Q3 2019 Interim Management Statement

31 October 2019

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

"In the first nine months of 2019 we have made strong strategic progress and delivered solid financial performance in a challenging external environment. I am disappointed that our statutory result was significantly impacted by the additional PPI charge in the third quarter, driven by an unprecedented level of PPI information requests received in August. However, our performance continues to demonstrate the resilience of our customer franchise and business model, the strength of our balance sheet and that our strategy is the right one in this environment.

We will maintain our prudent approach to growth and risk whilst continuing to focus on reducing costs and investing in the business to transform the Group for success in a digital world. Although continued economic uncertainty could further impact the outlook, we remain well placed to support our customers and to continue to Help Britain Prosper."

António Horta-Osório, Group Chief Executive

 
 
                        HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE NINE MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019 
 
             Strong strategic progress and the right strategy in the current environment 
                       *    Strategic investment of GBP1.7 billion since launch 
                                          of GSR3 in February 2018 
 
 
                       *    Schroders Personal Wealth launched with ambition of 
                            becoming top 3 financial planning business by end of 
                                                    2023 
 
 
                       *    Acquisition of Tesco Bank's GBP3.7 billion UK prime 
                                       residential mortgage portfolio 
 
 
 
         Solid financial performance with statutory result impacted by additional PPI charge 
                          *    Statutory profit before tax of GBP2.9 billion 
                            including an additional GBP1.8 billion PPI charge in 
                                             the third quarter 
 
 
                       *    Underlying profit of GBP6.0 billion in a challenging 
                             external environment, with lower net income partly 
                             offset by lower total costs and higher impairment 
                                                  charges 
 
 
                       *    Net income of GBP13.0 billion, down 3 per cent, with 
                              slightly lower average interest-earning banking 
                           assets of GBP434 billion, net interest margin of 2.89 
                            per cent and other income of GBP4.4 billion, down 4 
                                                  per cent 
 
 
                       *    Total costs of GBP6.0 billion down 5 per cent driven 
                           by reductions in both operating costs and remediation 
                             charges. Market-leading cost:income ratio further 
                            reduced to 46.5 per cent with positive jaws of 2 per 
                                                    cent 
 
 
                         *    Credit quality remains strong. Net asset quality 
                             ratio of 29 basis points, including a single large 
                                   corporate charge in the third quarter 
 
 
                           *    Tangible net assets per share of 52.0 pence. 
                             Statutory return on tangible equity reduced to 6.8 
                            per cent significantly driven by the PPI charge with 
                           underlying return on tangible equity remaining strong 
                                              at 15.7 per cent 
 
 
 
                  Balance sheet strength maintained with lower Pillar 2A requirement 
                        *    Loans and advances up GBP6 billion in the quarter, 
                            with continued growth in targeted segments including 
                              the open mortgage book, benefiting from both the 
                             Tesco mortgage acquisition and organic growth, SME 
                                             and Motor Finance 
 
 
                       *    CET1 capital build of 149 basis points in the first 
                             nine months before PPI charge and 28 basis points 
                               after the charge; CET1 ratio of 13.5 per cent 
 
 
                       *    Pillar 2A CET1 requirement reduced from 2.7 per cent 
                           to 2.6 per cent. Target CET1 ratio remains c.12.5 per 
                             cent, plus a c.1 per cent management buffer. Given 
                              the Pillar 2A reduction, the headroom above the 
                                   regulatory requirements has increased 
 
 
 
                                               Outlook 
                         *    The resilience of the Group's business model is 
                                      reflected in its 2019 guidance: 
 
 
                        *    Net interest margin of 2.88 per cent, in line with 
                                    previous guidance of c.2.90 per cent 
 
 
                       *    Operating costs now expected to be less than GBP7.9 
                            billion, ahead of previous guidance, and cost:income 
                                       ratio to be lower than in 2018 
 
 
                       *    Net asset quality ratio of less than 30 basis points 
 
 
                      *    Free capital build of c.75 basis points, post the PPI 
                                         charge of 121 basis points 
 
 
                      *    Although continued economic uncertainty could further 
                           impact the outlook, the Group remains well positioned 
                             with the right strategy to continue delivering for 
                                         customers and shareholders

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

Solid financial performance with statutory result impacted by additional PPI charge

The Group's statutory profit before tax for the nine months was GBP2,947 million with good underlying profit offset by an additional GBP1,800 million payment protection insurance (PPI) charge in the third quarter.

Given the challenging external environment, underlying profit was GBP6,016 million compared to GBP6,303 million in the first nine months of 2018, reflecting lower net income partially offset by lower total costs and higher impairment charges. The Group's underlying return on tangible equity remained strong at 15.7 per cent.

Net income of GBP13,009 million was 3 per cent lower than in the first nine months of 2018, reflecting lower net interest income and other income, while operating lease depreciation was stable.

Net interest income of GBP9,275 million was down 3 per cent with both net interest margin and average interest-earning banking assets slightly lower. Net interest margin reduced to 2.89 per cent for the period, and to 2.88 per cent in the third quarter, with the benefit of lower deposit costs, higher current account balances and a small benefit from aligning MBNA credit card terms to other brands across the Group more than offset by continued pressure on asset margins. Average interest-earning banking assets reduced by GBP1.9 billion year on year with growth in targeted segments more than offset by lower balances in the closed mortgage book and the sale of the Irish mortgage portfolio in the first half of 2018.

Other income decreased by 4 per cent to GBP4,415 million due to lower Commercial Banking income driven by more subdued levels of client activity in the markets business given challenging external conditions, lower Retail income predominately driven by lower Lex Autolease volumes, and lower gilt sales. Insurance and Wealth continued to perform well reflecting growth in workplace pensions new business in the first half and higher general insurance income whilst also benefiting from assumption changes and the one-off benefit from the planned change in investment management provider taken in the first half of 2019.

Total costs of GBP6,043 million were 5 per cent lower than in the first nine months of 2018 driven by continued reductions in both operating costs and remediation charges. Operating costs of GBP5,817 million were 3 per cent lower with a 6 per cent reduction in business as usual costs(1) , largely driven by increased efficiency from digitalisation and process improvements, in parallel with strategic investment of GBP0.8 billion in the business, up 24 per cent compared to the first nine months of 2018. Remediation charges of GBP226 million were significantly lower than the GBP366 million in the first nine months of 2018 and included additional charges of GBP83 million in the third quarter of 2019 relating to a number of items across existing programmes. The Group's market-leading cost:income ratio continues to provide a competitive advantage and further strengthened to 46.5 per cent with positive jaws of 2 per cent. As a result of the Group's continued focus on efficiency, operating costs (which exclude remediation) are now expected to be less than GBP7.9 billion for the full year 2019, ahead of previous guidance and the cost:income ratio (which includes remediation) is expected to be lower than in 2018.

Credit quality remains strong with a net asset quality ratio of 29 basis points and a gross asset quality ratio of 36 basis points, compared with 22 basis points and 28 basis points respectively in the first nine months of 2018. The impairment charge increased to GBP950 million, with the increase primarily driven by a single large corporate charge in the third quarter and lower used car prices. The underlying asset quality ratio has remained low in recent quarters and the Group continues to expect a net asset quality ratio of less than 30 basis points in 2019.

The Group's outlook and IFRS 9 base case economic scenario used to calculate expected credit loss have remained broadly stable in the quarter and throughout 2019 and reflect an orderly exit of the UK from the European Union.

 
 
(1)  2018 business as usual costs have been adjusted to a comparable 
      basis after the implementation of IFRS 16 in 2019. On an unadjusted 
      basis business as usual costs reduced 10 per cent on prior year. 
 

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Restructuring costs of GBP280 million were down 54 per cent, primarily reflecting lower severance costs relating to the Group's strategic investment plans and the completion of both the integration of MBNA and the ring-fencing programme, which were partially offset by costs associated with establishing the Schroders Personal Wealth joint venture.

Volatility and other items of GBP339 million included adverse movements in banking volatility as well as the one-off charge for exiting the Standard Life Aberdeen investment management agreement taken in the first half of 2019.

The PPI provision charge of GBP2,450 million included an additional charge of GBP1,800 million in the quarter, reflecting the significant increase in PPI information requests (PIRs) leading up to the deadline for submission of claims on 29 August 2019, a PPI provision linked to the Official Receiver and associated administration costs. The assessment of PIR volumes is now complete and the third quarter charge reflects this and the most recent data in terms of quality, which remains low, averaging around 10 per cent. Taking this additional charge into account, the unutilised provision relating to PIRs, complaints and associated administration costs stood at GBP2,324 million at the end of the third quarter.

Balance sheet strength maintained with lower Pillar 2A requirement

Loans and advances to customers increased by GBP6.2 billion to GBP447.2 billion in the third quarter with growth in targeted segments, including the open mortgage book, SME and Motor Finance, offset by reductions in the closed mortgage book and Global Corporates and Financial Institutions. The open mortgage book grew by GBP6.1 billion driven by the GBP3.7 billion Tesco mortgage acquisition and GBP2.4 billion of organic book growth as the Group took advantage of market pricing in the third quarter and benefitted from a strong application pipeline. The Group now expects its open mortgage book at the end of 2019, including the Tesco mortgage acquisition, to be ahead of the 2018 year-end balance.

The Group continues to optimise funding and target current account balance growth, with Retail current accounts up 3 per cent over the last nine months at GBP76.1 billion (31 December 2018: GBP73.7 billion). The loan to deposit ratio was flat at 107 per cent.

Tangible net assets per share reduced by 1.0 pence in the first nine months of 2019 to 52.0 pence mainly due to the impact of the additional PPI charge on the Group's statutory profit for the period.

The Group's CET1 capital build amounted to 149 basis points before PPI and to 28 basis points after the in-year PPI charge equivalent to 121 basis points. Underlying capital build of 148 basis points, along with other movements of 12 basis points (reflecting market movements and the continued optimisation of Commercial Banking risk-weighted assets, net of additional pension contributions), was partly offset by the 11 basis points impact of IFRS 16. The Group's capital position also benefitted by 34 basis points as a result of the cancellation of the remaining c.GBP650 million of the 2019 buyback programme, as announced in September 2019. The Group used 9 basis points of capital for the acquisition of the Tesco mortgage portfolio.

As a result, in the first nine months of the year, the CET1 capital ratio increased to 14.4 per cent pre dividend accrual. After accruing 91 basis points for the ordinary dividend, the CET1 ratio at 13.5 per cent remains in line with the Board's target.

Given the PPI charge in the third quarter, equivalent to 88 basis points, the Group now expects, assuming no unforeseen events, free capital build of around 75 basis points in 2019. The Group continues to target a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend and in line with normal practice, the Board will give due consideration to the return of any surplus capital at the year end.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

The Group recently received notification from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) that its Pillar 2A CET1 requirement has reduced from 2.7 per cent to 2.6 per cent. The Board's view of the current level of capital required by the Group to grow the business, meet regulatory requirements and cover uncertainties remains unchanged at c.12.5 per cent, plus a c.1 per cent management buffer. The headroom to regulatory requirements has therefore increased. As previously reported, the Group's CET1 capital target reduced during 2019 and is now 50 basis points lower than prior year.

The Group remains well positioned to meet its minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) from 2020 and as at 30 September 2019, had a transitional MREL ratio of 32.5 per cent. The UK leverage ratio remains strong at 4.9 per cent.

Risk-weighted assets have increased by GBP3 billion over the period driven primarily by the implementation of IFRS 16, mortgage model updates and the acquisition of the Tesco mortgage portfolio, offset in part through further optimisation of the Commercial Banking portfolio.

Outlook

In the first nine months of 2019 the Group made strong strategic progress and delivered a solid financial performance in a challenging external environment. The Group's performance continues to demonstrate the resilience of its customer franchise and business model, the strength of its balance sheet and that its strategy remains the right one in the current environment.

The Group will maintain its prudent approach to growth and risk whilst continuing to focus on reducing costs and investing to transform the business for success in a digital world. Although continued economic uncertainty could further impact the outlook, the Group remains well placed to support its customers and to continue to Help Britain Prosper.

                                                 BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
 This release covers the results of Lloyds Banking Group plc together with its subsidiaries 
  (the Group) for the nine months ended 30 September 2019. 
  IFRS 16 and IAS 12: The Group adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019 and as permitted 
  elected to apply the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application 
  being recognised at that date; comparative information has not been restated. The Group has 
  implemented the amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes with effect from 1 January 2019 and as a 
  result tax relief on distributions on other equity instruments, previously recognised in equity, 
  is now reported within tax expense. Comparatives have been restated. 
 Statutory basis: Statutory profit before tax and statutory profit after tax are included on 
  pages 2 and 3. However, a number of factors have had a significant effect on the comparability 
  of the Group's financial position and results. Accordingly, the results are also presented 
  on an underlying basis. 
  Underlying basis: The statutory results are adjusted for certain items which are listed below, 
   to allow a comparison of the Group's underlying performance. 
    *    restructuring, including severance-related costs, the 
         rationalisation of the non-branch property portfolio, 
         the establishment of the Schroders strategic 
         partnership, the integration of MBNA and Zurich's UK 
         workplace pensions and savings business; 
 
 
    *    volatility and other items, which includes the 
         effects of certain asset sales, the volatility 
         relating to the Group's hedging arrangements and that 
         arising in the insurance businesses, insurance gross 
         up, the unwind of acquisition-related fair value 
         adjustments and the amortisation of purchased 
         intangible assets; 
 
 
    *    payment protection insurance provisions. 
 Unless otherwise stated, income statement commentaries throughout this document compare the 
 nine months ended 30 September 2019 to the nine months ended 30 September 2018, and the balance 
 sheet analysis compares the Group balance sheet as at 30 September 2019 to the Group balance 
 sheet as at 31 December 2018. 
 Alternative performance measures: The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures, 
 including underlying profit, in the discussion of its business performance and financial position. 
 There have been no changes to the definitions used by the Group; further information on these 
 measures is set out on page 112 of the Group's 2019 Half-Year Results News Release.
