Use of non-GAAP financial measures
Our reported results are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as
detailed in the Financial Statements starting on page 101. In
measuring our performance, the financial measures that we use
include those which have been derived from our reported results in
order to eliminate factors which distort period-on-period
comparisons. These are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures that we use throughout this Interim
Report 2016 are described below. Non-GAAP financial measures are
described and reconciled to the closest reported financial measure
when used.
Adjusted performance
Adjusted performance is computed by adjusting reported results
for the period-on-period effects of foreign currency translation
differences and significant items which distort period-on-period
comparisons.
We use 'significant items' to collectively describe the group of
individual adjustments that are excluded from reported results when
arriving at adjusted performance. These items, which are detailed
below, are ones that management and investors would ordinarily
identify and consider separately when assessing performance in
order to better understand underlying trends in the business.
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.
Foreign currency translation differences
Foreign currency translation differences reflect the movements
of the US dollar against most major currencies for 1H16. We exclude
the translation differences when deriving constant currency data
because using these data allows us to assess balance sheet and
income statement performance on a like-for-like basis to better
understand the underlying trends in the business.

In 1H16, we recorded $974m of net interest income in Brazil
(1H15: $1,214m; 2H15: $1,011m) and average interest earning assets
were $37,390m (1H15: $43,684m; 2H15: $36,409m).
Reported net interest income of $15.8bn decreased by $0.7bn or
4% compared with 1H15. This included the significant items and
currency translation summarised in the table below.
On a reported basis, net interest margin of 1.83% fell by 9
basis points ('bps'), driven by currency movements. On
1 July 2016, we completed the sale of our operations in Brazil.
During 1H16, our net interest margin excluding our operations in
Brazil was 1.75%, 8 basis points ('bps') lower than the group's
total net interest margin for this period, reflecting the impact of
relatively higher interest rates in Brazil compared with the rest
of our portfolio.

Excluding the currency impact tabulated above, net interest
income rose $0.3bn, as increases in Hong Kong, Mexico and Argentina
were partly offset by a reduction in the UK and mainland China.
However, net interest spread and margin decreased slightly. This
was due to a number of factors, including reduced yields on
customer lending in Europe and increased costs of debt issued by
HSBC Holdings, although we benefited from lower costs of funds on
customer accounts in Hong Kong and increased yields in Mexico and
Argentina.
Interest income
Reported interest income fell by $1.0bn compared with 1H15,
notably driven by currency movements in Latin
America and Europe. Excluding these, total interest income rose
by $0.6bn, notably in Mexico, Argentina and the US. Interest income
also rose in our operations in Brazil, although this was more than
offset by an increase in interest expense.
Interest income on loans and advances to customers was higher.
In Mexico and Argentina, this was due to higher yields following
central bank interest rate rises. In Europe, the increase was
mainly driven by balance growth in term lending in the UK despite
lower yields on mortgages in line with competitive pricing, and the
effect of downward movements in market interest rates in the
eurozone. In Asia, although yields on lending increased marginally
in Hong Kong and Singapore, customer lending income was broadly
unchanged as the increase in yields was offset by the impact
HSBC HOLDINGS PLC

Financial summary (continued)
of central bank rate decreases in various countries, notably
mainland China, and from a decrease in average balances. However,
in North America, interest income from customer lending fell from
continued run-off and sales in the US CML run-off portfolio.
Interest income on short-term funds and financial investments
marginally increased. This was driven by a change in product mix in
North America towards higher-yielding, mortgage-backed securities
in order to maximise the effectiveness of the portfolio and, to a
lesser extent, in Argentina from balance growth. These increases
were partly offset by reductions in Europe from lower yields.
Interest income on reverse repurchase agreements - non--trading
was higher, driven by higher balances and market rates in North
America.
Interest expense
Reported interest expense fell by $0.3bn compared with 1H15
driven by currency translation, primarily in Latin America and
Europe.
Excluding this, interest expense rose $0.4bn as decreases in
Asia were partly offset by an increase in cost in North America,
Europe and Argentina.
Interest expense on customer accounts fell despite growth in
average balances. This reflected a change in mix towards lower cost
accounts in Hong Kong and central bank rate reductions in a number
of markets, notably mainland China and Australia. This was partly
offset by higher interest expense on customer accounts in North
America, in line with promotional deposit offerings, and in
Argentina from central bank rate rises.
Interest expense on debt issued rose, due to a rise in the cost
of funds, despite a fall in average balances as redemptions across
the Group were more than offset by issuances of senior debt from
HSBC Holdings plc. The increase in the cost of debt was driven by a
combination of market sentiment as well as longer maturities and
the structural subordination of our new issuances. In addition,
Interest expense rose on repos, notably in North America,
reflecting higher balances and market rates.

On an adjusted basis, net fee income decreased by $844m, driven
by a reduction in Hong Kong, primarily within RBWM. This partly
reflected the effect of weaker equity markets and
risk-averse investor sentiment in Asia. Net fee income also
decreased in Switzerland within GPB.
HSBC HOLDINGS PLC
21
Fee income from broking and unit trusts fell by $443m, compared
with a strong performance in 1H15. The decrease was mainly in Hong
Kong, driven by lower securities broking income and falling fund
sales in RBWM, in part reflecting a reduction in stock market
turnover of 46%.
Fee income from funds under management also decreased, by $108m.
This was partly driven by lower fees in our Global Asset Management
business in RBWM following a reduction in funds under management
balances as a result of adverse market conditions, notably in
Europe. Fee income from funds under management also decreased in
Switzerland in GPB.

1H15 on assets held as economic hedges of foreign currency debt
designated at fair value. Both these movements were offset by
adverse movements on foreign currency debt designated at fair value
in 'Net income from financial instruments designated at fair
value'.
Excluding these movements, trading income decreased by $0.6bn,
primarily in GB&M. Income decreased in Equities and Foreign
Exchange, due to market volatility that led to reduced client
activity. This was partly offset by an increase in revenue from our
Rates business which benefited from increased client activity.

On an adjusted basis, which excludes changes in our own credit
spread and the net adverse effect of currency translation shown
above, net income from financial instruments designated at fair
value decreased by $2.5bn.
Net income from financial assets held to meet liabilities under
insurance and investment contracts of $209m was $1.4bn lower than
in 1H15. This was primarily driven by weaker equity markets in
France, Hong Kong and the UK.
The $1.4bn change was, however, broadly offset by 'liabilities
to customers under investment contracts', and by 'Net insurance
claims and benefits paid and movements in liabilities to
policyholders' which are described on page 26.
Investment gains or losses arising from equity markets result in
a corresponding movement in liabilities to customers. This reflects
the extent to which unit-linked policyholders, in particular,
participate in the investment performance of the associated asset
portfolio.
Where the gains or losses are recorded depends on the contract
type. When gains or losses relate to assets held to back investment
contracts, the corresponding movement in liabilities to customers
is recorded in 'Net income/(expense) from financial instruments
designated at fair value'.
When gains or losses related to assets held to back insurance
contracts or investment contracts with discretionary participation
features ('DPF'), any corresponding movement
HSBC HOLDINGS PLC
23
in liabilities to customers is recorded in 'Net insurance claims
and benefits paid and movement in liabilities to policyholders',
which is detailed on page 26.
Other changes in fair value on our long-term debt and related
derivatives primarily reflected:
-- In GB&M, adverse movements of $1.3bn, compared to favourable movements of $0.6bn in 1H15,
on foreign
currency debt designated at fair value and issued as part of our
overall funding strategy (offset by assets held as economic hedges
in 'Net trading income').
This was partly offset by:
-- In 'Other', favourable fair value movements of $0.4bn, compared with minimal movements in
1H15, relating to the economic hedging of interest and exchange rate risk on our long-term
debt.

market in 2014, and lower participating contract premiums in
France.
In Asia, increased premiums in Singapore and Hong Kong on

Excluding the significant items and currency translation
tabulated above, other operating income decreased by $172m compared
with 1H15. This was primarily from lower favourable movements in
present value of in-force ('PVIF') long-term insurance business and
minimal movement in valuations on investment properties compared
with gains in 1H15, mainly in Asia.
The lower favourable movement in PVIF in 2016 was primarily
driven by decreasing yields in France, partly offset by the
favourable effects of changes to interest rate assumptions in
Singapore.
In addition, 1H15 included a change in interest rate assumption
in France which had the effect of increasing PVIF.

Excluding the effects of currency translation, net insurance
claims and benefits paid and movements in liabilities to
policyholders were $0.8bn lower than in 1H15.
This reduction was primarily in Europe, and to a lesser extent
Hong Kong, reflecting a decrease in returns on financial assets
supporting liabilities to policyholders where the policyholder is
exposed to investment risk. This decrease in returns reflected
weaker equity market performance in France, Hong Kong and the
UK.
Other drivers were reduced surrenders in Hong Kong and the
impact of the sale of the UK pensions business in 2015. These
reductions were partly offset by increases in liabilities to
policyholders in Singapore, as a result of changes to interest rate
assumptions.
The gains or losses recognised on the financial assets
designated at fair value that are held to support these insurance
contract liabilities are reported in 'Net income from financial
instruments designated at fair value' on page 23.

=========================== --------- ------ ------
Excluding the effects of currency translation, LICs were $1.1bn
higher than in 1H15. This was due to an increase in Brazil (up by
$346m) reflecting a deterioration in local economic conditions, as
well as higher individually assessed charges in a small number of
countries, notably in the oil and gas sector.
On an adjusted basis, individually assessed LICs were $1.3bn, an
increase of $822m compared with 1H15. This primarily reflected
increases in our GB&M and CMB businesses and included the
following:
-- In North America (up by $495m), individually assessed LICs increased in our GB&M business
in the US. This was primarily related to a significant specific charge on a mining related
corporate exposure, as well as charges in the oil and gas sector. In addition, individually
assessed LICs also increased in CMB in both Canada and the US, mainly in the oil and gas sector.
-- In Asia (up by $125m), individually assessed charges increased, notably in our GB&M business
in Australia, primarily driven by a small number of charges related to metals and mining exposures.
In addition, the comparative period benefited from a release of allowances in Hong Kong.
-- In Europe (up by $140m), individually assessed charges increased. This was mainly in the UK
in our RBWM business due to net charges on individually assessed mortgage balances, compared
with a net release in 1H15. Also, in Spain there were higher charges in CMB related to the
construction sector.
-- In Latin America (up by $47m), individually assessed charges increased, primarily in Brazil
due to the deterioration of economic conditions.
On an adjusted basis, collectively assessed LICs rose by $173m,
mainly in RBWM and, to a lesser extent, in CMB. The increase arose
from:
-- In Latin America collectively assessed LICs increased by $281m. This was mainly in Brazil
(up by $217m) in both our RBWM and CMB businesses, where delinquency rates increased following
the deterioration of economic conditions. In addition, LICs rose in Mexico in our RBWM business
in line with our strategic focus on growing unsecured lending.
This was partly offset by:
-- In North America (down by $45m) LICs decreased in our CMB and GB&M businesses as collectively
assessed provisions related to the oil and gas sector were replaced with individually assessed
LICs against specific clients in this sector (as discussed earlier). This was partly offset
by an increase in our RBWM US CML run-off portfolio.
-- In Europe, collectively assessed LICs decreased by $26m, mainly our RBWM business. This reflected
a reduction in Turkey from favourable credit performance on unsecured lending, as well as
net release of allowances in Greece. This was partly offset by an increase in our CMB business
in the UK, primarily reflecting new allowances against exposures in the oil and gas sector.

In 1H16, we recorded net impairment allowances on
available-for-sale debt securities compared with net releases
in 1H15. Both primarily related to asset-backed securities

Reported operating expenses of $18.6bn were $0.6bn or 3% lower
than in 1H15, which included an impairment of $0.8bn relating to
the goodwill in our GPB business in Europe (please see Note 20 for
further details). The lower operating
expenses benefited from the favourable effects of currency
translation of $1.0bn, partly offset by a $1.1bn increase in
significant items.

On an adjusted basis, operating expenses of $15.9bn were $0.7bn
lower than in 1H15, despite inflationary pressures and increases in
regulatory programmes and compliance costs. This primarily
reflected transformational cost savings of $0.9bn achieved in 1H16.
On a run-rate basis, we are now approximately 40% of the way
towards achieving the cost savings target we committed to in our
Investor Update in June 2015.
Run-the-bank costs of $14.6bn were $0.3bn lower than in 1H15 and
change-the-bank costs of $1.5bn were $0.3bn lower than in 1H15.
This reflected the following factors:
-- In RBWM, costs were $0.3bn lower, reflecting the effects of our transformational cost initiatives,
which included our branch optimisation programme.
-- In GB&M, costs were $0.2bn lower, reflecting lower performance-related costs, primarily in
Europe and Asia, and the effects of our transformational cost initiatives, including significantly
lower headcount and better use of our shared global service centres.
-- In GPB, costs were $0.1bn lower, reflecting a fall in staff costs from lower FTEs, primarily
in Europe and Asia.
-- In CMB, costs remained broadly unchanged due to strong cost discipline and delivery of transformation
initiatives, including a more simplified organisation structure and process optimisation within
our lending, on-boarding and servicing platforms.
-- The cost savings in the global businesses noted above were also supported by the benefits
of transformational activities in our technology, operations and other functions, primarily
from process automation and organisational re-design.
Included within the above, our total expenditure on regulatory
programmes and compliance, comprising both run-the-bank and
change-the-bank elements, was $1.5bn, up $0.2bn or 14% from 1H15.
This reflected the continued implementation of our Global Standards
programme to enhance our financial crime risk controls and
capabilities, and to meet our external commitments.
Excluding investment in regulatory programmes and compliance,
and credits relating to the prior year bank levy in both periods,
adjusted operating expenses declined by $0.8bn or 5% compared with
1H15.
The number of employees expressed in FTEs at 30 June 2016 was
251,336, a decrease of 3,867 from 31 December 2015. This was driven
by reductions in global businesses and global functions, partly
offset by investment related to financial crime risk of 540 FTEs,
and cost-to-achieve FTEs of 3,918.

Movement from 31 December 2015 to 30 June 2016
Total reported assets of $2.6tn were 8% higher than at 31
December 2015 on a reported basis and 11% higher on a constant
currency basis. This was driven by increased derivative assets and
trading assets, notably settlement accounts.
Our ratio of customer advances to customer accounts was 69%.
Loans and advances to customers fell on a reported basis while
customer accounts increased on a reported basis. These changes
included:
-- adverse currency translation movement of $24bn on loans and advances to customers and $31bn
on customer accounts; and
-- an $8bn reduction in corporate overdraft and current account balances relating to a small
number of clients in our Global Liquidity and Cash Management business in the UK who settled
their overdraft and deposit balances on a net basis, with these customers increasing the frequency
with which they settled their positions.
Excluding these movements, customer lending decreased by $5bn,
partly due to reductions in our legacy portfolios.
Assets
Derivative assets increased by $81bn or 28%, driven by valuation
movements in interest rate contracts, reflecting downward shifts in
major yield curves, notably in the UK and to a lesser extent in
France.
Trading assets increased by $55bn, driven by higher settlement
account balances in Europe and North America and an increase in
holding of debt securities, primarily in Asia. By contrast, Europe
was affected by decreases in equity securities.
Reverse repurchase agreements - non-trading increased by $42bn,
notably in Europe and North America, the latter reflecting
deployment of surplus liquidity from cash balances.
Loans and advances to customers decreased by $37bn on a reported
basis, driven by Europe and to a lesser extent Asia. This
included:
HSBC HOLDINGS PLC
32
Financial summary (continued)
-- adverse currency translation movements of $24bn; and
-- an $8bn reduction in corporate overdraft balances in Europe, with a corresponding fall in
corporate customer accounts.
Excluding these factors, customer lending balances decreased by
$5bn, partly reflecting our strategic focus on reducing our legacy
portfolio. In North America this included a $5.7bn transfer to
'Assets held for sale' of US first lien mortgage balances in RBWM.
We disposed of most of these transferred loans during 1H16.
Balances also fell in Asia by $6bn, although they stabilised in
the second quarter of 2016. Lending fell in CMB by $5bn, notably in
Hong Kong and Singapore, particularly in trade lending. The fall in
Hong Kong reflected weakened client demand and corporates in
mainland China reverting back to mainland China from Hong Kong for
financing as interest rates between Hong Kong and mainland China
narrowed. By contrast, balances increased in Europe by $8bn,
primarily reflecting higher term lending in CMB and GB&M,
notably in the UK.
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities increased by $87bn in line with the
movements of derivative assets as the underlying risk was broadly
matched.
Trading liabilities increased by $47bn, primarily in Europe and
North America, partly driven by an increase in settlement
accounts.
Customer accounts were broadly in line with balances at 31
December 2015 and included:
-- adverse currency translation movements of $31bn; and
-- an $8bn reduction in corporate current account balances, in line with a fall in corporate
overdraft positions.
Excluding these factors, customer accounts grew by $38bn, mainly
in the UK, driven by increases in GB&M and RBWM, and in Hong
Kong, notably in RBWM.
Equity
Total shareholders' equity was broadly unchanged. The effects of
profits generated in the period and the issue of new contingent
convertible securities of $2.0bn were broadly offset by the effects
of dividends paid and an increase in accumulated foreign exchange
losses. Movements in the foreign exchange reserves reflected the
depreciation of sterling against the US dollar, although this was
partly offset by appreciation in other currencies, including the
euro and Canadian dollar.

Risk-weighted assets
Risk-weighted assets totalled $1,082bn at 30 June 2016, a
decrease of $21bn or 2% from 31 December 2015, reflecting targeted
RWA initiatives and the effects of currency translation, partly
offset by balance sheet growth and RWA increases as a result of
credit quality deterioration. In 1H16, RWA initiatives resulted in
a reduction of $48bn and included asset sales in the GB&M
legacy and US CML run-off portfolios, reduced exposures, refined
calculations and process improvements.

Reconciliation of RoRWA measures
Performance management
We target a return on average ordinary shareholders' equity of greater than 10%. For internal
management purposes we monitor global businesses and geographical regions by pre-tax return
on average risk-weighted assets ('RoRWA'), a metric which combines return on equity and regulatory
capital efficiency objectives. This metric is calibrated against return on equity ('ROE')
and capital requirements to ensure that we are best placed to achieve capital strength and
business profitability combined with regulatory capital efficiency objectives.
In addition to the pre-tax return on average risk-weighted
assets ('RoRWA'), we measure our performance internally using the
non-GAAP measure of adjusted RoRWA, which is adjusted profit before
tax as a percentage of average risk-weighted assets adjusted for
the effects of foreign currency translation differences and
significant items. Excluded from adjusted RoRWA are certain items
which distort period-on-period performance as explained on page
18.

Summary
HSBC reviews operating activity on a number of bases, including
by geographical region and by global business.
We present global businesses followed by geographical regions
because certain strategic themes, business initiatives and trends
affect more than one geographical region.
Basis of preparation
The results of our global businesses are presented in accordance with the accounting policies
used in the preparation of HSBC's consolidated financial statements. Our operations are closely
integrated and, accordingly, the presentation of global business data includes internal allocations
of certain items of income and expense. These allocations include the costs of some support
services and global functions to the extent that they can be meaningfully attributed to operational
business lines. While such allocations have been made on a systematic and consistent basis,
they necessarily involve a degree of subjectivity. Those costs which are not allocated to
global businesses are included in 'Other'.
Where relevant, income and expense amounts presented include the results of inter-segment
funding as well as inter-company and inter-business line transactions. All such transactions
are undertaken on arm's length terms.
The expense of the UK bank levy is included in the Europe geographical region as we regard
the levy as a cost of being headquartered in the UK. For the purposes of the segmentation
by global businesses, the cost of the levy is included in 'Other'.

RBWM comprises the Principal RBWM business and the US run-off
portfolio. We believe that highlighting Principal RBWM (and its
constituent business streams, Banking Operations, Insurance
Manufacturing and Asset Management) allows management to identify
more readily the causes of material changes from year to year in
the
ongoing business and to assess the factors and trends that are
expected to have a material effect on the business in future
years.
Insurance manufacturing for RBWM excludes other global
businesses which contribute net operating income of $199m in 1H16
(1H15: $189m; 2H15: $97m) and profit before tax of

Analysis by country 50
=============================
Summary
HSBC reviews operating activity on a number of bases, including
by geographical region and by global business.
In the analysis of profit and loss by geographical region that
follows, operating income and operating expenses include intra-HSBC
items of $1,615m (1H15: $1,564m; 2H15: $1,811m).
All tables are on a reported basis unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The results of the geographical regions are presented in accordance with the accounting policies
used in the preparation of HSBC's consolidated financial statements. Our operations are closely
integrated, and accordingly, the presentation of the geographical data includes internal allocation
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 geographical
regions. While such allocations have been done on a systematic and consistent basis, they
necessarily involve a degree of subjectivity.
Where relevant, income and expense amounts presented include the results of inter-segment
funding along with inter-company transactions. All such transactions are undertaken on an
arm's length basis.
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.

Footnotes to pages 2 to 58
1 Net interest income includes the cost of internally funding trading assets, while the related
revenues are reported in net trading income. In our global business results, the total cost
of funding trading assets is included within GB&M's net trading income as an interest expense.
In the statutory presentation, internal interest income and expense are eliminated.
2 Gross interest yield is the average annualised interest rate earned on average interest-earning
assets ('AIEA').
3 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.
4 Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as an annualised percentage of AIEA.
5 Our operations in Brazil are classified as held for sale, with balance sheet accounts classified
to 'assets held for sale' and 'liabilities of disposal groups held for sale'. There is no
separate income statement classification.
6 Adjusted RoRWA is calculated using adjusted pre-tax return and adjusted average RWAs. RoRWAs
are calculated using annualised PBT and an average of RWAs at quarter-year ends. A reconciliation
between reported and adjusted performance is provided on page 53.
7 'Currency translation adjustment' is the effect of translating the assets and liabilities
of subsidiaries and associates for the previous period-end at the rates of exchange applicable
at the current period-end.
8 The main items reported under 'Other' are the results of HSBC's holding company and financing
operations, which include: net interest earned on free capital held centrally; operating costs
incurred by the head office operations in providing stewardship and central management services
to HSBC; costs incurred by the Group Service Centres and Shared Service Organisations, and
their associated recoveries; the UK bank levy; unallocated investment activities; centrally
held investment companies; gains arising from the dilution of interests in associates and
joint ventures; and gains from certain property transactions. 'Other' also includes part of
the movement in the fair value of long-term debt designated at fair value (the remainder of
the Group's movement on own debt is included in GB&M).
9 Assets by geographical region and global businesses include intra-HSBC items. These items
are eliminated under the headings 'Intra-HSBC items' or 'Inter-segment elimination', as appropriate.
10 The Principal RBWM business measure excludes the effects of the US run-off portfolio. We believe
that looking at the Principal RBWM business allows management to more clearly discuss the
cause of material changes from period to period in the ongoing business and to assess the
factors and trends in the business that are expected to have a material effect in future years.
11 Other income/expense in this context comprises where applicable net trading income, net income/(expense)
from other financial instruments designated at fair value, gains less losses from financial
investments, dividend income, net insurance premium income and other operating income less
net insurance claims and benefits paid and movement in liabilities to policyholders.
12 Net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions, also
referred to as revenue.
13 Loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions.
14 Share of profit in associates and joint ventures.
15 Amounts are non-additive across geographical regions and global businesses due to inter-company
transactions within the Group.
16 'Other' in GB&M includes net interest earned on free capital held in the global business not
assigned to products and gains resulting from business disposals. Within the management view
of total operating income, notional tax credits are allocated to the businesses to reflect
the economic benefit generated by certain activities which is not reflected within operating
income, for example notional credits on income earned from tax-exempt investments where the
economic benefit of the activity is reflected in tax expense. In order to reflect the total
operating income on an IFRSs basis, the offset to these tax credits is included within 'Other'.
17 'Client assets' are translated at the rates of exchange applicable for their respective period-ends,
with the effects of currency translation reported separately. The main components of client
assets are funds under management, which are not reported on the Group's balance sheet, and
customer deposits, which are reported on the Group's balance sheet.
18 Inter-segment elimination comprises the costs of shared services and Group Service Centres
included within 'Other' which are recovered from global businesses, and the intra-segment
funding costs of trading activities undertaken within GB&M. HSBC's Balance Sheet Management
business, reported within GB&M, provides funding to the trading businesses. To report GB&M's
'Net trading income' on a fully funded basis, 'Net interest income/(expense)' and 'Net interest
income/(expense) on trading activities' are grossed up to reflect internal funding transactions
prior to their elimination in the inter-segment column.
19 Net insurance claims and benefits paid and movement in liabilities to policyholders.
20 'Employee expenses' comprises costs directly incurred by each global business. The reallocation
and recharging of employee and other expenses directly incurred in the 'Other' category are
shown in 'Other operating expenses'.
21 RWAs are non-additive across geographical regions due to market risk diversification effects
within the Group.
22 Excludes items where there are substantial offsets in the income statement for the same period.
23 'Own credit spread' includes the fair value movements on our long-term debt attributable to
credit spread where the net result of such movements will be zero upon maturity of the debt.
This does not include fair value changes due to own credit risk in respect of trading liabilities
or derivative liabilities.

There have been no material changes to the policies and
practices regarding risk management and governance described in the
Annual Report and Accounts 2015.
A summary of our risk management policies and practices is
provided in the Appendix to Risk on page 193 of the Annual Report
and Accounts 2015.
Areas of special interest
During 1H16, we considered a number of particular areas because
of the significant effect they may have on the Group. While some of
these areas may have already been identified in our top and
emerging risks (see page 16), further details of the actions taken
in 1H16 are provided below.
The Monitor
Under the agreements entered into with the Department of Justice
and the Financial Conduct Authority in 2012, including the
five-year US deferred prosecution agreement, the Monitor was
appointed to produce annual assessments of the effectiveness of the
Group's anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programme.
The work of the Monitor is described on page 116 of the Annual
Report and Accounts 2015.
We are working to implement the agreed recommendations flowing
from the Monitor's reviews. The Monitor's third annual follow-up
review is under way.
The 'US deferred prosecution agreement and related agreements
and consent orders' is classified as a top and emerging risk, and
is discussed on page 17.
Regulatory stress tests
The Group is participating in the Bank of England's 2016
concurrent stress test programme, which involves all major UK
banks. The Bank of England will publish the results alongside the
Financial Stability Report in the fourth quarter of 2016.
We also participated on a Group-wide basis in the European
Banking Authority ('EBA') stress testing exercise. The results were
published on 29 July 2016. Under the adverse scenario and
methodology prescribed for this exercise, the Group maintained a
ratio well above minimum regulatory requirements.
HSBC North America Holdings Inc. ('HNAH') participated in the
2016 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ('CCAR') and
Dodd-Frank Act Stress Testing ('DFAST') programmes of the Federal
Reserve Board ('FRB'); HSBC Bank USA, N.A. participated in the 2016
DFAST programme of the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Submissions were made
on 5 April 2016 and the results of the FRB's DFAST process was
disclosed on 23 June 2016. The results showed that HNAH had
post-stress capital ratios which exceeded the regulatory minimums
under both a supervisory adverse and severely adverse scenario. On
29 June 2016, the results of the CCAR process were announced and
HNAH received a non-objection from the FRB to its 2016 capital
plan.
Other entities in the Group, including The Hongkong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation Limited, continue to participate in regional
regulatory stress test activities.
A summary of our approach to stress testing and scenario
analysis is provided on page 103 of the Annual Report and Accounts
2015.
The UK's referendum on EU membership
Following the UK electorate's vote to leave the European Union
('EU') in a national referendum, there has been a period of
volatility against a backdrop of uncertainty, which is likely to
continue for some time. We were aware of the potential for market
disruption in the aftermath of a vote to leave the EU and took
steps to plan for this outcome.
During 2015 and the first half of 2016, we undertook a number of
different analyses including stress tests to consider the potential
impact of a vote to leave the EU on capital positions, key
portfolios, liquidity and our customers.
As the referendum approached, our priority was to ensure that we
had adequate liquidity in each operating currency across all
businesses. We also focused on operational and IT infrastructure
resilience in anticipation of higher volumes and potential
collateral calls immediately following the referendum. In addition,
our global functions were engaged throughout and provided guidance
on several issues including the standards of conduct to be
maintained during a period of heightened volatility.
We are actively monitoring our portfolio to identify areas of
stress, supported by stress testing analyses. Over the coming weeks
and months, we intend to continue to work with regulators,
governments and our customers in an effort to manage risks as they
arise, particularly across those sectors most affected by the
outcome. We will also continue to focus on serving and supporting
our customers, and delivering on our strategy.
Negotiation of the UK's exit agreement, its future relationship
with the EU and its trading relationship with the rest of the world
will likely take a number of years to resolve. During this time,
uncertainty as to the precise terms of these arrangements and the
future legal and regulatory landscape may lead to uncertain
economic conditions and market volatility. This may lead to reduced
economic growth which could affect both HSBC and our clients.
Among other issues, changes to the UK's future relationship are
likely to influence the business model for our London-based
European cross-border banking operations, which currently rely on
unrestricted access to the European financial services market.
Until the terms and timing of the UK's exit from the EU are
confirmed, including the terms on which UK financial institutions
will conduct cross-border business post-exit, it is not possible to
fully determine the impact on HSBC.

Risk (continued)
Oil and gas prices
Oil and commodity prices have remained low since the middle of
2014 as a result of existing global supply and demand imbalances,
with significant price declines in late 2015 and early 2016. Prices
rose during 1H16 reducing the level of stress in the portfolio.
However the sector remains challenged with low levels of capital
expenditure impacting the oil and gas services sector in
particular.
The overall portfolio directly exposed to oil and gas had drawn
risk exposures amounting to $31bn at 30 June 2016 (31 December
2015: $29bn) with sub-sectoral distributions as follows: integrated
producers 48%, service companies 29%, pure producers 16% and
infrastructure companies 7%.
The credit quality distribution of the oil and gas portfolio was
as follows: 'strong' and 'good' categories made up 50% of the
portfolio, 'satisfactory' 32%, 'sub-standard' 14% and 'impaired'
4%. The majority of the exposures were located in North America,
Asia and Europe.
Individually assessed loan impairment charges in 1H16 remained
contained at approximately $0.4bn.
The sector remains under enhanced monitoring with risk appetite
and new lending significantly curtailed.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or
counterparty fails to meet an obligation under a contract. It
arises principally from direct lending, trade finance and leasing
business, and also from certain other products such as guarantees
and credit derivatives, and also from holding assets in the form of
debt securities.
There have been no material changes to the policies and
practices for the management of credit risk summarised in the
Annual Report and Accounts 2015 in its 'Credit risk' section on
page 118 and its Appendix to Risk on page 195.
Credit risk in the first half of 2016
An update on our oil and gas portfolio is provided in 'Areas of
special interest' on page 61 of this Interim Report 2016.
Reported loans and advances declined by $36bn mainly due to
foreign exchange effects reducing balances by $25bn.
Loan impairment charges for the period were $2.3bn. In wholesale
lending, loan impairment charges were mainly in North America,
Latin America and Europe. In retail lending, they consisted of
impairments mainly in Brazil. More details of loan impairment
charges are on page 27.
The commentary that follows is on a constant currency basis,
while tables are presented on a reported basis. Information on
currency movements is provided on page 72.
In wholesale lending, balances declined by $6.9bn. Significant
net decreases included $3.5bn in North America, $2.2bn in Asia and
$1.7bn in Europe.
In personal lending, balances decreased by $4.0bn, consisting of
$5.9bn in North America partly offset by a $1.0bn increase in
Europe.

Assets held for sale
During 1H15, gross loans and advances and related impairment
allowances arising in our Brazilian operations were reclassified
from 'Loans and advances to customers' and 'Loans and advances to
banks' to 'Assets held for sale' on the balance sheet. Although
there was a reclassification on the balance sheet, there was no
separate income statement reclassification. As a result, charges
for loan impairment losses shown in the credit risk disclosures
include loan impairment charges relating to financial assets
classified as 'Assets held for sale'.

The table above shows the credit quality distribution for all
assets exposed to credit risk, including the balances relating to
our Brazilian operations. The increase in 'strong' assets is mainly
related to increases in cash and balances at central banks, trading
assets and derivative assets as a result of the market volatility
at the period-end.
Within the 'Past due but not impaired' amount at 30 June 2016,
99% was less than 90 days past due. This percentage was broadly
unchanged compared with 31 December 2015.

On a reported basis, during 1H16 impaired gross loans and
advances declined by $1.8bn. This was mainly due to a continued
run-off of the US CML portfolio of $2.2bn.
Renegotiated loans and forbearance
The most significant portfolio of renegotiated loans remained in
personal loans held by HSBC Finance Corporation ('HSBC Finance') in
North America. On a reported basis, during 1H16, total renegotiated
loans decreased by $5.9bn. The ongoing run-off and sales of the US
CML portfolio reduced
renegotiated loans by $5.4bn. In Europe renegotiated loans
reduced mainly as a result of foreign exchange effects.
The following tables show the gross carrying amounts of the
Group's holdings of renegotiated loans and advances to customers by

On a reported basis, gross loans decreased by $21bn, mainly due
to foreign exchange movements of $14bn.
The commentary that follows is on a constant currency basis,
while tables are presented on a reported basis.
Wholesale lending decreased by $6.9bn in 1H16. In North America,
it decreased by $3.5bn, primarily driven by a decline in the US in
'financial'.
In Asia, there was a decline of $2.2bn overall. This consisted
of decreases across 'international trade and services', 'other
commercial' and 'manufacturing' totalling $9.0bn, driven by the
continuation of the slowdown in trade and maturity of term loans,
partly offset by a $7.2bn increase in 'financial'.
In Europe, overall balances declined by $1.7bn. In 'corporate
and commercial' there was an increase in lending of $8bn which was
offset by a reduction of $8bn relating to corporate overdraft
balances where a small number of clients benefit from the use of
net interest arrangements between overdrafts and deposits.
Personal lending
We provide a broad range of secured and unsecured personal
lending products to meet customer needs. Personal lending includes
loans secured on assets such as first liens on residential
property, and unsecured lending products such as overdrafts, credit
cards and payroll loans.

Risk (continued)
On a reported basis, total personal lending reduced by $14bn,
mainly due to adverse foreign exchange movements of $10bn and the
ongoing run-off and sales of our US CML portfolio in North America
of $6.7bn.
Loan impairment allowances reduced by $0.4bn, largely due to the
reduction in our US CML run-off portfolio.
Loan impairment charges were $1.1bn for 1H16, $0.2bn more than
1H15 due largely to the deterioration of economic conditions in
Brazil.
While the tables are presented on a reported basis, the
commentary that follows is on a constant currency basis and
excludes the effect of the ongoing run-off and sales of our US CML
portfolio.
Total personal lending grew by $2.6bn compared with 31 December
2015, with mortgage balances increasing by $3.0bn, mainly in the UK
which increased by $1.7bn reflecting the growth of the UK mortgage
market in 1H16. There were increases in China of $1.0bn and Canada
of $0.7bn, both as a result of business growth initiatives. The
increase was partly offset by a $0.9bn reduction in Singapore
following our decision to constrain the size of our mortgage
portfolio in the country. In France there was a reclassification of
$0.8bn from residential mortgages to commercial real estate.
The quality of both our Hong Kong and UK mortgage books remained
high, with negligible defaults and impairment allowances. The
average loan to value ('LTV') ratio on new mortgage lending in Hong
Kong was 42% compared with an estimated 32% for the overall
mortgage portfolio. The LTV ratio on new lending in the UK was 59%
compared with the average of 41% for the total mortgage
portfolio.
Other personal lending decreased by $0.4bn mainly due to a
decrease in Switzerland of $1.3bn because of the continued
repositioning of Global Private Banking. This was largely offset by
a $1.9bn increase in France due to the
reclassification of certain portfolios, moving them from
commercial real estate to other personal lending.
HSBC Finance
Residential mortgages, including second lien mortgages,
decreased by $6.7bn to $12bn at 30 June 2016. In addition to the
continued loan sales in the US CML run-off portfolio, we
transferred a further $5.9bn to 'Assets held for sale' during 1H16,
and these loans were mainly sold in April, May and July 2016. The
average gain on sale of foreclosed properties that arose after we
took title to the property was 1%.
The decrease in impairment allowances from $1.0bn at 31 December
2015 to $0.6bn at 30 June 2016 reflected reduced levels of
delinquency and lower newly impaired loans and loan balances
outstanding as a result of continued sale and liquidation of the
portfolio.
Across the first and second lien residential mortgages in our US
CML run-off portfolio, two-months-and-over delinquent balances
reduced by $0.1bn to $1.0bn during 1H16, reflecting the continued
portfolio run-off and loan sales.
Renegotiated real estate secured accounts in HSBC Finance
reduced by $5.4bn or 50% and represented 82% at 30 June 2016 (31
December 2015: 91%) of our total renegotiated loans in North
America, of which $3.2bn were classified as impaired (31 December
2015: $5.1bn). During 1H16, the aggregate number of renegotiated
loans in HSBC Finance reduced due to portfolio run-off and further
loan sales in the US CML portfolio.
HSBC Bank USA
In HSBC Bank USA, mortgage balances of $18bn at 30 June 2016
were broadly unchanged compared with 31 December 2015 with normal
run-off being replaced with new originations. We continued to sell
all new originations classed as agency-eligible in the secondary
market.

Risk (continued)
Liquidity and funding
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group does not have
sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall
due, or will have to do so at an excessive cost. The risk arises
from mismatches in the timing of cash flows.
Funding risk is the risk that funding considered to be
sustainable, and therefore used to fund assets, is not sustainable
over time. The risk arises when the funding needed for illiquid
asset positions cannot be obtained at the expected terms and when
required.
This section supersedes the information included in the Annual
Report and Accounts 2015 from pages 154 to 165.
Our liquidity and funding risk management framework
The objective of the Group's internal liquidity and funding risk
framework ('LFRF') is to allow it to withstand very severe
liquidity stresses. It is designed to be adaptable to changing
business models, markets and regulations.
The Group does not manage liquidity risk and funding risk
centrally on a Group consolidated basis. They are managed by
operating entity on a standalone basis with no implicit reliance
assumed on any other Group entity unless pre-committed.
All operating entities are required to manage liquidity and
funding risks in accordance with the LFRF.
On 1 January 2016, the Group introduced a new LFRF. It uses the
liquidity coverage ratio ('LCR') and net stable funding ratio
('NSFR') regulatory framework as a foundation, but adds extra
metrics, limits and overlays to address the risks that we consider
are not adequately reflected by the regulatory framework.
The LFRF is delivered using the following key aspects:
-- stand-alone management of liquidity and funding by operating entity;
-- operating entity classification by inherent liquidity risk ('ILR') categorisation;
-- minimum LCR requirement depending on ILR categorisation;
-- minimum NSFR requirement depending on ILR categorisation;
-- legal entity depositor concentration limit;
-- three-month and 12-month cumulative rolling term contractual maturity limits covering deposits
from banks, deposits from non-bank financial institutions and securities issued;
-- annual individual liquidity adequacy assessment ('ILAA') by principal operating entity;
-- minimum LCR requirement by currency;
-- intra-day liquidity; and
-- forward-looking funding assessments.
The new internal LFRF and the risk tolerance limits have been
approved by the Board on the basis of recommendations made by the
Group Risk Committee, and the metrics below are being disclosed for
the first time following the implementation of the new LFRF. There
are therefore no comparatives.
Our ILAA process aims to:
-- identify risks that are not reflected in the LFRF and, where required, to assess additional
limits to be required locally; and
-- validate the risk tolerance at the operating entity level by demonstrating that reverse stress
testing scenarios are acceptably remote and that vulnerabilities have been assessed through
the use of severe stress scenarios.
Liquidity and funding in the first half of 2016
The liquidity position of the Group remained strong in 1H16. Our
liquidity coverage ratio was 137% with unencumbered liquid assets
of $474bn.
Management of liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity coverage ratio
The LCR metric is designed to promote the short-term resilience
of a bank's liquidity profile, and became a minimum regulatory
standard from 1 October 2015, under EC Delegated Regulation
2015/61.
It aims to ensure that a bank has sufficient unencumbered
high-quality liquid assets ('HQLA') to meet its liquidity needs in
a 30-calendar-day liquidity stress scenario. HQLAs consist of cash
or assets that can be converted into cash at little or no loss of
value in markets.
The calculation of the LCR metric involves two key assumptions
about the definition of operational deposits and the ability to
transfer liquidity from non-EU legal entities.
-- We define operational deposits as transactional (current) accounts arising from the provision
of custody services by HSBC Security Services and Global Liquidity and Cash Management, where
the operational component is assessed to be the lower of the current balance and the separate
notional values of debits and credits across the account in the previous calculation period.
-- We assume no transferability of liquidity from non-EU entities other than to the extent currently
permitted. This results in $108bn of HQLA being excluded from the Group's LCR.
On the basis of these assumptions, we reported to the UK's
Prudential Regulation Authority ('PRA') a Group EC LCR at 30 June
2016 of 137%.
The ratio of total consolidated HQLAs to the EC LCR denominator
at 30 June 2016 was 169%, reflecting the additional $108bn of HQLAs
excluded from the Group LCR.
The liquidity position of the Group can also be represented by
the stand-alone ratios of each of our principal operating entities.
The Board and the Risk Management Meeting of the Group Management
Board declare the initial criterion for categorising an operating
entity as a principal entity is based on its material balance sheet
size.
The table below displays the individual LCR levels for our
principal operating entities on an EC LCR Delegated Regulation
basis. The ratios shown for operating entities in non-EU
jurisdictions can vary from their local LCR measures due to
differences in the way non-EU regulators have implemented the Basel
III recommendations.

At 30 June 2016, all the Group's principal operating entities

Net stable funding ratio
The NSFR requires institutions to maintain sufficient stable
funding relative to required stable funding, and reflects a bank's
long-term funding profile (funding with a term of more than a
year). It is designed to complement the LCR.
The European calibration of NSFR is pending following the Basel
Committee's final recommendation in October 2014. We calculate NSFR
in line with the relevant text (Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision publication 295), pending its implementation in Europe.
This calculation requires various interpretations of the text as it
stands, and therefore HSBC's NSFR may not be directly comparable
with the ratios of other institutions.
The table below displays the individual NSFR levels for the
principal HSBC operating entities on a BCBS295 basis.

At 30 June 2016, all the Group's principal operating entities

Depositor Concentration and Term Funding Maturity
Concentration
The LCR and NSFR metrics assume a stressed outflow based on a
portfolio of depositors within each deposit segment. The validity
of these assumptions is challenged if the underlying depositors do
not represent a large enough portfolio so that a depositor
concentration exists.
Operating entities are exposed to term re-financing
concentration risk if the current maturity profile results in
future maturities being overly concentrated in any defined
period.
At 30 June 2016, all principal operating entities were within
the risk tolerance levels set for depositor concentration and term
funding maturity concentration. These risk tolerances were
established by the Board and are applicable under the LFRF.
Liquid assets of HSBC's principal operating entities
The table below shows the unweighted liquidity value of assets
categorised as liquid and used for the purposes of calculating the
LCR metric.
The level of liquid assets reported reflects the stock of
unencumbered liquid assets at the reporting date, using the
regulatory definition of liquid assets.
Liquid assets are held and managed on a stand-alone operating
entity basis. Most of the liquid assets shown are held directly by
each operating entity's Balance Sheet Management ('BSM')
department, primarily for the purpose of managing liquidity risk,
in line with the LFRF.
The liquid asset buffer may also include securities held in
held-to-maturity portfolios. In order to qualify as part of the
liquid asset buffer, all held-to-maturity portfolios must have a
deep and liquid repo market in the underlying security.
Liquid assets also include any unencumbered liquid asset held
outside BSM for any other purpose. The LFRF gives ultimate control
of all unencumbered assets and sources of liquidity to BSM.

customer savings deposits payable on demand or at short notice. We
issue wholesale securities (secured and unsecured) to supplement
our customer deposits and change the currency mix, maturity profile
or location of our liabilities.
The level of customer accounts continued to exceed the level of
loans and advances to customers. The positive funding gap was
predominantly deployed into liquid assets, cash and balances with
central banks and financial investments, as required by the
LFRF.
Loans and other advances to banks continued to exceed deposits
by banks.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that movements in market factors, such
as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads, equity
prices and commodity prices, will reduce our income or the value of
our portfolios.
There were no material changes to the policies and practices for
the management of market risk described in the Annual Report and
Accounts 2015.
A summary of our market risk management framework including
current policies is provided on page 221 of the Annual Report and
Accounts 2015.
Market risk in the first half of 2016
Global markets were influenced by the change in outlook for
future rate rises in the US. Yields in major economies fell, with
the stock of government debt trading at negative yields increasing
substantially.
In China, concerns about a slowdown in the economy led to
concerns about a further depreciation of the renminbi.
Towards the end of the reporting period, volatility increased
substantially due to the referendum decision in the UK to leave the
European Union.
Trading value at risk ('VaR'), before the effects of portfolio
diversification benefits, increased. Overall, it decreased slightly
to 30 June after including the effects of portfolio diversification
benefits. Non-trading VaR increased slightly during 1H16.
Trading portfolios
Value at risk of the trading portfolios
Trading VaR predominantly resides within Global Markets. The VaR
for trading activity at 30 June 2016 was slightly lower than at 31
December 2015 due primarily to declines in equity and credit spread
trading VaR components largely offset by increases in interest rate
and foreign exchange trading VaR components, and an increase in
portfolio diversification benefits.
The Group trading VaR for the half-year is shown in the table on
the next page.
