BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This release covers the results of Lloyds Banking Group plc together with its subsidiaries (the Group) for the nine months ended 30 September 2016.
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. Accordingly, the results are also presented on an underlying basis.
Underlying basis: The statutory results are adjusted for certain items which are listed below, to allow a comparison of the Group’s underlying performance.
losses on redemption of the Enhanced Capital Notes and the volatility in the value of the embedded equity conversion feature;
market volatility and other items, which includes the effects of certain asset sales, the volatility relating to the Group’s own debt and hedging arrangements as well as that arising in the insurance businesses, insurance gross up, the unwind of acquisition-related fair value adjustments and the amortisation of purchased intangible assets;
restructuring costs, comprising severance related costs relating to the Simplification programme and the costs of implementing regulatory reform and ring-fencing;
TSB build and dual-running costs and the loss relating to the TSB sale in 2015; and
–     payment protection insurance and other conduct provisions.
Unless otherwise stated, income statement commentaries throughout this document compare the nine months ended 30 September 2016 to the nine months ended 30 September 2015, and the balance sheet analysis compares the Group balance sheet as at 30 September 2016 to the Group balance sheet as at 31 December 2015.
Alternative performance measures : The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures, including underlying profit, in the discussion of its business performance and financial position. Further information on these measures is set out on page 15.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENT
In the first nine months of the year the Group has delivered a robust underlying performance with a strong improvement in statutory profit and strong capital generation. Our differentiated, UK focused, simple, low risk business model continues to deliver and as a result we are reaffirming our stated 2016 guidance.
 
Strategic progress
We remain focused on delivering on our targets to support people, businesses and communities as set out in our Helping Britain Prosper Plan. We are making good progress against our strategic priorities: creating the best customer experience; becoming simpler and more efficient; and delivering sustainable growth. In the last 12 months we have grown net lending to SMEs by 4 per cent and have also grown net lending in both credit card balances and motor finance while continuing to grow our bulk annuity business. We remain committed to helping first-time buyers onto the housing ladder whilst continuing to balance risk and margin considerations versus volume in mortgages. We also continue to operate the UK’s largest branch network and the largest digital bank with 12.4 million online users and 7.8 million mobile users of our top-rated apps.
 
The hard work undertaken in the last five years to transform and simplify the business has allowed the UK government to sell most of its stake in the Group, returning £17 billion including dividends on its original £20 billion investment. We welcome the recent decision to recommence the sale of its shares.
 
Well positioned to become the best bank for customers and shareholders
The outlook for the UK economy remains uncertain, however the strength of the recovery in recent years means the UK is well positioned. The Group’s transformation and successful execution of strategy, along with its competitive advantages in costs and risk, also position us well for the future and to achieve our goal of becoming the best bank for customers and shareholders.
António Horta-Osório, Group Chief Executive

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
Overview: robust underlying performance with strong improvement in statutory profit
The Group’s underlying profit was £6,073 million, 4 per cent lower than in the first nine months of 2015, with marginally lower income and increases in the impairment charge and operating lease depreciation partially offset by lower operating costs. The underlying return on required equity was 13.6 per cent compared with 15.7 per cent in the same period of 2015.
 
Statutory profit before tax was £3,265 million (2015: £2,151 million), an increase of more than 50 per cent after a £1 billion charge relating to PPI in the third quarter. The statutory return on required equity improved to 5.9 per cent compared with 4.4 per cent in the same period of 2015.
 
Loans and advances to customers were 1 percent lower at £452 billion (31 December 2015: £455 billion) with continued growth in the UK Consumer Finance business and lending to SME and Mid Markets clients offset by reductions in closed portfolios and mortgages, where the Group continues to focus on margin rather than volume. Customer deposits at £424 billion were 1 per cent higher than at 31 December 2015.
 
The common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio at 30 September 2016 was 14.1 per cent pre dividend and 13.4 per cent post dividend (31 December 2015: 13.0 per cent). The Group generated around 110 basis points of capital pre dividends in the nine months to 30 September 2016. The tangible net asset value per share was broadly stable at 54.9 pence (30 June 2016: 55.0 pence), having paid the interim dividend of 0.85 pence per share in September.

Total income was marginally lower at £13,150 million, with increased net interest income more than offset by lower other income.
 
Net interest income grew by 1 per cent to £8,630 million, reflecting the improvement in net interest margin to 2.72 per cent (2015: 2.63 per cent). The net interest margin continues to benefit from lower deposit and wholesale funding costs which have more than offset the pressure on asset pricing. The net interest margin of 2.69 per cent in the third quarter was higher than the same period last year, but slightly lower than the second quarter (2.74 per cent), partly reflecting the base rate change in early August. The Group continues to expect that the net interest margin for the 2016 full year will be around 2.70 per cent.
 
Other income for the first nine months was £4,520 million, 2 per cent lower than in the same period last year. Other income in the third quarter at £1,427 million, was up 4 per cent on the previous year, although down on the second quarter due to insurance. The Group now expects other income for the year to be around £6 billion.

The Group continues to focus on cost management and delivering efficiency savings as we simplify the business. Operating costs were £5,959 million in the period, 2 per cent lower than in the first nine months of 2015, contributing to positive operating jaws of 0.5 per cent and an improved cost:income ratio of 47.7 per cent.
 
The Simplification programme has delivered £774 million of annual run-rate savings to date and the Group remains on track to deliver the revised target of £1.4 billion of savings by the end of 2017.
 
Operating lease depreciation increased by 19 per cent to £669 million, driven by the continued growth in the Lex Autolease business and additional charges related to certain leasing assets in Commercial Banking.
 
The Group continues to expect the full year cost:income ratio to be lower than the 2015 ratio of 49.3 per cent.

The credit quality of the Group’s lending portfolios remains strong. The impairment charge of £449 million increased from £336 million in the same period last year, but this was due to the expected lower level of releases and write-backs in the period rather than a deterioration in the underlying portfolios. The asset quality ratio was 14 basis points in the nine months to 30 September 2016 compared to 11 basis points in the same period in 2015. On a gross basis, before releases and write-backs, the asset quality ratio has remained stable at 26 basis points.
 
In line with previous guidance, the Group expects the asset quality ratio for the full year to be less than 20 basis points.
 
Impaired loans as a percentage of closing advances were 2.0 per cent compared with 2.1 per cent at 31 December 2015.

Further information on the reconciliation of underlying to statutory results is included on page 11.
 
Statutory profit before tax was £3,265 million, an increase of more than 50 per cent on the same period last year (£2,151 million).
 
Market volatility and asset sales of £393 million (2015: negative £204 million) included the gain on sale of the Group’s interest in Visa Europe of £484 million, negative insurance volatility of £157 million (2015: negative £316 million) and accounting volatility relating to hedging and liability management.
 
Restructuring costs were £390 million compared to £69 million in 2015 and included £293 million relating to the Simplification programme and £97 million relating to work on implementing the ring-fencing requirements.
 
Statutory profit in the first nine months of 2015 included a charge of £745 million for TSB costs, comprising £660 million relating to the sale of TSB and £85 million of TSB dual-running costs.
 
A provision of £1 billion was taken in the period for PPI to cover further operating costs and redress, including impact of proposed June 2019 deadline. A further provision of £150 million was taken in the third quarter to cover other conduct issues, including £100 million in respect of packaged bank accounts.
 
Taxation
The tax charge for the first nine months of 2016 was £1,189 million (2015: £536 million), representing an effective tax rate of 36 per cent (2015: 25 per cent). The higher effective tax rate reflects the impact of the change in corporation tax rates on the net deferred tax asset, the banking surcharge and restrictions on the deductibility of conduct provisions.
 
The Group continues to expect a medium term effective tax rate of around 27 per cent.

Loans and advances to customers were 1 per cent lower at £452 billion compared with 31 December 2015. There was continued strong growth in the UK Consumer Finance business and increased lending to SME and Mid Markets clients. This was offset by a reduction in mortgage balances as a result of the Group’s decision to protect margins rather than focusing on market share in a low growth market, and a reduction in portfolios closed to new business.
 
Deposits were £424 billion, 1 per cent higher compared with £418 billion at 31 December 2015, primarily reflecting continued success in attracting high quality balances from commercial clients. Wholesale funding was £125 billion (30 June 2016: £131 billion), of which 36 per cent (30 June 2016: 39 per cent) had a maturity of less than one year. The Group intends to participate fully in the Bank of England’s Term Funding Scheme in line with future funding needs.
 
The Group’s liquidity position remains strong and the liquidity coverage ratio was in excess of 100 per cent at 30 September 2016. The CET1 ratio at 30 September 2016 was 14.1 per cent before allowing for 2016 foreseeable dividends; 13.4 per cent after allowing for dividends.
 
Capital generation in the third quarter was strong at 60 basis points, with 50 basis points of underlying capital generation, 60 basis points from market movements and 10 basis points from other items, offset by a 60 basis point impact from conduct.
 
Market movements in the third quarter of 60 basis points included a 20 basis point adverse impact from movements in the defined benefit pension schemes driven by the impact of credit spreads. The schemes moved from a net surplus of £430 million to a net deficit of £740 million in the quarter. This was more than offset by an 80 basis point favourable impact arising from changing our approach to how we hold gilts in the Group’s liquidity portfolio. In the current low interest rate environment, we have decided it is no longer appropriate to commit to holding gilts to maturity. As a result, the Group has reclassified the £20 billion of gilts within the liquidity portfolio as ‘available-for-sale’ (previously classified as ‘held-to-maturity’).
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (continued)
 
For the year-to-date, the Group has generated 110 basis points of capital with 160 basis points of underlying capital generation, 20 basis points from market movements and 10 basis points from other items, offset by 80 basis points relating to conduct. The positive impact of market movements was driven by the favourable impact in the year on
held-to-maturity gilts, largely offset by market driven movements in pensions and risk-weighted assets.
 
The Group continues to expect to generate around 160 basis points of capital (pre dividend) in the year.
 
During the third quarter the Prudential Regulation Authority reduced the Pillar 2A component of the Group’s Individual Capital Guidance from 4.6 per cent to 4.5 per cent of risk-weighted assets, of which 2.5 per cent has to be covered by CET1 capital.
 
Tangible net asset value (TNAV) was 54.9 pence per share at 30 September 2016 compared with 52.3 pence at 31 December 2015. The increase of 2.6 pence, or 5.5 pence before dividend payments, is primarily driven by strong statutory profit and positive reserve movements. TNAV per share was broadly stable compared with 30 June 2016 (55.0 pence), but up 0.8 pence before dividend payments.

Underlying return on required equity
 
The Group’s underlying return on required equity for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 was 13.6 per cent (nine months of 2015: 15.7 per cent). Required equity is the amount of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests required to achieve a CET1 ratio of 12.0 per cent after allowing for regulatory adjustments and deductions.

Deconsolidation adjustments relate to the deconsolidation of certain Group entities for regulatory capital and leverage purposes, being primarily the Group’s Insurance business. The presentation of the deconsolidation adjustments through common equity tier 1 capital has been amended during 2016 with comparative figures restated accordingly across deconsolidation adjustments, other adjustments and deductions.
2
The countercyclical leverage ratio buffer is currently nil.
3
The average leverage ratio is based on the average of the month end tier 1 capital and exposure measures over the quarter (1 July 2016 to 30 September 2016). The average of 4.7 per cent compares to 4.7 per cent at the start of the quarter and 4.8 per cent at the end of the quarter. The ratio increased towards the end of the quarter as a result of an increase in tier 1 capital.
4
The average leverage exposure measure is based on the average of the month end exposure measures over the quarter (1 July 2016 to 30 September 2016).
 
 
 
 
NOTES (continued)
 
8. 
Modified leverage ratio
 
The Group’s leverage ratio on a modified basis, excluding qualifying central bank claims from the leverage exposure measure, is 5.3 per cent. This follows the recent rule modification implemented by the Prudential Regulation Authority to the UK Leverage Ratio Framework as a result of recommendations made by the Financial Policy Committee.
 
The Financial Policy Committee has indicated that it intends to recalibrate the UK framework in 2017 in order to adjust for the impact of the rule modification, thereby ensuring that levels of capital currently required to meet leverage ratio minimums are maintained. The modified leverage ratio should therefore be considered in the context of the proposed recalibration.
 
9. 
Summary of alternative performance measures
 
The Group calculates a number of metrics that are used throughout the banking and insurance industries on an underlying basis. A description of these measures and their calculation is set out below.
 
Asset quality ratio
The underlying impairment charge for the period (on an annualised basis) in respect of loans and advances to customers after releases and recoveries expressed as a percentage of average gross loans and advances to customers for the period
 
Banking net interest margin
Banking net interest income on customer and product balances in the banking businesses as a percentage of average gross banking interest-earning assets for the period
 
Cost:income ratio
Operating costs as a percentage of total income net of insurance claims less operating lease depreciation calculated on an underlying basis
 
Gross asset quality ratio
The underlying impairment charge for the period (on an annualised basis) in respect of loans and advances to customers before releases and recoveries expressed as a percentage of average gross loans and advances to customers for the period
 
Impaired loans as a percentage of advances
Impaired loans and advances to customers adjusted to exclude Retail and Consumer Finance loans in recoveries expressed as a percentage of closing gross loans and advances to customers
 
Loan to deposit ratio
The ratio of loans and advances to customers net of allowance for impairment losses and excluding reverse repurchase agreements divided by customer deposits excluding repurchase agreements
 
Operating Jaws
The difference between the period on period percentage change in total income net of insurance claims less operating lease depreciation and the period on period change in operating costs calculated on an underlying basis
 
Required equity
The amount of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests required to achieve a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.0 per cent after allowing for regulatory adjustments and deductions
 
Return on assets
Underlying profit before tax divided by average total assets for the period
 
Return on required equity
Statutory profit after tax adjusted to reflect the notional earnings on any excess or shortfall in equity less the post-tax profit attributable to other equity holders divided by the average required equity for the period
 
Return on risk-weighted assets
Underlying profit before tax divided by average risk-weighted assets
 
Tangible net assets per share
Net assets excluding intangible assets such as goodwill and acquisition-related intangibles divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue
 
Underlying profit
Statutory profit adjusted for certain items as detailed in the Basis of Preparation
 
Underlying return on required equity
