REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

Income statement - underlying basis ^A

The Group's statutory profit before tax for the first nine months of 2026 was £6,625 million, 42% higher than in the first nine months of 2025, reflecting higher total income and a lower remediation charge, partially offset by higher charges for operating lease depreciation and impairment. Profit after tax was £4,835 million and earnings per share were 7.6 pence (nine months ended 30 September 2025: £3,322 million and 4.8 pence respectively).

The Group's underlying profit was £6,582 million in the first nine months of 2026, up 36% versus the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2025: £4,851 million). The first nine months benefitted from higher underlying net interest income, higher underlying other income and a lower remediation charge, partially offset by higher charges for operating lease depreciation and impairment. Underlying profit in the third quarter was up 7% versus the second quarter of 2026.

Net income^A

Net income of £14,819 million was up 9% compared to the first nine months of 2025, with higher underlying net interest income and higher underlying other income, partially offset by an increased charge for operating lease depreciation. Net income in the third quarter of 2026 was up 2% compared to the second quarter.

Within net income, underlying net interest income of £11,084 million in the first nine months of 2026 was up 10% compared to the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2025: £10,106 million). This was supported by a higher banking net interest margin of 3.21% (nine months to 30 September 2025: 3.04%), driven by increased structural hedge income as maturing positions were reinvested at higher interest rates, partially offset by asset margin compression across portfolios, particularly in UK mortgages, and a competitive deposit market. Net interest income for the period was also supported by strong customer-led lending growth. The Group delivered continued, broad-based growth across the Retail business, with increases in UK mortgages (net of the impact of the securitisation of £1.8 billion of primarily legacy Retail mortgages in the second quarter), the unsecured lending businesses, the European retail business and UK Motor Finance. Within Commercial Banking, lending growth within Corporate and Institutional Banking was strong, with growth in Business and Commercial Banking partially offset by continued repayments of government-backed lending. Together, this resulted in average interest-earning banking assets in the first nine months increasing to £477.5 billion (nine months to 30 September 2025: £460.4 billion). Underlying net interest income in the first nine months of 2026 included a non-banking net interest expense of £386 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £372 million). The Group guidance remains for underlying net interest income for 2026 to be greater than £14.9 billion. Current market conditions imply that this will be modestly above £14.9 billion.

Underlying net interest income of £3,806 million for the third quarter was up 3% compared to the second quarter of 2026 (three months to 30 June 2026: £3,709 million). A growing structural hedge contribution offset the impact of asset margin compression and a competitive deposit market. This resulted in a higher banking net interest margin of 3.25% in the third quarter compared to 3.22% in the second quarter of 2026, continuing positive margin momentum although at a slowing pace. Alongside, average interest-earning banking assets grew 1% to £481.0 billion (three months to 30 June 2026: £477.9 billion), reflecting growth across the Retail division, led by the unsecured lending businesses, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business, and growth in Corporate and Institutional Banking within Commercial Banking.

The Group manages the risk to earnings and capital from movements in interest rates by hedging the net liabilities which are stable or less sensitive to movements in rates. As at 30 September 2026, the notional balance of the sterling structural hedge was £246 billion (31 December 2025: £244 billion) with a weighted average life of approximately 3.75 years (31 December 2025: approximately 3.75 years). The £2 billion increase occurred in the first quarter, reflecting continued strong performance in hedge eligible balances, including personal current accounts. The notional balance remained stable in the third quarter. The Group generated £5.2 billion of total income from structural hedge balances in the first nine months of 2026 (nine months to 30 September 2025: £4.0 billion). The Group continues to expect structural hedge earnings to be greater than £7.0 billion in 2026 and greater than £8.0 billion in 2027, with earnings growth from the structural hedge expected to continue thereafter.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Income statement - underlying basis ^A (continued)

Underlying other income of £4,996 million in the first nine months of 2026 grew by 10% compared to the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2025: £4,526 million), with broad-based growth due to strengthening customer activity, the continued benefit of investments in strategic initiatives and the addition of Lloyds Wealth. This included an increase of 10% in Retail, driven by UK Motor Finance fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental value and a gain on the securitisation of primarily legacy mortgages. Within Commercial Banking, underlying other income decreased by 3% year-on-year, with higher revenues from increased transaction banking and loan markets activity more than offset by lower markets income, reflecting the impact of market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty. Insurance, Pensions and Investments underlying other income was up 14%, driven by Lloyds Wealth and strong performance in the Workplace business, partially offset by increased general insurance claims, particularly given the industry-wide subsidence event. Equity Investments and Central Items benefitted from continued growth in Lloyds Living and strong realisations and net valuation gains in LDC, with the Group's equity investment businesses up 29%.

Underlying other income in the third quarter was down 1% compared to the second quarter of 2026. This was primarily driven by increased claims related to the industry-wide subsidence event in Insurance, Pensions and Investments and lower markets income in Commercial Banking driven by continued macroeconomic volatility, whilst the second quarter benefitted from securitisation and LDC gains. This was all partly offset by continued growth within Retail, particularly by UK Motor Finance fleet growth and income from current accounts, alongside growth in Lloyds Living.

Operating lease depreciation of £1,261 million in the first nine months of 2026 was 17% higher than in the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2025: £1,075 million), given fleet growth, the depreciation of higher value vehicles and a second quarter charge for reduced used car prices, partially offset by continued risk mitigation. Operating lease depreciation was 7% lower in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, at £420 million, predominantly due to the non-repeat of the additional charge taken in the second quarter to reflect used car prices, offset by ongoing fleet growth.

Total costs^A

Operating costs of £7,246 million were up 1% in the year to date (nine months to 30 September 2025: £7,176 million). This reflected business growth costs, inflationary pressures and costs related to Lloyds Wealth, largely offset by continued cost savings, a lower severance expense and plateauing investment as the current strategic cycle culminates. Operating costs in the third quarter were 1% lower than in the second quarter, driven primarily by a reduced depreciation charge and lower investment spend, offset by higher severance costs.

A remediation charge of £61 million was recognised by the Group in the first nine months of 2026 (nine months to 30 September 2025: £912 million) across a small number of programmes. The prior year included £800 million in relation to the potential impact of motor finance commission arrangements, taken in the third quarter of 2025. There have been no further charges relating to motor finance commission arrangements. The FCA published policy statement PS26/3 in March 2026 with final rules for its motor finance redress schemes. Four challenges to the FCA's schemes have been raised, three by lenders and one by a consumer group. The implementation of the schemes has now been delayed, as the Upper Tribunal hearing in respect of those challenges is listed for hearing in the second half of February 2027. The Group will closely monitor the development of these challenges and consider any potential impact on the existing provision. Despite these uncertainties, as well as broader implications of any legal and/or regulatory developments, the current provision continues to represent the Group's current best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance issue.

Total costs, including remediation, of £7,307 million in the year to date were 10% lower than in the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2025: £8,088 million), with net income up 9%. The cost:income ratio was 49.3% (nine months to 30 September 2025: 59.7%). In the third quarter the cost:income ratio was 47.2%. The cost:income ratio excluding remediation for the first nine months of the year was 48.9% (nine months to 30 September 2025: 52.9%). For 2026, the Group continues to expect the cost:income ratio to be less than 50%, with operating costs of less than £9.9 billion.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Income statement - underlying basis ^A (continued)

Underlying impairment^A

The underlying impairment charge in the first nine months of 2026 was £930 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £618 million), resulting in an asset quality ratio of 25 basis points. The pre-updated MES charge of £842 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £591 million) is equivalent to an asset quality ratio of 23 basis points. The higher charge compared to the prior year is driven by model updates in both 2025 and 2026 and a more normalised level of impairment in 2026, along with balance sheet growth in Retail and lower one-off provision releases in Commercial Banking. The charge from updated multiple economic scenarios (MES) in the first nine months was £88 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £27 million), reflecting the impact of the deterioration in the economic outlook due to the Middle East conflict. This is partially offset by the release of the £50 million post model adjustment for global tariff and political disruption risks within Commercial Banking in the first quarter, now considered to be adequately captured within macroeconomic assumptions and resulting modelled provisions.

The impairment charge in the third quarter of £313 million, equivalent to an asset quality ratio of 25 basis points, includes an £8 million MES impact, reflecting modest updates to the economic outlook including the impact of higher unsecured interest rates. The higher pre-updated MES charge includes charges in Commercial Banking following the reassessment of a small number of existing cases in default, partially offset by a benefit from model updates. Retail continues to reflect a normalised level of impairment, following model updates in prior periods. Credit performance remains strong and stable across Retail and Commercial Banking with arrears low and stable in all portfolios. The Group continues to expect the asset quality ratio to be c.25 basis points in 2026.

Restructuring, volatility and other items

Restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2026 were £51 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £16 million), including charges related to Lloyds Wealth and Curve. Volatility and other items were a net gain of £94 million for the first nine months of 2026 (nine months to 30 September 2025: net loss of £157 million). This included a gain from market and other volatility of £217 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: loss of £51 million), as a result of positive market volatility, including the impact of policyholder tax which is offset within the Group's tax line. This was partially offset by regular charges for the amortisation of purchased intangibles of £110 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £61 million) and fair value unwind of £13 million (nine months to 30 September 2025: £45 million). The increase in amortisation of purchased intangibles includes costs relating to Lloyds Wealth and the acquisition of Curve in May 2026. The reduction in fair value unwind resulted from the maturity of certain debt instruments fair valued as part of the HBOS acquisition and the run-off of fair value adjustments relating to Tusker fleet assets in the second half of 2025.

The return on tangible equity for the period was 17.9% (nine months to 30 September 2025: 11.9%) and 19.5% for the third quarter (three months to 30 June 2026: 17.0%). The improvement in the quarter resulted from strong performance in profitability alongside a reduction in tangible net assets (see below). The Group continues to expect the return on tangible equity for 2026 to be greater than 16%.

In January 2026, the Board decided to return surplus capital in respect of 2025 through an ordinary share buyback programme of up to £1.75 billion. This launched on 30 January 2026 and completed on 24 September 2026, with c.1.7 billion ordinary shares repurchased at a cost of £1.75 billion. In July 2026, the Group announced a further ordinary share buyback of up to £1.0 billion. This launched on 31 July 2026 with 0.2 billion ordinary shares repurchased as at 30 September 2026, at a cost of £0.2 billion.

Tangible net assets per share at 30 September 2026 were 55.4 pence, down 1.6 pence in both the year to date and the third quarter. In the third quarter, increases from profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, the unwind of the ordinary share buyback accrual recognised in the second quarter and the reduction in shares in issue due to share buyback programmes were more than offset by capital distributions and the effect of higher longer-term rates impacting the cash flow hedge reserve.

The Group recognised a tax expense of £1,790 million in the first nine months of 2026 (nine months to 30 September 2025: £1,356 million), including £620 million in the third quarter, both representing an effective tax rate of 27%.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Balance sheet

In the first nine months of 2026, underlying loans and advances to customers of £495.5 billion increased by £14.4 billion (up 3%), or £16.0 billion excluding central movements, mainly the fair value hedge resulting from rising swap rates. Growth within Retail of £6.8 billion included an increase of £2.1 billion in UK mortgages (or £3.9 billion excluding the impact of a securitisation of £1.8 billion of primarily legacy Retail mortgages in the second quarter), alongside £4.4 billion of growth across credit cards, UK Retail unsecured loans, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business. Securitisation activity is conducted to manage risk on the balance sheet and to offset regulatory capital pressures, where market opportunities allow net present value positive transactions for the Group. Within Commercial Banking, lending balances increased by £9.2 billion in the first nine months of 2026, reflecting broad-based growth in Corporate and Institutional Banking and Business and Commercial Banking, net of continued government-backed lending repayments.

Underlying loans and advances to customers increased by £4.0 billion in the third quarter, or £5.1 billion excluding central movements, mainly the fair value hedge resulting from rising swap rates. Retail underlying loans and advances to customers increased by £1.8 billion, with broad-based growth across Retail lending products, while Commercial Banking balances increased by £3.3 billion reflecting broad-based growth in both Corporate and Institutional Banking and Business and Commercial Banking, net of continued government-backed lending repayments.

Customer deposits of £502.8 billion increased by £6.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026 (up 1%). Retail deposits of £321.5 billion were down by £3.7 billion, driven by lower Retail UK savings account balances largely in the first quarter, due to disciplined pricing in the context of a competitive deposit market. Retail UK current account balances were up £1.0 billion, supported by the strength of the Group's franchise and proposition. Commercial Banking deposits of £180.7 billion increased by £9.6 billion in the first nine months of 2026, with growth in targeted sectors.

Customer deposits grew by £1.9 billion in the third quarter, driven by growth in Commercial Banking. Retail deposits remained broadly stable, with growth in UK deposits, up £0.2 billion, more than offset by reduced Retail Europe deposits, down £0.5 billion, as the Group balances funding needs with pricing discipline in competitive markets. Within Retail, current account balances grew by £0.6 billion increasing the Group's market share of balances and deepening relationships in this core product. Commercial Banking deposits increased by £2.1 billion in the third quarter, with growth in targeted sectors.

Open book assets under administration (AuA) in Insurance, Pensions and Investments stood at £247 billion as at 30 September 2026. The Group saw a net outflow of £2.0 billion during the first nine months of 2026 in open book AuA, due to the expected exit of two schemes in the third quarter.

The Group has a large, high quality liquid asset portfolio held mainly in cash and government bonds, with all assets hedged for interest rate risk. The Group's liquid assets continue to significantly exceed regulatory requirements and internal risk appetite, with a strong, stable liquidity coverage ratio of 143% at 30 September 2026 (31 December 2025: 145%) and a net stable funding ratio of 123% (31 December 2025: 124%). The loan to deposit ratio of 99% (31 December 2025: 97%), slightly up versus 31 December 2025, continues to reflect a robust funding and liquidity position.

The underlying expected credit loss (ECL) allowance reduced slightly in the first nine months to £3,254 million (31 December 2025: £3,353 million). This reflected the derecognition of mortgage assets after a securitisation transaction in the second quarter and reductions from quarterly model calibrations, partially offset by an increase driven by the updated economic outlook.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Capital

The Group's CET1 capital ratio at 30 September 2026 was 13.3% (31 December 2025: 13.2% pro forma). Capital generation during the first nine months of the year was 153 basis points (45 basis points in the third quarter). This largely reflects strong banking build and the £100 million interim ordinary dividend received from the Insurance business in June 2026, partially offset by risk-weighted asset increases driven mainly by customer lending. The impact of the interim ordinary dividend paid and the foreseeable ordinary dividend accrual equated to 88 basis points, with a further 44 basis points to cover the ordinary share buyback programme of up to £1.0 billion, announced in July 2026. The acquisition of Curve, completed in May 2026, utilised 7 basis points of capital. The Group continues to expect capital generation in 2026 of greater than 200 basis points.

Risk-weighted assets increased by £11.9 billion to £247.4 billion at 30 September 2026 (31 December 2025: £235.5 billion), largely reflecting the impact of strong lending growth and market and other movements, partially offset by continued optimisation including risk transfer and securitisation activity across Commercial Banking and Retail. In the third quarter, risk-weighted assets increased by £5.6 billion, largely reflecting the impact of customer and bank lending growth in a period of limited optimisation.

The Group continues to expect the initial impact of Basel 3.1 implementation on 1 January 2027 to result in a Day 1 risk-weighted assets reduction in the range of c.£6 billion to c.£8 billion. The Group's Retail secured CRD IV models remain subject to review and approval by the PRA and therefore uncertainty remains on the final outcome.

The PRA provided an update on the Group's Pillar 2A CET1 capital requirement during the third quarter. From 1 January 2027 the requirement will reduce to c.1.2% of risk-weighted assets, reflecting the implementation of Basel 3.1. The current requirement of c.1.4% of risk-weighted assets will continue to apply until 31 December 2026. The Group's total regulatory CET1 capital requirement remains c.12% of risk-weighted assets. The Board's view of the ongoing level of total CET1 capital required to grow the business, meet current and future regulatory requirements and cover economic and business uncertainties remains c.13.0%. This includes a management buffer of c.1%. The Board intends to pay down to the CET1 capital target of c.13.0% by the end of 2026.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (continued)

Total ECL allowance by scenario – underlying basis ^A

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

Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group's base case economic scenario has been updated to reflect events through to the balance sheet date, including ongoing geopolitical developments. The Group has included updated assumptions for energy prices and conflict-related impacts in its quarter-end base case conditioning assumptions.

Incorporating the economic data published in the third quarter of 2026, the Group's base case scenario is for an ongoing expansion in gross domestic product (GDP), modest gains in residential and commercial property prices alongside a small increase in the unemployment rate. Recent increases in energy prices imply increased inflationary pressures, warranting an upward adjustment in Bank Rate of 25 basis points in November 2026. However, the terminal rate assumption remains unchanged at 3.50%, reaching that level in the second half of 2028. Risks around this base case economic view lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

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 2025 Annual Report and Accounts. 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 of the third quarter of 2026. Actuals for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to publication and have not been included.

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.
