Use of alternative performance 
 measures 
 

Our reported results are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as detailed in the interim condensed financial statements starting on page 104.

To measure our performance, we supplement our IFRSs figures with non-IFRSs measures, which constitute alternative performance measures under European Securities and Markets Authority guidance and non-GAAP financial measures defined in and presented in accordance with US Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These measures include those derived from our reported results that eliminate factors that distort period-on-period comparisons. The 'adjusted performance' measure used throughout this report is described below. Definitions and calculations of other alternative performance measures are included in our 'Reconciliation of alternative performance measures' on page 56. All alternative performance measures are reconciled to the closest reported performance measure.

The global business segmental results are presented on an adjusted basis in accordance with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' as detailed in Note 5: 'Segmental analysis' on page 112.

Adjusted performance

Adjusted performance is computed by adjusting reported results for the effects of foreign currency translation differences and significant items, which distort period-on-period comparisons.

We consider adjusted performance provides useful information for investors by aligning internal and external reporting, identifying and quantifying items management believes to be significant, and providing insight into how management assesses period-on-period performance.

Significant items

'Significant items' refers collectively to the items that management and investors would ordinarily identify and consider separately to improve the understanding of the underlying trends in the business.

The tables on pages 37 to 39 and pages 48 to 53 detail the effects of significant items on each of our global business segments, geographical regions and selected countries/territories in 1H22, 1H21 and 2H21.

Foreign currency translation differences

Foreign currency translation differences reflect the movements of the US dollar against most major currencies during 2022.

We exclude them to derive constant currency data, allowing us to assess balance sheet and income statement performance on a like-for-like basis and to better understand the underlying trends in the business.

 
Foreign currency translation differences 
 Foreign currency translation differences 
 for the half-year to 30 June 2022 
 are computed by retranslating into 
 US dollars for non-US dollar branches, 
 subsidiaries, joint ventures and 
 associates: 
  *    the income statements for the half-years to 30 June 
       2021 and 31 December 2021 at the average rates of 
       exchange for the half-year to 30 June 2022; and 
 
 
  *    the balance sheets at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 
       2021 at the prevailing rates of exchange on 30 June 
       2022. 
 
 
 No adjustment has been made to the 
 exchange rates used to translate 
 foreign currency-denominated assets 
 and liabilities into the functional 
 currencies of any HSBC branches, 
 subsidiaries, joint ventures or 
 associates. The constant currency 
 data of HSBC's Argentina subsidiaries 
 have not been adjusted further for 
 the impacts of hyperinflation. Since 
 1 June 2022, Turkey has been deemed 
 a hyperinflationary economy for 
 accounting purposes. HSBC has an 
 operating entity in Turkey and the 
 constant currency data has not been 
 adjusted further for the impacts 
 of hyperinflation. When reference 
 is made to foreign currency translation 
 differences in tables or commentaries, 
 comparative data reported in the 
 functional currencies of HSBC's 
 operations have been translated 
 at the appropriate exchange rates 
 applied in the current period on 
 the basis described above.

Application of IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies'

Since 1 June 2022, Turkey has been deemed a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. The results of HSBC's operations with a functional currency of the Turkish lira have been prepared in accordance with IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies' as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary. The results of those operations for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 are stated in terms of current purchasing power using the Turkey consumer price index at 30 June 2022 with the corresponding adjustment presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 2Q22. In accordance with IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates', the results have been translated and presented in US dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on 30 June 2022. The Group's comparative information presented in US dollars with respect to the six-month periods ended 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 has not been restated. The impact of applying IAS 29 and the hyperinflation provisions of IAS 21 in the current period was a decrease in the Group's profit before tax of $114m, comprising a decrease in revenue of $113m and an increase in ECL and operating expenses of $1m.

 
Future accounting developments 
 

IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'

IFRS 17 will be effective from 1 January 2023, with comparatives restated from 1 January 2022. The standard sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in accounting for insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds, and applies retrospectively. The main changes arising from IFRS 17 are the removal of the present value of in-force long-term insurance business ('PVIF') asset in respect of unearned profits, the recognition of a contractual service margin ('CSM') liability, the measurement of insurance liabilities, and the redesignation of financial assets held to support insurance liabilities currently measured at amortised cost, to fair value under IFRS 9. All of these impacts will be subject to deferred tax.

The Group continues to make progress on the implementation of IFRS 17 with accounting policies, data and models in place, with focus now on finalising the opening balance sheet and rehearsing our operational readiness. However, industry practice and interpretation of aspects of the standard are still evolving, and there remains uncertainty around the likely financial impact of its implementation. As previously guided, our preliminary management estimate of the impact of applying IFRS 17, compared with our current accounting policies for insurance contracts, is an approximate two-third reduction in total equity of our insurance operations at 1 January 2022. Work is ongoing to estimate the impact on the 2022 income statement, which will form the basis for comparative period results following the adoption of the standard in 2023. This estimate is expected to be communicated through an update, to be provided towards the end of 2022, to our previously communicated planning assumption of a reduction in profitability of approximately two-thirds, albeit within a range of expected outcomes.

1 Gross interest yield is the average annualised interest rate earned on average interest-earning assets ('AIEA'). Gross interest payable is the average annualised interest cost as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities.

2 Net interest spread is the difference between the average annualised interest rate earned on AIEA, net of amortised premiums and loan fees, and the average annualised interest rate payable on average interest-bearing funds.

   3     Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as an annualised percentage of AIEA.

   1     Including interest-bearing bank deposits only. 
   2     Including interest-bearing customer accounts only. 

Net interest income ('NII') for 1H22 was $14.5bn, an increase of $1.4bn or 10.3% compared with 1H21. This reflected higher average market interest rates across the major currencies compared with 1H21.

Excluding the unfavourable impacts of significant items and foreign currency translation differences, NII increased by $1.9bn or 15.3%.

NII for 2Q22 was $7.5bn, up 13.2% year-on-year, and 6.5% compared with the previous quarter. This was driven by the impact of higher market interest rates across major currencies, particularly in Europe and North America. The increase was driven by higher asset yields, particularly on customer term lending, short-term funds and loans and advances to banks, as well as on reverse repurchase agreements. This was partly offset by higher funding costs, in particular for customer deposits, debt securities and repurchase agreements.

Net interest margin ('NIM') of 1.30% was 9 basis points ('bps') higher compared with 1H21, as the rise in the yield on AIEA of 23bps was partly offset by the rise in the funding cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of 17bps. The increase in NIM in 1H22 included the unfavourable impacts of significant items and foreign currency translation differences. Excluding this, NIM increased by 11bps.

NIM for 2Q22 was 1.35%, up 15bps year-on-year, and up 9bps compared with the previous quarter, predominantly driven by the impact of higher market interest rates.

Interest income of $20.9bn increased by $2.9bn or 16%, primarily due to higher average interest rates compared with 1H21, as the yield on AIEA increased by 23bps. This was caused by the increase in market interest rates, partly offset by unfavourable changes in balance sheet mix, as balances of low-yielding assets, particularly short-term funds and loans and advances to banks, increased by $37bn and reverse repurchase agreements increased by $27bn, while the balances of high-yielding assets, particularly customer term lending in the loans and advances to customer category, declined by $24bn. The change in interest income included $32.1m in relation to the unfavourable impact of significant items and $743m from the adverse effects of foreign currency translation. Excluding these, interest income increased by $3.7bn.

Interest income of $11.2bn in 2Q22 was up $2.2bn year-on-year, and up $1.5bn from the previous quarter. This was predominantly driven by the impact of higher market interest rates, partly offset by an unfavourable change in the balance sheet mix as balances in low-yielding assets increased, while balances in high-yielding assets declined. Compared with the previous year, balances in low-yielding reverse repurchase agreements increased by $34bn, whereas higher-yielding customer term lending balances declined by $23bn.

Interest expense of $6.4bn increased by $1.5bn or 32% compared with 1H21. This reflected the increase in funding costs by 17bps, mainly arising from higher interest rates paid on interest-bearing customer accounts, repurchase agreements and debt securities in issue. This was partly offset by a reduction in interest expense attributable to reduced balances of high-costing subordinated debt, which declined by $12bn. The change in interest expense included the favourable effects of foreign currency translation differences of $0.2bn. Excluding this, interest expense increased by $1.7bn.

Interest expense of $3.7bn in 2Q22 was up $1.3bn year-on-year, and up $1.1bn compared with the previous quarter. This was predominantly driven by the impact of higher market interest rates.

Net fee income of $6.1bn was $0.6bn lower than in 1H21, and included a $0.2bn adverse impact from currency translation. The fall in net fee income was in WPB and GBM, although it rose in CMB.

In WPB, the reduction in fee income was mainly in Wealth, particularly in broking and unit trusts in Hong Kong, reflecting weaker equity markets due to muted customer sentiment. Covid-19-related restrictions in Hong Kong in 1Q22 also resulted in temporary branch network closures. These reductions were partly offset by higher cards income, notably in the UK, as customer spending increased. The growth in cards activity resulted in a rise in fee expense.

In GBM, a reduction in fee income was driven by lower underwriting fees, as market activity fell due to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war and wider macroeconomic uncertainty. This compared with a strong 1H21 when corporates raised finance as initial Covid-19 restrictions were eased.

In CMB, fee income increased from account services and credit cards as customer activity increased, as well as from trade products, as global trade volumes recovered compared with 1H21.

Net income from financial instruments held for trading or managed on a fair value basis of $4.9bn was $0.7bn higher. The increase was driven by GBM, as higher market volatility supported a strong performance within Global Foreign Exchange.

This was partly offset by adverse fair value movements on non-qualifying hedges of $0.2bn.

Net expense from assets and liabilities of insurance businesses, including related derivatives, measured at fair value through profit or loss of $3.1bn compared with a net income of $2.8bn in 1H21. This decrease primarily reflected adverse equity market performances in Hong Kong and France.

This adverse movement resulted in a corresponding movement in liabilities to policyholders and the present value of in-force long-term insurance business ('PVIF') (see 'Other operating income' below). This reflected the extent to which the policyholders and shareholders respectively participate in the investment performance of the associated asset portfolios.

Changes in fair value of other financial instruments mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss of $0.1bn were $0.5bn lower compared with 1H21. This included lower revaluation gains in Principal Investments. It also included revaluation losses on other financial assets due to the increased macroeconomic uncertainty, in part due to the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as adverse movements on interest rate-linked instruments as yield curves steepened.

Gains less losses from financial investments of $21m were $0.4bn lower compared with 1H21, reflecting smaller gains on the disposal of debt securities.

Net insurance premium income of $7.6bn was $2.0bn higher than in 1H21, reflecting strong sales in Hong Kong.

Other operating income of $0.7bn increased by $0.6bn compared with 1H21, primarily due to $0.9bn higher net favourable changes in PVIF.

The changes in PVIF were mainly in Hong Kong and included a $0.2bn increase in the value of new business and a $0.3bn gain following a pricing update for our policyholders' funds held on deposit with us in Hong Kong to reflect the cost to provide this service. There was also an increase of $0.3bn primarily reflecting the effect of sharing lower investment returns with policyholders.

PVIF is presented in accordance with IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts'. As set out in 'Future accounting developments' on page 29, IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' is effective from 1 January 2023. Under IFRS 17, there will be no PVIF asset recognised. Instead, the estimated future profit will be included in the measurement of the insurance contract liability as the contractual service margin and gradually recognised in revenue as services are provided over the duration of the insurance contract.

The increase in 'Other operating income' also included a $0.1bn provisional gain on completion of our acquisition of AXA Singapore in 1H22. The increases were partly offset by 1H22 losses associated with the planned sales of our branch operations in Greece and our operations in Russia.

Net insurance claims and benefits paid and movement in liabilities to policyholders of $5.4bn were $2.5bn lower, primarily due to lower returns on financial assets supporting contracts where the policyholder is subject to part or all of the investment risk, mainly in France and Hong Kong, together with the impact of higher sales volumes in Hong Kong.

Change in expected credit losses and other credit impairment charges ('ECL') were a charge of $1.1bn, compared with a net release of $0.7bn in 1H21.

The 1H22 charge primarily reflected stage 3 charges of $0.8bn, including charges related to the commercial real estate sector in mainland China, as well as against Russia exposures. We also recognised additional stage 1 and stage 2 allowances to reflect heightened levels of economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures, in part offset by the release of most of our remaining Covid-19-related allowances. This compared with a net release in 1H21 primarily relating to Covid-19-related allowances previously built up in 2020.

We continue to expect our ECL charges to normalise towards 30bps of average loans in 2022, recognising the possible risk of further deterioration in the consensus economic outlook.

1 Other operating expenses includes professional fees, contractor costs, transaction taxes, marketing and travel. The decrease was driven by favourable currency translation, as well as higher capitalisation resulting from changes in the capitalisation offset to contractors, services contracted out and other administration expenses compared with the prior year. This was partly offset by higher professional fees resulting from investment in technology including cost to achieve spend.

Operating expenses of $16.4bn were $0.7bn or 4% lower than in 1H21. This included a favourable impact of $0.7bn from foreign currency translation differences, in part offset by an increase in restructuring and other related costs of $0.2bn.

The reduction also reflected the impact of our cost-saving initiatives of $1.1bn and a lower performance-related pay accrual of $0.4bn, for which the Group-wide phasing of the accrual is driven by the expected profile of full-year profits. Given profits in 1H21 benefited from significant ECL releases, we recognised a larger share of the accrual in the first half of the year relative to 1H22. These factors more than offset increases from our continued investments in technology of $0.4bn, which is gross of cost savings of $0.2bn, and in wealth in Asia of $0.2bn, as well as from other increases, including higher inflation, regulatory investments, growth in business volumes and marketing.

The number of employees expressed in full-time equivalent staff ('FTEs') at 30 June 2022 was 218,866, a decrease of 831 from 31 December 2021. Additionally, the number of contractors at 30 June 2022 was 6,642, an increase of 450 from 31 December 2021.

Share of profit in associates and joint ventures of $1.4bn was $0.2bn or 13% lower, primarily as 1H21 included a higher share of profit from BGF due to the recovery in asset valuations.

In relation to Bank of Communications Co., Limited ('BoCom'), we continue to be subject to a risk of impairment in the carrying value of our investment. We have performed an impairment test on the carrying amount of our investment and confirmed there was no impairment at 30 June 2022. For further details of our impairment review process, see Note 10 on the interim condensed financial statements.

Tax expense

Tax in 1H22 was a credit of $39m. This was mainly due to a $1.8bn credit arising from the recognition of a deferred tax asset on historical tax losses of HSBC Holdings as a result of improved profit forecasts for the UK tax group, which accelerated the expected utilisation of these losses and reduced the uncertainty regarding their recoverability. Excluding this, the effective tax rate for 1H22 was 19.4% and was reduced by the remeasurement of deferred tax balances following substantive enactment of legislation to reduce the rate of the UK banking surcharge from 8% to 3% with effect from 1 April 2023. The effective tax rate for 1H21 was 22.3%.

Balance sheet commentary compared with 31 December 2021

At 30 June 2022, our total assets were $3.0tn, an increase of $27bn or 1% on a reported basis, and $173bn or 6% on a constant currency basis.

Our asset base included growth in derivative asset balances due to favourable revaluation movements on interest rate contracts, and higher other assets reflecting seasonal reductions in settlement accounts at 31 December 2021, as clients settled trades prior to the year end. These increases were partly offset by reductions in cash and balances at central banks and lower trading assets.

Our ratio of loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer accounts of 62% was in line with 31 December 2021.

Assets

Cash and balances at central banks decreased by $39bn or 10%, which included a $32bn impact of foreign exchange movements since 31 December 2021.

Trading assets decreased by $31bn or 13%, notably from a reduction in equity securities held, particularly in the UK and Hong Kong, notably reflecting lower client demand.

Derivative assets increased by $66bn or 34%, mainly in Europe, reflecting favourable revaluation movements on interest rate contracts due to movements in long-term yield curve rates in most major markets. Foreign exchange contracts also increased as a result of foreign exchange rate movements, mainly in the UK, France and Hong Kong. The increase in derivative assets was consistent with the increase in derivative liabilities, as the underlying risk is broadly matched.

Loans and advances to customers of $1.0tn were $17bn lower, which included an adverse impact from foreign currency translation differences of $51bn. On a constant currency basis, customer lending balances were $34bn higher.

The commentary below is on a constant currency basis.

Customer lending increased in WPB by $13bn to $475bn, mainly from higher mortgage balances, notably in the UK (up $5bn), Australia (up $2bn) and Hong Kong (up $1bn). There was also an increase in term lending of $2bn, mainly in Hong Kong and the UK, although overdraft and credit card balances fell, mainly in Asia.

In CMB, customer lending of $348bn was $16bn higher with increases in all regions. Trade volumes remained robust, with growth in term lending of $9bn, reflecting a strong performance in North America and Asia.

In GBM, customer lending of $204bn grew by $5bn, reflecting higher term lending of $5bn, mainly in the US, the UK and UAE due to increased customer drawdowns. There was also growth in overdraft balances of $3bn, mainly in the UK and Hong Kong.

Financial investments decreased by $15bn or 3%, mainly in Europe from the adverse impact of foreign currency translation differences since 31 December 2021. The reduction included adverse fair value movements recorded in 'other comprehensive income' in equity on debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills as a result of higher yield curves and wider macroeconomic pressures. It also included reductions due to disposals and maturity of these securities. The reductions were partly offset by increases in debt instruments measured at amortised cost, as we repositioned our portfolio to reduce capital volatility.

Other assets grew by $53bn or 22%, primarily due to an increase of $29bn in settlement accounts in the UK, the US and Hong Kong from higher trading activity, compared with the seasonal reduction in December 2021. Cash collateral grew by $14bn, reflecting the increase in fair value of derivative assets.

Liabilities

Customer accounts of $1.7tn decreased by $59bn on a reported basis, including the adverse impact of foreign currency translation differences of $83bn. On a constant currency basis, customer accounts were $24bn higher.

The commentary below is on a constant currency basis.

The increase in customer accounts was primarily in WPB (up $15bn), driven by higher interest-bearing and term deposit balances, as interest rates rose. There was a smaller corresponding reduction in non-interest-bearing current accounts.

Customer accounts also increased in GBM, mainly due to growth in interest-bearing and term deposit balances as customers demonstrated a preference for higher yielding accounts as interest rates rose, notably in Europe.

In CMB, customer accounts remained broadly stable, with reductions in North America, partly offset with growth in all other regions. In the UK, customer accounts grew as clients deployed their commercial surplus to interest-bearing accounts as interest rates rose.

Financial liabilities designated at fair value decreased by $19bn or 13%, notably from maturities, mark-to-market reductions and foreign exchange revaluations on non-US dollar instruments.

Derivative liabilities increased by $60bn or 32%, which is consistent with the increase in derivative assets, since the underlying risk is broadly matched.

Other liabilities increased by $43bn or 22%, notably from a rise of $31bn in settlement accounts in the UK, Hong Kong and the US from an increase in trading activity, compared with the seasonal reduction in December 2021. Cash collateral increased by $15bn, mainly due to the increase in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Equity

Total shareholders' equity , including non-controlling interests, decreased by $10bn or 5% compared with 31 December 2021.

Profits generated of $9bn were more than offset by coupon distributions on securities classified as equity and dividends paid of $4bn, as well as net losses through other comprehensive income ('OCI') of $13bn. The net losses in OCI included adverse movements of $5bn on financial instruments designated as hold-to-collect-and-sell, which are held as hedges to our exposure to interest rate movements, as a result of the increase in term market yield curves in 1H22. The net loss also included an adverse impact from foreign exchange differences of $9bn. These losses were partly offset by fair value gains on liabilities related to changes in own credit risk of $2bn.

Overall the Group is positively exposed to rising interest rates through net interest income, although there is an impact on our capital base due to the fair value of hold-to-collect-and-sell instruments. These instruments are reported within 'financial investments'. There is an initial negative effect materialising through reserves, after which the net interest income of the Group is expected to result in a net benefit over time, provided policy rates follow market implied rates.

Over time, these adverse movements will unwind as the instruments reach maturity, although not all will necessarily be held to maturity.

It is currently estimated that it will take around four quarters for the benefit to Group net interest income to offset the adverse impact of these revaluations, provided the composition of the portfolio were to remain static.

Risk-weighted assets

Risk-weighted assets ('RWAs') rose by $13.4bn during the first half of the year. Excluding foreign currency translation differences, RWAs increased by $47.4bn, largely as a result of the following:

-- a $19.9bn increase due to asset size movements, mostly due to corporate loan growth across our major regions; and

-- a $28.3bn increase due to changes in methodology and policy. This was mostly due to regulatory change and refinements to our treatment of small and medium-sized enterprises, partly offset by reductions from risk parameter refinements in GBM and CMB.

Summary 
 

The Group Chief Executive, supported by the rest of the Group Executive Committee ('GEC'), reviews operating activity on a number of bases, including by global business and geographical region. Our global businesses - Wealth and Personal Banking, Commercial Banking, and Global Banking and Markets - along with Corporate Centre are our reportable segments under IFRS 8 'Operating Segments', and are presented below and in Note 5: 'Segmental analysis' on page 112.

 
Basis of preparation 
 The Group Chief Executive, supported 
 by the rest of the GEC, is considered 
 the Chief Operating Decision Maker 
 ('CODM') for the purposes of identifying 
 the Group's reportable segments. 
 Global business results are assessed 
 by the CODM on the basis of adjusted 
 performance, which removes the effects 
 of significant items and currency 
 translation from reported results. 
 Therefore, we present these results 
 on an adjusted basis. Adjusted performance 
 information for 1H21 and 2H21 is 
 presented on a constant currency 
 basis as described on page 29. 
 As required by IFRS 8, reconciliations 
 of the total adjusted global business 
 results to the Group's reported 
 results are presented on page 113. 
 Supplementary reconciliations from 
 reported to adjusted results by 
 global business are presented on 
 pages 37 to 39 for information purposes. 
 Global business performance is also 
 assessed using return on tangible 
 equity ('RoTE'), excluding significant 
 items. A reconciliation of global 
 business RoTE, excluding significant 
 items to the Group's RoTE, is provided 
 on page 56. 
 Our operations are closely integrated 
 and, accordingly, the presentation 
 of data includes internal allocations 
 of certain items of income and expense. 
 These allocations include the costs 
 of certain support services and 
 global functions to the extent that 
 they can be meaningfully attributed 
 to global businesses and geographical 
 regions. While such allocations 
 have been made on a systematic and 
 consistent basis, they necessarily 
 involve a degree of subjectivity. 
 Costs that are not allocated to 
 global businesses are included in 
 Corporate Centre. 
 Where relevant, income and expense 
 amounts presented include the results 
 of inter-segment funding along with 
 inter-company and inter-business 
 line transactions. All such transactions 
 are undertaken on arm's length terms. 
 The intra-Group elimination items 
 for the global businesses are presented 
 in Corporate Centre. 
 The expense of the UK bank levy 
 is included in the Europe geographical 
 region as HSBC regards the levy 
 as a cost of being headquartered 
 in the UK. The current year expense 
 is reflected in the fourth quarter 
 as it is assessed on our balance 
 sheet position as at 31 December. 
 The results of geographical regions 
 are presented on a reported and 
 adjusted basis. Geographical information 
 is classified by the location of 
 the principal operations of the 
 subsidiary or, for The Hongkong 
 and Shanghai Banking Corporation 
 Limited, HSBC Bank plc, HSBC UK 
 Bank plc, HSBC Bank Middle East 
 Limited and HSBC Bank USA, by the 
 location of the branch responsible 
 for reporting the results or providing 
 funding.

1 Adjusted results are derived by adjusting for period-on-period effects of foreign currency translation differences, and the effect of significant items that distort period-on-period comparisons. There were no significant items included within insurance manufacturing, and the impact of foreign currency translation on 'All global businesses' profit before tax was 1H21: $36m unfavourable (reported: $1,262m); 2H21: $12m unfavourable (reported: $879m).

2 The results presented for insurance manufacturing operations are shown before elimination of inter-company transactions with HSBC

non-insurance operations.

3 Net operating income before change in expected credit losses and other credit impairment charges, also referred to as revenue.

4 The effect on the insurance manufacturing operations of applying hyperinflation accounting in Argentina resulted in a decrease in adjusted revenue in 1H22 of $2m (1H21: increase of $6m; 2H21: increase of $5m) and a decrease in profit before tax in 1H22 of $2m (1H21: increase of $6m; 2H21: increase of $4m). These effects are recorded within 'All global businesses'.

Insurance manufacturing

The following commentary, unless otherwise specified, relates to the 'All global businesses' results.

HSBC recognises the present value of long-term in-force insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features ('PVIF') as an asset on the balance sheet.

The overall balance sheet equity, including PVIF, is therefore a measure of the embedded value in the insurance manufacturing entities, and the movement in this embedded value in the period drives the overall income statement result.

Adjusted profit before tax of $0.6bn decreased by $0.6bn compared with 1H21.

Net operating income before change in expected credit losses and other credit impairment charges was $1.1bn, which was $0.5bn lower than in 1H21. This reflected the following:

-- 'Net expense from assets and liabilities of insurance businesses, including related derivatives, measured at fair value through profit or loss' of $3.1bn in 1H22, compared with a net income of $2.7bn in 1H21. This was primarily due to unfavourable equity market performances in France and Hong Kong in 1H22, compared with favourable market performances in 1H21.

This unfavourable movement resulted in a corresponding movement in liabilities to policyholders and PVIF (see 'Other operating income' below), reflecting the extent to which policyholders and shareholders respectively participate in the investment performance of the associated asset portfolios.

-- Net insurance premium income of $7.7bn was $2.1bn higher than in 1H21. This increase reflected strong sales in Hong Kong driven by our whole-of-life propositions.

--

Other operating income of $1.0bn increased by $1.0bn compared with 1H21, reflecting an increase in the value of new business of $0.2bn in Hong Kong, a $0.3bn gain from a pricing update for policyholder funds held on deposit with us in Hong Kong to reflect the cost of provision of these services, and an increase of $0.3bn primarily reflecting the effect of sharing lower investment returns with policyholders in Hong Kong. It also reflected a $0.1bn day one provisional gain on completion of our acquisition of AXA Singapore in 1H22.

-- Net insurance claims and benefits paid and movement in liabilities to policyholders of $5.5bn were $2.2bn lower, primarily due to a decline in returns on financial assets supporting contracts where the policyholder is subject to part or all of the investment risk, mainly in France and Hong Kong. It also reflected higher sales volumes in Hong Kong.

-- Total operating expenses of $0.4bn increased by $0.1bn compared with 1H21, reflecting the incorporation of the results of AXA Singapore in 1H22 and investment in our Pinnacle proposition in mainland China.

Annualised new business premiums ('ANP') is a measure of new insurance premium generation by the business. It is calculated as 100% of annualised first-year regular premiums and 10% of single premiums, before reinsurance ceded. ANP of $1.3bn in 1H22 was $0.2bn lower due to a higher proportion of sales in Hong Kong having been generated from single premium products.

Insurance distribution income from HSBC channels included $294m (1H21: $258m; 2H21: $216m) on HSBC manufactured products, for which a corresponding fee expense is recognised within insurance manufacturing, and $175m (1H21: $172m; 2H21: $162m) on products manufactured by third-party providers. The WPB component of this distribution income was $265m (1H21: $223m; 2H21: $199m) from HSBC manufactured products and $166m (1H21: $163m; 2H21: $154m) from third-party products.

1 Funds under management are not reported on the Group's balance sheet, except where it is deemed that we are acting as principal rather than agent in our role as investment manager.

At 30 June 2022, Asset Management funds under management amounted to $585bn, a decrease of $45bn or 7% compared with 31 December 2021. The decrease was driven by an adverse market performance, reflecting the effects of macroeconomic uncertainty on financial markets, and the unfavourable impact of

foreign currency translation differences. Despite this, we delivered robust net new invested assets of $20bn, primarily from money market solutions, passive investment products and private equity investment products.

Use of alternative performance 
 measures 
 

Our reported results are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as detailed in our interim condensed financial statements starting on page 104.

As described on page 29, we use a combination of reported and alternative performance measures, including those derived from our reported results that eliminate factors that distort period-on-period comparisons. These are considered alternative performance measures (non-GAAP financial measures).

The following information details the adjustments made to the reported results and the calculation of other alternative performance measures. All alternative performance measures are reconciled to the closest reported performance measure.

 
Return on average ordinary shareholders' 
 equity and return on average tangible 
 equity 
 

Return on average ordinary shareholders' equity ('RoE') is computed by taking profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the parent company ('reported results'), divided by average ordinary shareholders' equity ('reported equity') for the period. The adjustment to reported results and reported equity excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests and holders of preference shares and other equity instruments.

Return on average tangible equity ('RoTE') is computed by adjusting reported results for the movements in the present value of in-force long-term insurance business ('PVIF') and for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets (net of tax), divided by average reported equity adjusted for goodwill, intangibles and PVIF for the period.

Return on average tangible equity excluding significant items is annualised profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, excluding changes in PVIF and significant items (net of tax), divided by average tangible shareholders' equity excluding fair value of own debt, debt valuation adjustment ('DVA') and other adjustments for the period.

We provide RoTE ratios in addition to RoE as a way of assessing our performance, which is closely aligned to our capital position.
