**(continued)

**Total expected credit loss allowance sensitivity to economic assumptions**(continued)

The impact of isolated changes in the UK unemployment rate and House Price Index (HPI) has been assessed on a

univariate basis. Although such changes would not be observed in isolation, as economic indicators tend to be

correlated in a coherent scenario, this gives insight into the sensitivity of the Group's ECL to gradual changes in

these two critical economic factors.

The impacts are assessed as changes to probability-weighted modelled ECL inclusive of the impacts upon staging

of assets, excluding post model adjustments. In previous assessments, impacts were assessed as changes to base

case modelled ECL only (at 100 per cent weighting) with staging held flat to the reported view, and similarly

excluded post model adjustments. The updated approach addresses the limitations of the prior methodology and

provides a more representative view of the potential impact of these sensitivities.

The ECL impact due to a change in unemployment has reduced in 2025 compared to 2024 as a result of lower loss

rates within the Commercial Banking model. The HPI reduction versus 2024 is due to lower default rates and a

reduced proportion of assets in Stage 2 for UK mortgages, following strong credit performance in the year.

The table below shows the impact on the Group's ECL resulting from a 1 percentage point increase or decrease in

the UK unemployment rate. The increase or decrease is presented based on the adjustment phased evenly over the

first 10 quarters of all four scenarios. A more immediate increase or decrease would drive a more material ECL

impact as it would be fully reflected in both 12-month and lifetime probability of defaults.

<sup>1</sup>For 2025, impacts are assessed as changes to probability-weighted modelled ECL inclusive of the impacts upon staging of

assets, excluding post model adjustments. The comparative period has been represented on a consistent basis.

The table below shows the impact on the Group's ECL in respect of UK mortgages of an increase or decrease in loss

given default for a 10 percentage point increase or decrease in HPI. The increase or decrease is presented based on

the adjustment phased evenly over the first 10 quarters of all four scenarios.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK** (continued)

**Retail**

• The Retail portfolio has continued to deliver strong credit performance in 2025 and remains well positioned

despite macroeconomic headwinds. Consumers continue to show strength in the context of inflationary

pressures

• Robust risk management remains firmly embedded, underpinned by strong affordability and indebtedness

controls for lending and a prudent risk appetite approach. Lending strategies are assessed regularly and are

calibrated to reflect the latest macroeconomic conditions

• In UK mortgages, new to arrears and flow to default rates have improved during 2025,while in the unsecured

portfolios and UK Motor Finance, new to arrears and flows to default have remained low and stable

• The Retail impairment charge in 2025 was £734 million, higher than the £457 million charge for 2024 which

benefitted from a large release of £332 million from improvements in the Group's macroeconomic outlook.

Excluding macroeconomic updates, the impairment charge is slightly lower than 2024 due to continued stability

in flows to default with additional write-backs from model refinements

• Retail customer related ECL allowance as a percentage of drawn loans and advances (coverage) has reduced to

0.6% (31 December 2024: 0.7%)

• Strong credit performance and higher portfolio balances have reduced Stage 2 loans and advances to 9.5% of

the Retail portfolio (31 December 2024: 10.6%). Stage 2 ECL coverage reduced to 2.3% (31 December 2024:

2.4%)

• Stable and low flows to default and higher portfolio balances have also resulted in a reduction in Retail Stage 3

loans and advances to1.2% of total loans and advances (31 December 2024: 1.3%)

• Stage 3 ECL coverage reduced to13.8% (31 December 2024: 14.3%), largely due to continued house price

increases

*UK mortgages*

• The UK mortgages portfolio increased to £323.8 billion (31 December 2024: £313.1 billion), driven by sustained

customer demand

• New to arrears in the UK mortgages portfolio improved during 2025. The portfolio remains well positioned with a

strong loan to value (LTV) profile. Portfolio quality improved during the year, supported by robust affordability

and credit controls with higher risk legacy vintage balances continuing to reduce

• The impairment credit of £60 million for 2025 is lower than the credit of £194million in 2024. Both years

included favourable updates to the macroeconomic outlook, predominately via continued growth in house

prices, however this benefit was more material in 2024. Excluding macroeconomic updates, the impairment

charge is favourable year-on-year due to improving flow to default rates

• Stage 2 loans and advances have reduced to9.4% of total UK mortgages balances (31 December 2024: 10.5%)

following the removal of non-modelled adjustments previously applied to UK Bank Rate and CPI inflation in the

severe downside scenario, combined with strong credit performance and higher portfolio balances

• Continued strong credit performance and higher portfolio balances also resulted in a reduction in Stage 3 loans

and advances to1.2% (31 December 2024: 1.3%), with continued growth in house prices resulting in a reduction in

Stage 3 ECL coverage to 7.7% (31 December 2024:8.0%)

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK** (continued)

*Credit cards* 

• Credit card balances increased to £17.9 billion (2024: £16.2billion), driven by higher demand for new cards

and increased customer spending

• The credit card portfolio is a prime book. New to arrears continue to be low and repayment rates remain strong

• The impairment charge of £321 million for 2025 is higher than the charge of £270 million in 2024, due to updates

to the Group's macroeconomic outlook, notably upwards revisions to the unemployment forecast, compared to

favourable updates in 2024. Portfolio performance remained stable with additional write-backs from model

refinements related to loss rates, and an unsecured debt sale completed in the fourth quarter. Total ECL

coverage is lower at3.4% (31 December 2024:4.2%)

• Stable credit performance and higher portfolio balances resulted in a reduction in Stage 2 loans and advances to

13.0% of total credit card balances (31 December 2024: 15.0%), with lower Stage 2 ECL coverage at11.9% (31

December 2024: 13.6%)

• Similarly, Stage 3 loans and advances reduced slightly to 1.5% (31 December 2024:1.6%) with model refinements

also contributing to reduce Stage 3 ECL coverage to 44.2% (31 December 2024:50.2%)

*UK unsecured loans and overdrafts*

• UK unsecured loans and overdraft balances increased to £12.2billion (2024: £10.7billion) driven by organic

balance growth and lower repayments

• The impairment charge of £257 million for 2025 is lower than the charge of £272 million for 2024, largely due to

loss rate model refinements. ECL and coverage are both lower at a total level and across all stages

• Strong credit performance and higher portfolio balances within unsecured loans resulted in a slight reduction in

Stage 2 loans and advances to11.5% of total balances (31 December 2024: 11.6%), with Stage 2 ECL coverage

lower at 15.3% (31 December 2024: 18.8%)

• Similarly, Stage 3 loans and advances remained stable at1.6% (31 December 2024: 1.6%), with model refinements

also contributing to reduce Stage 3 ECL coverage to 58.0% (31 December 2024: 67.4%)

*UK Motor Finance*

• UK Motor Finance balances (which exclude operating leases) increased to £17.1 billion(2024: £16.4 billion), driven

by retail demand, alongside increased stocking

• Updates to Residual Value (RV) and Voluntary Termination (VT) provisions held against Personal Contract

Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP) lending are included within ECL and the impairment charge. Volatility in

used vehicle values have primarily driven an ECL increase to £243 million as at 31 December 2025 (31 December

2024: £178million)

• The impairment charge of £212 million for 2025 is higher than the charge of £116million for 2024, reflecting

increased RV and VT charges year-on-year. Increased RV and VT provisions drove increases to Stage 2 ECL

coverage to 5.3% (31 December 2024: 4.8%), with Stage 2 loans and advances increasing slightly to16.2% (31

December 2024: 14.6%)

• Stage 3 loans and advances remained stable at0.8% (31 December 2024: 0.8%), with Stage 3 ECL coverage

reducing slightly to 56.0% (31 December 2024: 58.1%)

*Other*

• Other Retail loans and advances increased to £21.8billion (31 December 2024: £18.0 billion), largely driven by

growth in the European business

• Stage 2 loans and advances reduced to 1.8% (31 December 2024: 2.9%), due to higher portfolio balances, with

coverage across stages broadly stable. Stage 3 loans and advances remained stable at0.7% of total loans and

advances (31 December 2024: 0.8%)

• There was a £4 million impairment charge in 2025, compared to a £7 million credit in 2024

**Commercial Banking**

• Portfolio credit performance remained strong. The Group continues to monitor external developments and their

impact upon the macroeconomic climate generally and also on specific sectors within the portfolio

• Credit strategies and policy remain robust, and within risk appetite tolerances. The Group remains focused on

credit underwriting and monitoring standards, and proactively managing higher risk and cyclical sector exposures

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**CREDIT RISK** (continued)

**Commercial Banking**(continued)

• The Group continues to review segments of portfolios as appropriate, ensuring credit strategies, appetite,

sensitivities and mitigation action plans are up-to-date and suitable for rapid action in response to both risks and

opportunities, whilst supporting clients in the right way and ensuring the Group is protected

• Credit playbooks, covering a range of potential credit downside scenarios, are maintained and refreshed as

conditions evolve. Early warning indicators and risk appetite metrics are tracked and provide timely insight to

enable proactive action where appropriate

• The Group continues to provide early support to customers in difficulty through focused risk management via its

Watchlist and Business Support framework. The approach balances prudent risk appetite with ensuring support

for financially viable clients, reinforcing the Group's commitment to resilience and responsible client

management

• Commercial Banking UK Real Estate committed drawn lending grew by £0.7 billion to £10.0 billion in 2025 (net

of £2.6billion exposures subject to protection through significant risk transfer (SRT) securitisations).

Performance has remained strong and stable within this sector, with a decrease in cases in its Watchlist category

and limited flow into Business Support

• The net impairment charge in 2025 was £60million, versus a credit of £14 million in 2024 and includes a

£74 million charge from the updated macroeconomic outlook, including a judgemental adjustment in respect of

global tariff and geo-political disruption risks. Excluding macroeconomic updates, a small number of single name

charges were observed in the first half of the year, largely isolated to a single sector and not representative of

trends across the portfolio. This has been offset by releases from Stage 1 and Stage 2 provisions capturing strong

credit performance and reducing interest rates throughout the year

• ECL allowances decreased in the year to £883 million in 2025 (31 December 2024: £985 million), also as a result

of favourable model updates partially offset by single name cases

• Stage 2 loans and advances increased to £5,364 million (31 December 2024: £5,168 million). Stage 2 as a

proportion of total loans and advances to customers is stable at 5.9% (31 December 2024: 5.8%) with stable

credit performance and model updates resulting in lower Stage 2 ECL coverage at 5.6% (31 December 2024:

6.1%)

• Stage 3 loans and advances decreased to £1,757 million (31 December 2024: £1,839 million) and as a proportion

of total loans and advances to customers to 1.9% (31 December 2024: 2.1%), given movements in the first half of

2025. Stage 3 ECL coverage is lower at 21.8% (31 December 2024: 22.6%)

*Business and Commercial Banking*

• Business and Commercial Banking lending reduced to £28.7 billion(31 December 2024: £30.2 billion), driven by

government-backed lending repayments. Excluding these, the lending portfolio grew in the year

• A net impairment credit of £53 million in 2025 compares to a charge of £47 million in 2024, driven by improved

expectations for accounts in recoveries alongside continued strong credit performance

• Stage 2 loans and advances increased to £3,329 million (31 December 2024: £3,172 million). Stage 2 as a

proportion of total loans and advances to customers increased to 11.6% (31 December 2024: 10.5%), while

Stage 2 ECL coverage decreased to 5.0% (31 December 2024: 5.9%) following model updates

• Stage 3 loans and advances decreased to £979 million (31 December 2024: £1,197 million), primarily driven by

repayments and reduced to 3.4% (31 December 2024: 4.0%) as a proportion of total loans and advances. Stage 3

ECL coverage reduced to 12.3% (31 December 2024: 13.9%)

*Corporate and Institutional Banking*

• Corporate and Institutional lending grew to £62.5 billion (31 December 2024: £58.3 billion), reflecting growth in

Institutional balances including securitised products, alongside corporate infrastructure growth

• A net impairment charge of £113 million in 2025 compares to an impairment credit of £61 million in 2024, driven

by a small number of single name charges, primarily in the first half of the year

• Stage 2 loans and advances increased to £2,035 million (31 December 2024: £1,996 million). Stage 2 as a

proportion of total loans and advances to customers is stable at 3.3% (31 December 2024: 3.4%), with Stage 2

ECL coverage at 6.7%(31 December 2024: 6.5%)

• Stage 3 loans and advances increased to £778 million (31 December 2024: £642 million) and as a proportion of

total loans and advances to customers to 1.2% (31 December 2024: 1.1%), driven by a small number of single name

transfers to Stage 3, mainly in the first half of the year. Stage 3 ECL coverage decreased to 33.8% (31 December

**CREDIT RISK**(continued)

**Base case and MES economic assumptions**

The Group's base case economic scenario has been updated to reflect global developments and changes in

domestic economic policy. The Group's updated base case scenario has the following conditioning assumptions.

First, developments in global conflicts, technology or financial sector issues do not cause a significant degree of

financial market volatility. Second, the US effective tariff rate is maintained at levels prevailing at the balance

sheet date pending a switch to a sector-based tariff framework. Third, the UK's macroeconomic framework for

monetary and fiscal policy remains in place, alongside broader continuity on other areas of government policy.

Based on these assumptions and incorporating the economic data published for the third 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, modest further reductions in UK Bank Rate are expected to continue in

2026. 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

fourth 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 of the Group's 2024 annual report and accounts. Since 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.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC 2025 RESULTS

**LIQUIDITY RISK**

**Overview**

The Group has maintained its strong funding and liquidity position. Total wholesale funding has increased to

£99.4 billion as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £92.5 billion). The Group maintains access to diverse

sources and tenors of funding.

The Group's liquid assets continue to exceed the regulatory minimum and internal risk appetite, with a liquidity

coverage ratio (LCR)<sup>1</sup> of 145% as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 146%) calculated on a Group

consolidated basis based on the PRA rulebook. The decrease in the LCR resulted from a reduction in liquid assets,

from an increase in lending and repayments of Bank of England Term Funding Scheme with additional incentives

for SMEs (TFSME) partially offset by an increase in customer deposits, and a decrease in net cash outflows,

primarily from a reduction in outflows related to derivative exposures arising from historic market volatility. All

assets within the liquid asset portfolio are hedged for interest rate risk. Following the implementation of structural

reform, liquidity risk is managed at a legal entity level with the Group consolidated LCR representing the

composite of the Ring-Fenced Bank and Non-Ring-Fenced Bank entities.

LCR eligible assets<sup>1</sup> have reduced to £131.4 billion (31 December 2024: £134.4 billion), primarily driven by an

increase in lending and TFSME repayments, partially offset by an increase in customer deposits. In addition to the

Group's reported LCR eligible assets, the Group maintains borrowing capacity at central banks which averaged

£87 billion in the year to 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £72 billion). The net stable funding ratio remains

strong at 124% (calculated as a quarterly simple average over the previous four quarters) as at 31 December 2025

(31 December 2024: 129%).

LCR eligible assets comprise £125.8 billion LCR level 1 eligible assets (31 December 2024: £128.5 billion) and

£5.6billion LCR level 2 eligible assets (31 December 2024: £5.9 billion). These assets are available to meet cash and

collateral outflows and regulatory requirements. The Insurance business manages a separate liquidity portfolio to

mitigate insurance liquidity risk.

The banking business also has a significant amount of non-LCR eligible liquid assets which are eligible for use in a

range of central bank or similar facilities. Future use of such facilities will be based on prudent liquidity

management and economic considerations, having regard to external market conditions.

During 2025, the Group accessed wholesale funding across a range of currencies and markets with term issuance

volumes totalling £13.8 billion. The total outstanding amount of drawings from the TFSME has reduced to

£8.8 billion as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £21.9 billion), with further maturities in 2027 and beyond.

The repayment of TFSME maturities has been factored into the Group's funding plans.

The Group's credit ratings are well positioned and continue to reflect the strength of the Group's management and

franchise, along with its robust financial performance, capital and funding position. In September 2025, S&P

upgraded the Group's issuer credit rating by one notch.

<sup>1</sup>Based on a monthly simple average over the previous 12 months.

<sup>1</sup>The Group enters into derivatives and repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with various counterparties which are

governed by industry standard master netting agreements. The Group holds cash collateral on its balance sheet in respect of

these agreements. At 31 December 2025, £2.0 billion (31 December 2024: £3.2 billion) was with bank counterparties, of which

£1.5 billion (31 December 2024: £2.8 billion) relates primarily to the Global Markets business of Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets

plc, whilst £0.5 billion (31 December 2024: £0.4 billion) relates to the Insurance business.

**INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY**

The Group manages the risk to its earnings and capital from movements in interest rates centrally by hedging the

net liabilities which are stable or less sensitive to movements in rates. The notional balance of the sterling

structural hedge stood at £244 billion at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £242 billion).

**Illustrative cumulative impact of parallel shifts in interest rate curve**<sup>1</sup>

The table below shows the banking book net interest income sensitivity to an instantaneous parallel shift in

interest rates. Sensitivities reflect shifts in the interest rate curve. The actual impact will also depend on the

prevailing regulatory and competitive environment at the time. This sensitivity is illustrative and does not reflect

new business margin implications and/or pricing actions today or in future periods, other than as outlined. The

sensitivity is greater on downward parallel shifts due to pricing lags on deposit accounts.

The following assumptions have been applied:

• Instantaneous parallel shift in interest rate curve, including UK Bank Rate

• Balance sheet remains constant

• Illustrative 50% pass-through on deposits and 100% pass-through on assets, which could be different in practice

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies**

These condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the year to 31 December 2025 comprise the

results of Lloyds Banking Group plc (the Company) together with its subsidiaries (the Group). They do not include

all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the

Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 which were prepared in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB. Copies of the 2025

annual report on Form 20-F will be available from 18 February 2026, via the Group's website.

The directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial

statements. In reaching this assessment, the directors have considered the Group's capital and funding position,

the impact of climate change upon the Group's future performance and the results from stress testing scenarios.

The Group's accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Group in its financial statements for the

year ended 31 December 2024 and there have been no changes in the Group's methods of computation.

Net investment return on assets held to back insurance and investment contracts, previously shown within net

trading income, is presented separately on the face of the income statement. Net finance expense in respect of

insurance and investment contracts, previously shown outside total income in the income statement, is included

within other income as part of total income. This change has been made to represent more clearly the impact of

the Group's insurance business on the results. Comparative periods are represented on a consistent basis.

**Note 2: Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**

The preparation of the Group's financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires

management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying the accounting policies that affect the

reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making estimates,

actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts which differ from these estimates. Estimates,

judgements and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,

including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In preparing

these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has considered the impact of climate-related risks

on its financial position and performance. While the effects of climate change represent a source of uncertainty,

the Group does not consider there to be a material impact on its judgements and estimates from the physical,

transition and other climate-related risks in the short-term.

The critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty made by management in applying

the Group's accounting policies are unchanged from 31 December 2024 and are set out in full in the Group's 2024

annual report and accounts.

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** (continued)

**Note 3: Provisions**

**Regulatory and legal provisions**

In the course of its business, the Group is engaged on a regular basis in discussions with UK and overseas regulators

and other governmental authorities on a range of matters, including legal and regulatory reviews and, from time to

time, enforcement investigations (including in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, such as

those relating to prudential regulation, consumer protection, investment advice, employment, business conduct,

systems and controls, environmental, sustainability, competition/anti-trust, tax, anti-bribery, anti-money

laundering and sanctions). Any matters discussed or identified during such discussions and inquiries may result in,

among other things, further inquiry or investigation, other action being taken by governmental and/or regulatory

authorities, increased costs being incurred by the Group, remediation of systems and controls, public or private

censure, restriction of the Group's business activities and/or fines. The Group also receives complaints and pre-

action correspondence in connection with its past conduct and claims brought or threatened by or on behalf of

current and former employees, customers (including their appointed representatives), investors and other third

parties and is subject to legal proceedings and other legal actions from time to time. Any of these matters, events

or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, operations or cash flows.

Provisions are held where the Group can reliably estimate a probable outflow of economic resources. The ultimate

liability of the Group may be significantly more, or less, than the amount of any provision recognised. If the Group

is unable to determine a reliable estimate, a contingent liability is disclosed. The recognition of a provision does not

amount to an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Group. During the full year to 31 December

2025 the Group charged a further £968 million in respect of legal actions and other regulatory matters and the

unutilised balance at 31 December 2025 was £2,276 million (31 December 2024: £1,600 million). The most

significant items are outlined below.

*Motor commission review*

The Group recognised a further £800 million provision in the third quarter of 2025 following the FCA's

announcement in October 2025 that it intends to implement a motor finance commission redress scheme. As at 31

December 2025, the total provision recognised is £1,950 million.

The Supreme Court judgment in Johnson v FirstRand Bank Limited in August 2025 found that there was an unfair

relationship under s.140A of the Consumer Credit Act (CCA). Following the Supreme Court judgment, the FCA

published Consultation Paper CP25/27 in October 2025 setting out detailed proposals for a scheme (including their

proposed basis) to redress unfair customer relationships.

The increased provision reflects the increased likelihood of a higher number of scheme cases (i.e. discretionary

commission arrangements, commercial tie or high commission arrangements) being eligible for redress, including

those dating back to 2007 and also the likelihood of a higher level of redress than anticipated in the previous

scenario-based provision; the FCA's proposed redress calculation approach is less closely linked to customer loss

than previously anticipated.The Group has made representations to the FCA on a number of aspects of the

proposed scheme.

On 3 December 2025, the FCA announced that the pause on motor finance complaints handling would be lifted on

31 May 2026 for complaints made in relation to the subject matter of the scheme, and that this timeline may be

superseded in due course by the operational timetable to be set out in the final scheme rules. The FCA also lifted

the pause on handling motor finance complaints in respect of leasing products on 5 December 2025. The Group

continues to receive new complaints as well as claims in the County Courts in respect of motor finance

commissions. A large number of those claims have been stayed, as has a claim in the Competition Appeal Tribunal.

In April 2026, the Court of Appeal is expected to consider whether, in the context of motor finance claims, it is

possible for multiple unfair relationship claims to be dealt with via one omnibus claim form.

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** (continued)

**Note 3: Provisions**(continued)

*Motor commission review*(continued)

In establishing the provision estimate, the Group has considered the potential impact of the FCA's proposed

redress scheme, as well as a number of possible modifications to the scheme which might arise as a result of the

consultation. The Group will continue to assess developments and potential impacts following the announcement

by the FCA of the final scheme rules, which are expected by the end of March 2026. The ultimate financial impact

will be determined by a number of factors still to be resolved, in particular the final scheme rules, customer

response rates, scheme operating costs, any further interventions and any broader implications of legal

proceedings and complaints. Given the significant level of uncertainty in terms of the final outcome, the ultimate

financial impact could materially differ from the amount provided. The total £1,950 million provision represents

the Group's current best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance issue.

*HBOS Reading – review*

The Group continues to apply the recommendations from Sir Ross Cranston's review, issued in December 2019,

including a reassessment of direct and consequential losses by an independent panel (the Foskett Panel), an

extension of debt relief and a wider definition of de facto directors. The Foskett Panel's full scope and

methodology was published on 7 July 2020. The Foskett Panel's stated objective is to consider cases via a non-

legalistic and fair process and to make its decisions in a generous, fair and common sense manner, assessing claims

against an expanded definition of the fraud and on a lower evidential basis.

In June 2022, the Foskett Panel announced an alternative option, in the form of a fixed sum award which could be

accepted as an alternative to participation in the full re-review process, to support earlier resolution of claims for

those deemed by the Foskett Panel to be victims of the fraud.

All of the population have now had an initial decision, with a small number of the populations' challenges to the

Panel's initial decision ongoing through the published process, with operational costs, redress and tax costs

associated with the re-reviews recognised within the amount provided.

Notwithstanding the settled claims and the increase in outcomes which builds confidence in the full estimated

cost, uncertainties remain and the final outcome could be different. There is no confirmed timeline for the

completion of the re-review process nor the separate review by Dame Linda Dobbs. The Group remains committed

to implementing the recommendations in full.

*Payment protection insurance (PPI)*

The Group continues to challenge PPI litigation cases, with mainly operational costs and legal fees associated with

litigation activity recognised within regulatory and legal provisions.

*Customer claims in relation to insurance branch business in Germany*

The Group continues to receive claims from customers in Germany relating to policies issued by Clerical Medical

Investment Group Limited (subsequently renamed Scottish Widows Limited), with smaller numbers of claims

received from customers in Austria and Italy. Operational costs, redress and legal fees associated with the claims

are recognised within regulatory and legal provisions.

**Note 4: Dividends on ordinary shares and share buyback**

The directors have recommended a final dividend, which is subject to approval by the shareholders at the annual

general meeting on 14 May 2026, of 2.43 pence per ordinary share (2024: 2.11 pence per ordinary share). This is

equivalent to £1,429 million, before the impact of any cancellations of shares under the Company's buyback

programme (2024: £1,271 million, following cancellations of shares under the Company's 2025 buyback programme

up to the record date), and will be paid on 19 May 2026. These financial statements do not reflect the

recommended dividend.Shareholders who have already joined the dividend reinvestment plan will automatically

receive shares instead of the cash dividend.

*Share buyback*

The Board has announced its intention to implement an ordinary share buyback of up to £1.75 billion. This

represents the return of capital, over and above the Board's view of the current level of capital required to grow

the business, meet current and future regulatory requirements and cover uncertainties. The share buyback

programme will commence as soon as is practicable and is expected to be completed, subject to continued

authority from the PRA, by 31 December 2026.

**Note 5: Contingent liabilities**

**Interchange fees**

With respect to multi-lateral interchange fees (MIFs), the Group is not a party in the ongoing or threatened

litigation which involves the card schemes Visa and Mastercard or any settlements of such litigation. However, the

Group is a member/licensee of Visa and Mastercard and other card schemes.

Litigation has been brought by or on behalf of retailers against both Visa and Mastercard in the English Courts, in

which retailers are seeking damages on grounds that Visa and Mastercard's MIFs breached competition law. This

includes a final judgment of the Supreme Court in 2020 that certain historic interchange arrangements of

Mastercard and Visa infringed competition law and a subsequent judgment of the Competition Appeal Tribunal in

June 2025 finding that all default interchange fee rules of Mastercard and Visa (including after the Interchange Fee

Regulation) infringed competition law.

Separate litigation was brought on behalf of UK consumers in the English Courts against Mastercard (settlement of

which was approved by the Competition Appeal Tribunal in the first half of 2025).

Any impact on the Group of the litigation against Visa and Mastercard remains uncertain at this time, such that it is

not practicable for the Group to provide an estimate of any potential financial effect. Insofar as Visa is required to

pay damages to retailers for interchange fees set prior to June 2016, contractual arrangements to allocate liability

have been agreed between various UK banks (including the Group) and Visa Inc, as part of Visa Inc's acquisition of

Visa Europe in 2016. These arrangements cap the maximum amount of liability to which the Group may be subject

and this cap is set at the cash consideration received by the Group for the sale of its stake in Visa Europe to Visa

Inc in 2016. In 2016, the Group received Visa preference shares as part of the consideration for the sale of its shares

in Visa Europe. A release assessment is carried out by Visa on certain anniversaries of the sale (in line with the Visa

Europe sale documentation) and as a result, some Visa preference shares may be converted into Visa Inc Class A

common stock from time to time. Any such releases and any subsequent sales of Visa common stock do not impact

the contingent liability.

**LIBOR and other trading rates** 

Certain Group companies, together with other panel banks, were previously named as defendants in private

lawsuits in the US in connection with their roles as panel banks contributing to the setting of US dollar, Japanese

yen and Sterling London Interbank Offered Rate. Certain Group company dismissals from these lawsuits remain

subject to appeal.

Certain Group companies are also named as defendants in two Dutch class actions, raising LIBOR manipulation

allegations and one English claim relating to the alleged mis-sale of interest rate hedging products which also

includes an allegation of LIBOR manipulation.

It is currently not possible to predict the scope and ultimate outcome on the Group of any private lawsuits. As

such, it is not practicable to provide an estimate of any potential financial effect.

**Tax authorities**

The Group has an open matter in relation to a claim for group relief of losses incurred in its former Irish banking

subsidiary, which ceased trading on 31 December 2010. In 2020, HMRC concluded its enquiry into the matter and

issued a closure notice denying the group relief claim. The Group appealed to the First Tier Tax Tribunal. The

hearing took place in May 2023. In January 2025, the First Tier Tribunal concluded in favour of HMRC. The Group

believes it has applied the rules correctly and that the claim for group relief is correct. Having reviewed the

Tribunal's conclusions and having taken appropriate advice the Group has appealed to the Upper Tier Tax

Tribunal, and does not consider this to be a case where an additional tax liability will ultimately fall due. If the final

determination of the matter by the judicial process is that HMRC's position is correct, management believes that

this would result in an increase in current tax liabilities of approximately £980 million (including interest) and a

reduction in the Group's deferred tax asset of approximately £270 million. Following the First Tier Tax Tribunal

outcome, the tax has been paid to HMRC and recognised as a current tax asset, given the Group's view that the

tax liability will not ultimately fall due. The appeal has been listed for hearing in March 2027, however final

conclusion of the judicial process may not be for several years.

There are a number of other open matters on which the Group is in discussions with HMRC (including the tax

treatment of costs relating to HBOS Reading), none of which is expected to have a material impact on the

financial position of the Group.

**Note 5: Contingent liabilities** (continued)

**Arena and Sentinel litigation claims**

The Group is facing claims brought by (i) Arena Television Limited and Arena Holdings Limited and (ii) Sentinel

Broadcast Limited, alleging breach of duty and/or mandate in connection with an external fraud. The Group is

continuing to defend the claims and has applied for permission to appeal the Court's decision not to determine a

central legal issue on a summary basis. At this stage, it is not practicable to estimate the final outcome of the

matter and its financial impact (if any) to the Group.

**Other legal actions and regulatory matters**

In addition, in the course of its business the Group is subject to other complaints and threatened or actual legal

proceedings (including class or group actions) brought by or on behalf of current or former employees, customers

(including their appointed representatives), investors or other third parties, as well as legal and regulatory reviews,

enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, challenges, investigations and enforcement actions,

which could relate to a number of issues. This includes matters in relation to compliance with applicable laws and

regulations, such as those relating to prudential regulation, employment, consumer protection, investment advice,

business conduct, systems and controls, environmental, sustainability, competition/anti-trust, tax, anti-bribery,

anti-money laundering and sanctions, some of which may be beyond the Group's control, both in the UK and

overseas. Where material, such matters are periodically reassessed, with the assistance of external professional

advisers where appropriate, to determine the likelihood of the Group incurring a liability. The Group does not

currently expect the final outcome of any such case to have a material adverse effect on its financial position,

operations or cash flows. Where there is a contingent liability related to an existing provision the relevant

disclosures are included within note 3.
