BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This report covers the results of Lloyds Banking Group plc together
with its subsidiaries (the Group) for the three months ended 31
March 2015.
Statutory basis
Statutory information is set out on page 9. However, a number of
factors have had a significant effect on the comparability of the
Group's financial position and results. As a result, comparison
on a statutory basis of the 2015 results with 2014 is of limited
benefit.
Underlying basis
In order to present a more meaningful view of business performance,
the results are presented on an underlying basis excluding items
that in Management's view could distort the comparison of performance
between periods. Based on this principle, the following items are
excluded from underlying profit:
* the amortisation of purchased intangible assets and
the unwind of acquisition-related fair value
adjustments;
* the effects of certain asset sales and other items;
* volatility relating to the insurance business and
insurance gross up;
* Simplification costs, TSB build and dual running
costs and the loss relating to the TSB sale;
* payment protection insurance and other regulatory
provisions; and
* certain past service pensions items in respect of the
Group's defined benefit pension schemes.
Unless otherwise stated, income statement commentaries throughout
this document compare the three months ended 31 March 2015 to the
three months ended 31 March 2014, and the balance sheet analysis
compares the Group balance sheet as at 31 March 2015 to the Group
balance sheet as at 31 December 2014.
TSB
On 24 March 2015 the Group sold a 9.99 per cent interest in TSB
reducing its holding to 40 per cent. This sale resulted in a loss
of control over TSB and its deconsolidation. The Group's 40 per
cent interest in TSB has been reported as an asset held for sale
at fair value within 'other assets' in the Group balance sheet
as at 31 March 2015. The Group's results for the quarter include
TSB. Any TSB disclosures in the document are presented on a Lloyds
Banking Group basis and may differ to the equivalent figures disclosed
in the TSB results release.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
In 2015 we celebrate the 250th anniversary of Lloyds Bank and the 200th anniversary of Scottish Widows. In the first quarter of this milestone year we made further strategic progress. We have delivered a significant improvement to underlying profitability and balance sheet strength while at the same time continuing to support and benefit from UK economic growth.
Strong financial progress
Underlying profit increased by 21 per cent to GBP2,178 million, driven by increased income and lower impairments, and our underlying return on required equity improved to 16.0 per cent from 13.0 per cent. Statutory profit before tax was GBP1,214 million compared with GBP1,369 million in 2014. Our balance sheet position has strengthened further, with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 13.4 per cent and a leverage ratio of 5.0 per cent, up from 12.8 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively at the end of 2014.
Continuing to support our customers and the UK economy
We are making excellent progress on our lending commitments as outlined in our Helping Britain Prosper Plan. In UK housing we continue to be the largest lender to first-time buyers, providing one in four mortgages, and lending GBP2.2 billion in the first three months of the year. Through our commitment to the commercial sector, we have supported over 23,000 business start-ups and remain the largest participant in the Funding for Lending Scheme.
Strong start to the next phase of our strategic journey
In October 2014 we outlined three strategic priorities to take us through to the end of 2017: creating the best customer experience; becoming simpler and more efficient; and delivering sustainable growth.
On creating the best customer experience, we continue to invest in our customer propositions including new digital initiatives such as Halifax Car Plan Extra, which allows customers to access a range of car financing options online. In addition, customers can now apply for a new credit card using a mobile device and youth customers are able to manage their accounts online.
We continue to make good progress on becoming simpler and more efficient. Our cost:income ratio was 47.7 per cent and we remain on track to deliver a full year reduction against the 2014 position of 49.8 per cent. Delivering sustainable growth is a key element in supporting customers and the UK economy. Over the last 12 months we have lent an additional net GBP6.3 billion to our key customer segments, including GBP1.1 billion to SMEs.
TSB disposal and UK government trading plan
We agreed the sale of our remaining stake in TSB to Banco de Sabadell in the first quarter and as part of this agreement we sold 9.99 per cent of our stake in March. The full disposal of TSB will enable us to meet our commitment to the European Commission ahead of the mandated deadline.
Our strong performance in the first quarter has also enabled the UK government to continue to reduce its holding in the business, further enabling our return to full private ownership. Following the announcement in December 2014 of a plan to carry out a measured and orderly sell down of shares over the first half of 2015, the UK government's stake is now 20.95 per cent, less than half its original stake.
Well positioned to make further progress in 2015
I am confident that the successful delivery of our strategy through our simple, low risk, customer focused, UK retail and commercial banking business model will enable us to become the best bank for customers and deliver strong and sustainable returns for shareholders. It also remains our intention to pay an interim and a final dividend for 2015.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Overview: strong underlying profitability and balance sheet
The Group's underlying profit increased by 21 per cent in the first three months of 2015 to GBP2,178 million, driven by an improvement in income and lower impairments. Statutory profit before tax was GBP1,214 million compared with GBP1,369 million, after a charge of GBP660 million relating to the disposal of TSB and the statutory profit after tax was GBP944 million.
Total loans and advances to customers were GBP455 billion at 31 March 2015, 5 per cent lower than at 31 December 2014, principally reflecting the sale of TSB. Customer deposits were GBP419 billion, 6 per cent down since 31 December 2014, also largely as a result of the sale of TSB.
The combination of strong underlying profitability and a 2 per cent reduction in risk-weighted assets (again mostly due to the sale of TSB) resulted in a 0.6 percentage point improvement in the Group's common equity tier 1 ratio to 13.4 per cent at 31 March 2015 (31 December 2014: 12.8 per cent). This was after a net 0.2 percentage point decrease as a result of the agreed TSB disposal. Our leverage ratio improved to 5.0 per cent (31 December 2014: 4.9 per cent).
Excluding TSB and other portfolios, loans and advances have increased by 2 per cent since the end of March 2014. We continue to see growth in mortgages, SME lending, Mid Markets and UK Consumer Finance, partly offset by a reduction in lending to Global Corporate clients.

Total net interest income of GBP3,021 million increased by 7 per cent over the last 12 months and 3 per cent in the last quarter, reflecting continued improvement in net interest margin, partly offset by the reduced Run-off portfolio.
The net interest margin increased to 2.65 per cent, up 33 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2014 and 18 basis points compared with the fourth quarter of 2014. These improvements reflect the disposal of lower margin run-off assets as well as the continued benefits of reduced funding and liability costs, partly offset by lower asset pricing. In addition, the strengthening of the margin relative to the first quarter of 2014 reflects the benefit of the Enhanced Capital Note (ECN) exchanges last year, while the uplift relative to the fourth quarter has also been partly driven by the absence of the one-off effects from the decision to simplify the savings product range.
In light of the strong trend in the first quarter and our future expectations, we now expect our full year net interest margin to exceed our original guidance of 2.55 per cent.
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (continued)
Total other income at GBP1,623 million was 6 per cent lower than the same period of 2014 with the reduction primarily reflecting the disposal of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership in the first quarter of 2014 and lower Retail fees and commissions.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, total other income increased by 5 per cent, led by Retail, following a weak last three months of 2014, and Commercial Banking. We continue to expect other income to be broadly stable for the full year 2015.

(1) Operating lease depreciation deducted from income and costs and
excluding TSB income and running costs.
Total costs were flat compared to the first quarter of 2014 with increased investment in the business offset by the benefits of Simplification.
The cost:income ratio of 47.7 per cent in the first quarter has improved compared with both the first and fourth quarters of 2014 (49.3 per cent and 54.9 per cent respectively). This reflects the combined effects of higher income and a stable cost base. The improvement in the ratio relative to the fourth quarter also reflects the timing of the bank levy which was GBP254 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. We continue to target year-on-year reductions in our cost:income ratio which was 49.8 per cent for the full year 2014 and 48.2 per cent excluding the bank levy.

The impairment charge continues to improve and was down 59 per cent from the first quarter of 2014 to GBP177 million. The improvement reflects lower levels of new impairment as a result of effective risk management, the reduction in the size of the Run-off portfolio, improving economic conditions and the continued low interest rate environment.
Given the lower impairment charge and future expectations, we now expect the full year asset quality ratio will be around 25 basis points (previously around 30 basis points). Impaired loans as a percentage of advances fell from 2.9 per cent (3.0 per cent excluding TSB) at 31 December 2014 to 2.8 per cent, driven by reductions within both the continuing and the Run-off portfolios. Provisions as a percentage of impaired loans increased from 56.4 per cent at 31 December 2014 to 57.1 per cent.

Profit for the period 944 1,162 (19) 107

Asset sales and volatility
Asset sales and volatility was GBP18 million compared with GBP260 million in 2014. This principally reflects the change in the value of the ECN embedded derivative (a charge of GBP65 million compared to a gain of GBP204 million in the three months to 31 March 2014) and a GBP105 million gain on the disposal of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership that was recognised in the first quarter of 2014. This was partly offset by positive insurance and banking volatility of GBP72 million (31 March 2014: negative volatility of GBP108 million).
Fair value unwind
The fair value unwind of GBP129 million was lower than the equivalent figure of GBP140 million in 2014, principally reflecting the maturity profile of the subordinated debt acquired as part of the HBOS acquisition.
TSB
TSB dual running costs in the quarter were GBP85 million and there was a net charge of GBP660 million relating to the sale of TSB. The charge reflects the net costs of the Transitional Service Agreement between Lloyds and TSB, the contribution to be provided by Lloyds to TSB in migrating to an alternative IT platform and the gain on sale. This charge differs from the original estimate of GBP640 million given in the announcement on 20 March 2015, with the increase primarily reflecting TSB performance in the first quarter. The capital impact of the disposal at 31 March 2015 is a net 0.2 percentage point decrease in the Group's common equity tier 1 capital ratio and a further decrease of 0.1 percentage points is expected on completion of the transaction.
TSB has now been deconsolidated and going forward will no longer be reflected in our income statement.
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (continued)
PPI
There has been no further provision for PPI in the first quarter. Reactive complaint volumes are 11 per cent lower than the first quarter of 2014 but slightly above our expectations and marginally higher than the fourth quarter of 2014 due to seasonality.
Remediation and past business reviews are progressing in line with our expectations. As a result, cash payments for the first quarter total GBP836 million and are higher than the fourth quarter of 2014, although we continue to expect these costs to reduce significantly in the second half of the year. Our remaining GBP1.7 billion provision continues to represent the Group's best estimate of total future costs but a number of risks and uncertainties remain, in particular the total expected future complaint volumes.
Taxation
The tax charge for the quarter was GBP270 million representing an effective tax rate of 22 per cent. This compared with 15 per cent in the first quarter of 2014, which reflected tax exempt gains on the sales of businesses, including Scottish Widows Investment Partnership.

The Group's liquidity position remains strong with primary liquid assets of GBP101 billion and a further GBP102 billion of secondary liquid assets. Primary liquid assets represent over five times our money-market funding with a maturity of less than one year, and more than two times our total short-term wholesale funding.
The Group continued to strengthen its capital position, with its common equity tier 1 capital ratio increasing from 12.8 per cent to 13.4 per cent in the quarter, despite a net 0.2 percentage point decrease as a result of the agreed TSB disposal. The overall improvement was driven by a combination of underlying profit and a reduction in risk-weighted assets that largely reflected the partial deconsolidation of TSB in accordance with the prescribed regulatory treatment.
The leverage ratio increased from 4.9 per cent to 5.0 per cent, largely as a result of both the increase in common equity tier 1 capital and the partial deconsolidation of TSB.
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (continued)
Enhanced Capital Notes (ECNs)
On 31 March, the Group announced that it had received permission from the Prudential Regulation Authority for the redemption of certain series of ECNs. It also confirmed that the Group had been notified by the Trustee that it would seek a declaratory judgement in respect of the interpretation of certain terms of the ECNs. An expedited process has been agreed with the Trustee and the court hearing is expected to take place during the week commencing 18 May 2015. On this basis, the Group has decided to defer exercising the redemption of these ECNs for the time-being. A further update on the redemption of the ECNs will be provided in due course.
Conclusion
The Group has delivered a strong underlying performance in the first three months of 2015 and has continued to strengthen its balance sheet. We have improved or reconfirmed all our guidance, and are well positioned for further progress in 2015.
