FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

The Group's statutory profit before tax for the first three months of 2023 was £2,068 million, £611 million higher than the same period in 2022. Higher total income was partly offset by higher operating expenses and the impact of an increased impairment charge. Profit for the period was £1,513 million (three months ended 31 March 2022: £1,050 million).

Total income for the first three months was £4,629 million, an increase of 21 per cent on 2022, primarily reflecting higher net interest income in the quarter.

Net interest income of £3,542 million was up 21 per cent on the prior year, driven by stronger margins and higher average interest-earning banking assets. Relative to the prior year, the net interest margin benefitted from the higher interest rate environment. Average interest-earning banking assets were higher compared to the first three months of 2022, supported by growth in the open mortgage book and Retail unsecured.

Other income was £199 million higher at £1,087 million in the three months ended 31 March 2023 compared to £888 million in the same period last year. Net fee and commission income increased to £322 million, compared to £301 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to higher card and other transaction-based income streams, reflecting improved levels of customer activity. Net trading income was £51 million higher at £142 million in the three months ended 31 March 2023, in part reflecting the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts in the banking book not mitigated through hedge accounting. Other operating income increased to £623 million compared to £496 million in the three months ended 31 March 2022 as a result of higher gains on the disposal of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Total operating expenses of £2,315 million were 6 per cent higher than in the prior year. This reflects higher planned strategic investment, new business costs and inflationary effects. In the first three months of 2023 the Group recognised remediation costs of £17 million in relation to pre-existing programmes (three months ended 31 March 2022: £33 million). There have been no further charges relating to HBOS Reading since the year end and the provision held continues to reflect the Group's best estimate of its full liability, albeit uncertainties remain. Following the FCA's Motor Market review, the Group continues to receive complaints and is engaging with the Financial Ombudsman Service in respect of historical motor commission arrangements. The remediation and financial impact, if any, is uncertain.

Impairment was a net charge of £246 million (three months ended 31 March 2022: £178 million). There was a pre-updated multiple economic scenarios (MES) charge of £324 million in the period (three months ended 31 March 2022: £151 million), reflecting the expected credit loss (ECL) allowance build from Stage 1 loans rolling forward into a more adverse economic outlook, as well as increased flows to default primarily driven by legacy UK mortgage portfolios and charges on existing Stage 3 clients in Commercial Banking. The Group also recognised a net £78 million MES credit (three months ended 31 March 2022: £27 million charge) as a result of the slightly improved economic outlook in the first quarter.

Modest observed deterioration has translated to a small underlying net increase in Stage 3 balances within UK mortgages (when excluding the impact from the exit of £2.5 billion of legacy Retail mortgage loans). Unsecured flow to default rates are essentially flat. Stage 2 loans and advances to customers decreased to £56 billion (31 December 2022: £60 billion) largely as a result of the updated economic outlook, with 94 per cent up to date (31 December 2022: 94 per cent). Stage 3 assets were £8 billion as at 31 March 2023 (31 December 2022: £8 billion).

The Group recognised a tax expense of £555 million in the period compared to £407 million in the first three months of 2022.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Balance sheet

Total assets were £740 million higher at £617,668 million at 31 March 2023 compared to £616,928 million at 31 December 2022. Cash and balances at central banks rose by £6,628 million to £78,633 million reflecting increased liquidity holdings. Financial assets at amortised cost were £7,925 million lower at £483,471 million compared to £491,396 million at 31 December 2022 with debt securities £2,001 million higher, offset by a reduction in reverse repurchase agreements of £7,960 million and loans and advances to customers of £2,663 million to £432,964 million. The reduction in loans and advances to customers largely resulted from the exit of £2.5 billion of legacy Retail mortgage loans (including £2.1 billion in the closed mortgage book), an additional reduction of £0.6 billion in the open mortgage book and repayments of government-backed lending in Commercial Banking, partly offset by £1.2 billion growth in other Retail lending, principally unsecured. Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income decreased £919 million as a result of asset sales during the quarter. Other assets increased £3,007 million, reflecting higher settlement balances and retirement benefit assets, partly offset by lower deferred tax assets.

Total liabilities were £2,607 million lower at £575,262 million compared to £577,869 million at 31 December 2022. Customer deposits at £441,729 million decreased by £4,443 million since the end of 2022 including a decrease in Retail current account balances of £3.5 billion from seasonal customer outflows, including tax payments, higher spend and a more competitive market, including from UK Government National Savings and Investments offers and the Group's own savings rates. Retail savings increased slightly during the quarter, capturing some of the movements from elsewhere in the deposit base. In addition, there were decreases in deposits from banks of £1,749 million and repurchase agreements at amortised cost of £1,254 million. Offsetting these reductions, debt securities in issue increased by £3,279 million following issuances during the quarter and other liabilities increased £1,234 million as a result of higher settlement balances.

Total equity increased from £39,059 million at 31 December 2022 to £42,406 million at 31 March 2023, as a result of the profit for the period, positive movements in the cash flow hedging reserve, pension scheme remeasurements, and issuances of other equity instruments.

Capital

The Group's common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio increased from 14.8 per cent at 31 December 2022 to 15.0 per cent at 31 March 2023. The increase largely reflected profits for the first three months of the year, partly offset by accelerated pension deficit contributions made to the Group's three main defined benefit pension schemes, phased reductions in IFRS 9 transitional relief and the acquisition of Hamsard 3352 Limited ("Tusker").

The Group's total capital ratio increased from 20.5 per cent at 31 December 2022 to 21.2 per cent at 31 March 2023 reflecting the increase in CET1 capital, the issuance of a new AT1 capital instrument and an increase in eligible provisions recognised through Tier 2 capital.

Risk-weighted assets have remained flat at £174.9 billion at 31 March 2023, largely reflecting capital efficient securitisation activity and other optimisation, offset by the growth in Retail unsecured lending and other movements. CRD IV model changes reflecting the revised regulatory standards introduced in 2022 remain subject to approval by the PRA with the resultant risk-weighted asset outcome dependent upon this. Further clarification is expected later this year. The Group expects an increase in risk-weighted assets from this clarification.

The Group's UK leverage ratio increased from 5.4 per cent at 31 December 2022 to 5.7 per cent at 31 March 2023 reflecting the increase in total tier 1 capital and a reduction in the leverage exposure measure principally related to a decrease in securities financing transactions.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION


1.   Basis of presentation

This release covers the results of Lloyds Bank plc together with its subsidiaries (the Group) for the three months ended 31 March 2023.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Group in its 2022 Annual Report and Accounts.


2.   Capital

The Group's Q1 2023 Interim Pillar 3 Report can be found at: www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/investors/financial-downloads.html.


3.   UK economic assumptions

Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group's updated base case scenario has three conditioning assumptions: first, the war in Ukraine remains contained within its borders; second, the financial stress emerging from some weak bank/insurer business models in the context of rising bond yields does not become systemic; and third, the Bank of England accommodates above-target inflation in the medium term, recognising the economic costs and financial stability risks that might arise from a rapid return to the two per cent target.

Based on these assumptions and incorporating the economic data published in the first quarter for 2023, the Group's base case scenario is for a mild contraction in economic activity and a modest rise in the unemployment rate alongside declines in residential and commercial property prices, following increases in UK Bank Rate in response to persistent inflationary pressures. Risks around this base case economic view lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

Base case scenario by quarter

Key quarterly assumptions made by the Group in the base case scenario are shown below. Gross domestic product 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.

1  The adjustment to UK Bank Rate and CPI inflation in the severe downside is considered to better reflect the risks around the Group's base case view in an economic environment where supply shocks are the principal concern.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy, plans and/or results of Lloyds Bank plc together with its subsidiaries (the Lloyds Bank Group) and its current goals and expectations. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about the Lloyds Bank Group's or its directors' and/or management's beliefs and expectations, are forward looking statements. Words such as, without limitation, 'believes', 'achieves', 'anticipates', 'estimates', 'expects', 'targets', 'should', 'intends', 'aims', 'projects', 'plans', 'potential', 'will', 'would', 'could', 'considered', 'likely', 'may', 'seek', 'estimate', 'probability', 'goal', 'objective', 'deliver', 'endeavour', 'prospects', 'optimistic' and similar expressions or variations on these expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. These statements concern or may affect future matters, including but not limited to: projections or expectations of the Lloyds Bank Group's future financial position, including profit attributable to shareholders, provisions, economic profit, dividends, capital structure, portfolios, net interest margin, capital ratios, liquidity, risk-weighted assets (RWAs), expenditures or any other financial items or ratios; litigation, regulatory and governmental investigations; the Lloyds Bank Group's future financial performance; the level and extent of future impairments and write-downs; the Lloyds Bank Group's ESG targets and/or commitments; statements of plans, objectives or goals of the Lloyds Bank Group or its management and other statements that are not historical fact; expectations about the impact of COVID-19; and statements of assumptions underlying such statements. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Factors that could cause actual business, strategy, plans and/or results (including but not limited to the payment of dividends) to differ materially from forward looking statements include, but are not limited to: general economic and business conditions in the UK and internationally; political instability including as a result of any UK general election and any further possible referendum on Scottish independence; acts of hostility or terrorism and responses to those acts, or other such events; geopolitical unpredictability; the war between Russia and Ukraine; the tensions between China and Taiwan; market related risks, trends and developments; exposure to counterparty risk; instability in the global financial markets, including within the Eurozone, and as a result of the exit by the UK from the European Union (EU) and the effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement; the ability to access sufficient sources of capital, liquidity and funding when required; changes to the Lloyds Bank Group's or Lloyds Banking Group plc's credit ratings; fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, stock markets and currencies; volatility in credit markets; volatility in the price of the Lloyds Bank Group's securities; tightening of monetary policy in jurisdictions in which the Lloyds Bank Group operates; natural pandemic (including but not limited to the COVID-19 pandemic) and other disasters; risks concerning borrower and counterparty credit quality; longevity risks affecting defined benefit pension schemes; risks related to the uncertainty surrounding the integrity and continued existence of reference rates; changes in laws, regulations, practices and accounting standards or taxation; changes to regulatory capital or liquidity requirements and similar contingencies; the policies and actions of governmental or regulatory authorities or courts together with any resulting impact on the future structure of the Lloyds Bank Group; risks associated with the Lloyds Bank Group's compliance with a wide range of laws and regulations; assessment related to resolution planning requirements; risks related to regulatory actions which may be taken in the event of a bank or Lloyds Bank Group or Lloyds Banking Group failure; exposure to legal, regulatory or competition proceedings, investigations or complaints; failure to comply with anti-money laundering, counter terrorist financing, anti-bribery and sanctions regulations; failure to prevent or detect any illegal or improper activities; operational risks; conduct risk; technological changes and risks to the security of IT and operational infrastructure, systems, data and information resulting from increased threat of cyber and other attacks; technological failure; inadequate or failed internal or external processes or systems; risks relating to ESG matters, such as climate change (and achieving climate change ambitions), including the Lloyds Bank Group's or the Lloyds Banking Group's ability along with the government and other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively, and human rights issues; the impact of competitive conditions; failure to attract, retain and develop high calibre talent; the ability to achieve strategic objectives; the ability to derive cost savings and other benefits including, but without limitation, as a result of any acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions; inability to capture accurately the expected value from acquisitions; and assumptions and estimates that form the basis of the Lloyds Bank Group's financial statements. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Lloyds Bank Group's control. Please refer to the latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed by Lloyds Bank plc with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, for a discussion of certain factors and risks. Lloyds Bank plc may also make or disclose written and/or oral forward-looking statements in other written materials and in oral statements made by the directors, officers or employees of Lloyds Bank plc to third parties, including financial analysts. Except as required by any applicable law or regulation, the forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of today's date, and the Lloyds Bank Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward looking statements contained in this document whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The information, statements and opinions contained in this document do not constitute a public offer under any applicable law or an offer to sell any securities or financial instruments or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities or financial instruments.
