FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal activities

Lloyds Bank plc (the Bank), together with its subsidiary undertakings (the Group), provide a wide range of banking and financial services. The Group's revenue is earned through interest and fees on a broad range of financial services products including current and savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards, motor finance and unsecured loans to retail customers and loans and other products to commercial clients.

Income statement

The Group's statutory profit before tax for the first half of 2026 was £3,556 million, 29% higher than in the first half of 2025, reflecting higher total income and broadly stable operating expenses, partly offset by a higher impairment charge. Profit after tax was £2,651 million (half-year to 30 June 2025: £1,940 million).

Total income for the first half of 2026 was £9,845 million, an increase of 11% on the prior period (half-year to 30 June 2025: £8,835 million). Net interest income of £7,125 million was up 9% on the prior year (half-year to 30 June 2025: £6,546 million), driven by a higher margin, resulting from stronger structural hedge income as eligible balances were reinvested into a higher rate environment, partially offset by asset margin compression, in particular in the UK mortgages portfolio, alongside lending growth driving higher average interest-earning assets.

Other income increased by 19% to £2,720 million (half-year to 30 June 2025: £2,289 million), as a result of higher net fee and commission income, net trading income and other operating income. Net fee and commission income increased as a result of strengthening customer activity, while other operating income increased as a result of vehicle fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental values in UK Motor Finance. The higher net trading income reflected market movements in the period.

Operating expenses of £5,677 million were broadly stable, reflecting business growth costs and inflationary pressures, offset by continued cost savings, a lower severance expense and plateauing investment as this strategic cycle culminates. Within this, operating lease depreciation increased due to a charge in the second quarter for declines in used car prices alongside fleet growth and the depreciation of higher value vehicles, partially offset by continued risk mitigation.

As part of operating expenses, a remediation charge of £31 million was recognised by the Group in the first half of 2026 (half-year to 30 June 2025: £35 million) across a small number of programmes. There have been no further charges relating to motor finance commission arrangements. The FCA published policy statement PS26/3 in March 2026 with final rules for its motor finance redress schemes. Four challenges to the FCA's schemes have been raised, three by lenders and one from a consumer group and the implementation of the scheme has now been delayed, given the Upper Tribunal hearing is not expected before December 2026. The Group will closely monitor how these challenges develop and consider any potential impact to the existing provision. Despite these uncertainties, the current provision continues to represent the Group's current best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance issue.

The impairment charge was £612 million, up from £442 million in the half-year to 30 June 2025. The higher charge includes a net charge from updated multiple economic scenarios (MES) reflecting the impact of the deterioration in economic outlook in the first quarter due to the Middle East conflict, net of modest second quarter updates. The MES impact for the half year captures a higher unemployment rate peak and softer house price outlook compared to the year end view. This is partly offset by the release of the post model adjustment for global tariff and political disruption risks within Commercial Banking in the first quarter, now considered to be adequately captured within assumptions and resulting modelled provisions. Credit performance remains strong and stable across Retail and Commercial Banking with arrears low and stable in all portfolios.

The Group recognised a tax expense of £905 million in the first half of 2026 (half-year to 30 June 2025: £818 million). An explanation of the relationship between the tax expense and the Group's accounting profit for the period is set out on page 27.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Balance sheet

As at 30 June 2026, total assets were £25,044 million higher at £656,379 million (31 December 2025: £631,335 million). Financial assets at amortised cost were £16,310 million higher at £540,777 million including increases in loans and advances to customers of £8,764 million, reverse repurchase agreements of £3,253 million, debt securities of £3,145 million and loans and advances to banks of £868 million. Amounts due from fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings increased by £280 million.

Loans and advances to customers included growth of £1,773 million in UK mortgages, net of the impact of a securitisation of £1,841 million of primarily legacy Retail mortgages in the second quarter, alongside growth across credit cards, UK Retail unsecured loans, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business, totalling £2,923 million. Lending balances also increased in Commercial Banking by £4,458 million, reflecting growth across Corporate and Institutional Banking and Business and Commercial Banking, net of continued government-backed lending repayments. Reverse repurchase agreements and debt securities increased in response to market conditions. Cash and balances at central banks increased by £4,314 million to £42,034 million and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of £40,365 million increased by £4,108 million, reflecting changes in liquidity holdings. Other assets were £1,002 million higher, largely reflecting increased settlement balances and vehicle fleet growth within UK Motor Finance.

Total liabilities were £24,126 million higher at £613,481 million (31 December 2025: £589,355 million). Deposits from banks increased by £2,189 million to £5,274 million while customer deposits of £466,996 million increased by £1,789 million in the period. Retail deposits of £321,836 million were down by £3,333 million, primarily due to disciplined pricing decisions throughout the tax year-end. Retail UK current account balances were broadly stable, supported by the strength of the Group's franchise and proposition. Commercial Banking deposits increased by £4,949 million in the period, with growth in targeted sectors.

Repurchase agreements at amortised cost increased by £7,033 million to £44,600 million. Amounts due to fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings increased by £1,670 million to £5,522 million. Debt securities in issue at amortised cost increased by £10,674 million, to £62,806 million due to new issuances in the period while subordinated liabilities decreased to £7,582 million as a result of redemptions in the period. Other liabilities increased by £1,108 million to £12,071 million, largely due to higher settlement balances.

Total equity was £42,898 million at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: £41,980 million). Profit for the period was partially offset by dividends paid and movements in the cash flow hedge reserve.

Capital

The Group's common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio remained at 13.6% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 13.6%). Profit for the first half of the year was broadly offset by the payment of ordinary dividends, the accrual for foreseeable ordinary dividends, distributions on other equity instruments and an increase in risk-weighted assets.

Risk-weighted assets increased by £3,939 million to £198,239 million at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: £194,300 million), largely reflecting the impact of strong customer lending growth, partially offset by continued optimisation, including risk transfer and securitisation activity across Commercial Banking and Retail.

The Group's total capital ratio reduced to 19.8% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 20.1%), with the increase in CET1 capital and an AT1 instrument issuance more than offset by AT1 instrument calls and the increase in risk-weighted assets.

The Group's UK leverage ratio reduced to 5.1% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 5.2%). The increase in total tier 1 capital was more than offset by an increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter primarily reflects strong customer lending growth, including off-balance sheet commitments, and an increase in holdings of securities within the liquidity portfolio.

Reporting dates

Going forwards, Lloyds Bank plc will announce its results at the half-year and the full year only, with the next results announcement for the Group being for the full year 2026.

RISK MANAGEMENT

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The most significant risks faced by the Group are detailed below. External risks may impact delivery against the Group's recently updated long-term strategic objectives. They include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties and inflation trends which could have implications for both consumers and businesses.

The Group's credit performance remains strong and stable; the portfolios are well positioned amid macroeconomic uncertainty and are proactively monitored to identify signs of stress.

Ongoing oversight of operational resilience risks and continuous enhancements to controls remains critical, particularly in relation to cybersecurity, IT stability and supplier risk. The Group remains committed to ensuring lessons are learned from internal and external events of disruption, which may have an impact on the Group's ability to continue operations.

The latest position on the motor finance commission redress scheme is detailed on page 41.

The Group remains committed to modernising its technology and strengthening capabilities to ensure safe and responsible use of models and tools such as artificial intelligence.

Risk management is fundamental to our business model and strategy, and enables the Group to embrace opportunities responsibly and deliver sustainable growth. Our strong risk management culture, underpinned by Lloyds Banking Group's risk management framework (RMF), is vital in safeguarding the Group, colleagues and customers against both existing and emerging risks.

During 2026, the Group has continued to make progress in its risk transformation journey by standardising practices and streamlining processes, enabling simplification and efficiency. The RMF ensures processes are in place to facilitate robust risk management and effective decision making to deliver good outcomes for our customers.

The Group has 10 principal risks, underpinned by a suite of level two risks which are reviewed and reported regularly to the Board. The principal risks consist of capital risk, climate risk, compliance risk, conduct risk, credit risk, economic crime risk, liquidity risk, market risk, model risk and operational risk.

Further information regarding the Group's principal risks is available on pages 22 to 62 of the Group's 2025 annual report and accounts.

CET1 capital resources increased by £493 million during the period, with profit for the first half of the year largely offset by the payment of ordinary dividends, the accrual for foreseeable ordinary dividends and distributions on other equity instruments.

Movements in total capital

The Group's total capital ratio reduced to 19.8% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 20.1%), with the increase in CET1 capital and an AT1 instrument issuance more than offset by AT1 instrument calls and the increase in risk-weighted assets.

¹    Includes deconsolidation adjustments that relate to the deconsolidation of certain Group entities that fall outside the scope of the Group's regulatory capital consolidation and adjustments to exclude lending under the UK Government's Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS).

Analysis of leverage movements

The Group's UK leverage ratio reduced to 5.1% at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 5.2%). The increase in total tier 1 capital was more than offset by an increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter primarily reflects strong customer lending growth, including off-balance sheet commitments, and an increase in holdings of securities within the liquidity portfolio.

Pillar 3 disclosures

The Group will publish a condensed set of half-year Pillar 3 disclosures in the first half of August. A copy of the disclosures will be available to view at: www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/investors/financial-downloads.html.

CREDIT RISK

Overview

Credit performance has remained strong and stable in the first half of 2026, despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty. The Group maintains a prudent approach to credit risk appetite and risk management, supported by strong credit origination criteria, including affordability tests and robust LTVs within secured portfolios.

Across both the UK mortgages and unsecured portfolios, new to arrears and flows to default have remained low and stable. Credit performance in the Commercial Banking portfolio also remains strong and stable, with low levels of defaults. The Group continues to closely monitor the impacts of the economic and geopolitical environment through a comprehensive suite of early warning indicators and robust governance arrangements, alongside targeted risk mitigation action plans which are in place to support customers and protect the Group's position.

The impairment charge in the first half of 2026 was £612 million, up from £442 million in the prior year, and includes a net charge from updates to the Group's macroeconomic outlook. This largely reflects the impact from the deterioration in economic outlook in the first quarter due to the Middle East conflict, net of modest second quarter updates. The MES impact for the half-year captures a higher unemployment peak and softer house price outlook compared to the position at 31 December 2025. This is partly offset by the release of the post model adjustment for global tariff and political disruption risks within Commercial Banking in the first quarter, now considered to be adequately captured within assumptions and resulting modelled provisions. Excluding macroeconomic updates, the Group's impairment charge has increased compared to the prior year driven by Retail, reflecting model updates, a more normalised level of impairment alongside balance sheet growth, and lower one-off provision releases in Commercial Banking. The total expected credit loss (ECL) allowance was lower in the first half of 2026 at £3,147 million (31 December 2025: £3,201 million), following the securitisation of primarily legacy Retail mortgages in the second quarter.

Stage 2 loans and advances to customers are lower at £40,793 million compared to the end of 2025 (31 December 2025: £42,482 million) following securitisation activity and strong credit performance. Securitisation activity and an increase in new lending also resulted in the proportion of Stage 2 loans and advances being diluted to 8.6% of total lending (31 December 2025: 9.1%), with stable Stage 2 coverage at 2.7% (31 December 2025: 2.7%).

Stage 3 loans and advances to customers are lower at £6,250 million versus the prior year (31 December 2025: £6,519 million), and as a percentage of total lending are lower at 1.3% (31 December 2025: 1.4%), following continued strong performance, securitisation and repayments in Commercial Banking. Stage 3 coverage increased to 17.0% (31 December 2025: 15.9%).

Prudent risk appetite and risk management

•  The Group continues to take a proactive approach to credit risk management. This is driven by prudent risk appetite and robust oversight, particularly in response to the ongoing challenges within the external environment. Risk appetite firmly aligns to the Group's strategy, supporting our customers through ongoing economic uncertainties in both global and domestic markets

•  Sector, asset and product concentrations within the portfolios are closely monitored and controlled, with mitigating actions in place as appropriate. Sector and product risk parameters help to manage the Group's exposure to higher risk and cyclical sectors, segments and asset classes

•  The Group's effective risk management seeks to enable early identification and active management of customers and counterparties who may be showing signs of distress

•  The Group continues to support its customers to ensure they receive appropriate levels of assistance as required

Total expected credit loss allowance sensitivity to economic assumptions

The measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible future economic outcomes. The Group achieves this by generating four economic scenarios to reflect the range of outcomes; the central scenario reflects the Group's base case assumptions used for medium-term planning purposes, an upside and a downside scenario are also selected together with a severe downside scenario. If the base case moves adversely, it generates a new, more adverse downside and severe downside which are then incorporated into the ECL. Consistent with prior years, the base case, upside and downside scenarios carry a 30% weighting; the severe downside is weighted at 10%.

The following table shows the Group's ECL for the probability-weighted, upside, base case, downside and severe downside scenarios. The stage allocation for an asset is based on the overall probability-weighted probability of default and hence the staging of assets is constant across all the scenarios. In each economic scenario the ECL for individual assessments is held constant reflecting the basis on which they are evaluated. Judgemental adjustments applied through changes to model inputs or parameters, or more qualitative post model adjustments, are apportioned across the scenarios in proportion to modelled ECL where this better reflects the sensitivity of these adjustments to each scenario. The probability-weighted view shows the extent to which a higher ECL allowance has been recognised to take account of multiple economic scenarios relative to the base case; the uplift being £339 million compared to £363 million at 31 December 2025.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Overview

The Group's funding and liquidity position remains strong, with a loan to deposit ratio of 101% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 99%). Total wholesale funding¹ increased to £77.3 billion as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: £66.9 billion). The Group maintains access to diverse sources and tenors of funding.

The Group's liquid assets continue to exceed the regulatory minimum and internal risk appetite, with a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)² of 134% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 135%). The net stable funding ratio³ is robust at 118% (31 December 2025: 119%). At 30 June 2026, the Group had £103.8 billion of highly liquid unencumbered LCR eligible assets, based on a monthly rolling average over the last 12 months post any liquidity haircuts (31 December 2025: £104.5 billion). These assets are available to meet cash and collateral outflows and regulatory requirements.

The banking business also has a significant amount of non-LCR eligible liquid assets which are eligible for use in a range of central bank or similar facilities. Future use of such facilities will be guided by prudent liquidity management and economic considerations, with external market conditions factored in. The Group's credit ratings remain well positioned and continue to reflect the strength of the Group's management and franchise, along with its robust financial performance and capital and funding position. In May 2026, Fitch upgraded senior unsecured ratings for Lloyds Bank plc following a methodology update.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These condensed consolidated half-year financial statements as at and for the period to 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the United Kingdom and issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and comprise the results of Lloyds Bank plc (the Bank) together with its subsidiaries (the Group). They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 which complied with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and were prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. Copies of the 2025 annual report and accounts are available on the Lloyds Banking Group's website and are also available upon request from Investor Relations, Lloyds Banking Group plc, 33 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1HZ. Terminology used in these condensed consolidated half-year financial statements is consistent with that used in the Group's 2025 annual report on Form 20-F.

The directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated half-year financial statements. In reaching this assessment, the directors have taken into account the uncertainties affecting the UK economy and their potential effects upon the Group's performance and projected funding and capital position; the impact of further stress scenarios has also been considered. On this basis, the directors are satisfied that the Group will maintain adequate levels of funding and capital for the foreseeable future.

The Group's accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the Group in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and there have been no changes in the Group's methods of computation.

The IASB has issued its annual improvements and a number of amendments to the IFRS Accounting Standards effective 1 January 2026, including Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosure. These improvements and amendments have not had a significant impact on the Group.

Future accounting developments

There are a number of new accounting pronouncements issued by the IASB with an effective date of 1 January 2027, including IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. While many of the existing requirements of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements are retained, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements introduces additional disclosure obligations in relation to the structure of the income statement, management-defined performance measures, and the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. IFRS 18 will have no impact on the Group's net profit as it impacts neither recognition nor measurement. The new standard will impact the presentation of the Group's results as it requires that operating, investing and financing activities are presented separately. There will also be a change in the Group's cash flow statement as IFRS 18 requires that the first line of the cash flow statement is operating profit rather than profit before tax.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures is being assessed and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group.

Other information

The Bank's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party is Lloyds Banking Group plc which is incorporated in Scotland. Lloyds Banking Group plc has published consolidated accounts for the year to 31 December 2025 and copies may be obtained from Investor Relations, Lloyds Banking Group plc, 33 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1HZ and are available for download from www.lloydsbankinggroup.com.

The financial information contained in this document does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act). The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 were approved by the directors on 26 February 2026 and were delivered to the Registrar of Companies on 19 March 2026. The independent auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not include a statement under sections 498(2) (accounting records or returns inadequate or accounts not agreeing with records and returns) or 498(3) (failure to obtain necessary information and explanations) of the Act.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 2: Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Group's financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts which differ from these estimates. Estimates, judgements and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In preparing the financial statements, the Group has considered the impact of climate-related risks on its financial position and performance. While the effects of climate change represent a source of uncertainty, the Group does not consider there to be a material impact on its judgements and estimates from the physical, transition and other climate-related risks in the short-term.

The Group's significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are unchanged compared to those disclosed in note 3 of the Group's 2025 financial statements. Further information on the critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty for the allowance for expected credit losses is set out in note 10.

Note 3: Segmental analysis

The Group provides a wide range of banking and financial services in the UK and in certain locations overseas. The Group Executive Committee (GEC) of the Lloyds Banking Group remains the chief operating decision maker, as defined by IFRS 8 Operating Segments, for the Group.

There has been no change to the descriptions of the segments as provided in note 4 to the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Note 6: Retirement benefit obligations

The Group's post-retirement defined benefit scheme obligations are comprised as follows:

	At 30 Jun 2026 £m		At 31 Dec 2025 £m
Defined benefit pension schemes:
Present value of funded obligations	(25,483)		(26,571)
Fair value of scheme assets	28,262		29,183
Net pension scheme asset	2,779		2,612

Total amounts recognised in the balance sheet	2,744		2,575
Recognised on the balance sheet as:
Retirement benefit assets	2,860		2,695
Retirement benefit obligations	(116)		(120)
Total amounts recognised in the balance sheet	2,744		2,575

Movements in the Group's net post-retirement defined benefit scheme asset during the period were as follows:

	£m
Asset at 1 January 2026	2,575
Income statement credit	15
Employer contributions	63
Remeasurement	91
Asset at 30 June 2026	2,744

The principal assumptions used in the valuations of the defined benefit pension schemes were as follows:

	At 30 Jun 2026 %		At 31 Dec 2025 %
Discount rate	6.03		5.57
Rate of inflation:
Retail Price Index (RPI)	2.77		2.65
Consumer Price Index (CPI)	2.33		2.13
Rate of salary increases	0.00		0.00
Weighted-average rate of increase for pensions in payment	2.61		2.52

In July 2024, the Court of Appeal handed down a judgment (Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees Limited) which potentially has implications for the validity of amendments made by pension schemes that were contracted out on a salary-related basis between 6 April 1997 and the abolition of contracting-out in 2016. The Pension Schemes Act 2026 gives affected pension schemes the ability to retrospectively obtain written actuarial confirmation that historic benefit changes met the necessary standards. The Group has not made any allowance for the possible impact of the ruling as it is currently unclear whether any additional liabilities might arise, and if they were to arise, how they would be reliably measured. The Group is continuing to review scheme amendments to decide whether any subsequent actions are required and will continue to monitor developments.

There was a £78 million charge in respect of residual value impairment and voluntary terminations within the Group's UK Motor Finance business in the current period (half-year to 30 June 2025: £70 million).

Note 8: Tax

In accordance with IAS 34, the Group's income tax expense for the half-year to 30 June 2026 is based on the best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The tax effects of one-off items are not included in the weighted-average annual income tax rate, but are recognised in the relevant period.

An explanation of the relationship between tax expense and accounting profit is set out below:

	Half-year to 30 Jun 2026 £m		Half-year to 30 Jun 2025 £m
Profit before tax	3,556		2,758

Comparatives are represented on a consistent basis.

Note 9: Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

The valuations of financial instruments have been classified into three levels according to the quality and reliability of information used to determine those fair values. Note 16 to the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 details the definitions of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised at fair value.

The Group manages valuation adjustments for its derivative exposures on a net basis; the Group determines their fair values on the basis of their net exposures. In all other cases, fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are determined on the basis of their gross exposures.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 9: Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

The following tables provide an analysis of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group that are carried at fair value in the Group's consolidated balance sheet, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. There were no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the period.

Financial assets	Level 1 £m		Level 2 £m		Level 3 £m		Total £m

Valuation control framework

Key elements of the valuation control framework include model validation (incorporating pre-trade and post-trade testing), product implementation review and independent price verification. The framework covers processes for all 3 levels in the fair value hierarchy. Formal committees meet quarterly to discuss and approve valuations in more judgemental areas.

Transfers into and out of level 3 portfolios

Transfers out of level 3 portfolios arise when inputs that could have a significant impact on the instrument's valuation become market observable; conversely, transfers into the portfolios arise when sources of data cease to be observable.

Valuation methodology

For level 2 and level 3 portfolios, there is no significant change to the valuation methodology (techniques and inputs) disclosed in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 applied to these portfolios.

Reasonably possible alternative assumptions

Valuation techniques applied to the Group's level 3 instruments involve the use of unobservable inputs. The calculation of the effect of reasonably possible alternative assumptions for those inputs are included in the tables from that described in note 16 to the Lloyds Bank plc's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

For each portfolio, the maximum and minimum changes presented reflect the difference between the significant unobservable inputs used in the balance sheet valuation and those used when applying reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

Note 10: Allowance for expected credit losses

The calculation of the Group's allowance for expected credit losses requires the Group to make a number of judgements, assumptions and estimates. These are set out in full in note 19 to the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, with the most significant set out below.

The table below analyses total ECL allowance by portfolio, separately identifying the amounts that have been modelled, those that have been individually assessed and those arising through the application of judgemental adjustments.

Adjustments to modelled ECL

UK mortgages: £67 million (31 December 2025: £108 million)

These adjustments principally comprise:

Repossession risk: £67 million (31 December 2025: £85 million)

Additional ECL continues to be held judgementally to capture the potential repossession and recovery risk from specific subsets of largely long-term defaulted cases. The reduction in the adjustment comes from the reclassification of one part previously needed to set an anticipated longer duration between default and repossession than was observable at the time. Having now seen that elongation emerge and subsequently normalise there is now sufficient observable behaviour to return to a data driven approach.

Adjustment for specific segments: £nil (31 December 2025: £13 million)

An adjustment was previously required to address fire safety and cladding uncertainty as not fully captured through collective models. This adjustment has been fully released as the risk is now deemed immaterial following reduction in exposure to these properties.

Credit cards: £56 million (31 December 2025: £63 million) and Other Retail: £73 million (31 December 2025: £75 million)

These adjustments principally comprise:

Lifetime extension: Credit cards: £49 million (31 December 2025: £49 million) and Other Retail: £9 million (31 December 2025: £9 million)

An adjustment is required to extend the lifetime used for Stage 2 exposures on Retail revolving products from a three-year modelled lifetime, which reflected the outcome data available when the ECL models were developed, to a more representative lifetime. Incremental defaults beyond year three are calculated through the extrapolation of the default trajectory observed throughout the three years and beyond.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 10: Allowance for expected credit losses (continued)

Adjustments to loss rates: Other Retail: £37 million (31 December 2025: £25 million)

An adjustment is made to the loss given default (LGD) assumptions within the motor credit model to capture observed loss rates and the latest outlook on used car prices. The increase in the period reflects both the further adjustment required as the model now captures distorted historical loss-data from the Covid-period, as well as a small expected deterioration in loss rates.

Commercial Banking: £(54) million (31 December 2025: £(21) million)

These adjustments principally comprise:

Corporate insolvency rates: £(104) million (31 December 2025: £(119) million)

The volume of UK corporate insolvencies continues to exhibit an elevated trend beyond December 2019 levels, revealing a marked misalignment between observed UK corporate insolvencies and the Group's equivalent credit performance. This dislocation gives rise to uncertainty over the drivers of the observed trends in the metric and the appropriateness of the Group's Commercial Banking model response which uses observed UK corporate insolvencies data to anchor future loss estimates to. Given the Group's stable credit performance, a negative adjustment is applied by reverting judgementally to the long-term average of the insolvency rate. The scale of the negative adjustment reduced in the period reflecting the reduction in observed actual UK corporate insolvency rates, narrowing the gap of the misalignment.

Adjustments for loss given defaults (LGDs): £50 million (31 December 2025: £50 million)

An adjustment is required for a specific segment of the SME portfolio which judgementally applies a more appropriate blended LGD rate from credit risk profile segments more aligned to experience.

Global tariff and political disruption risks: £nil (31 December 2025: £48 million)

An adjustment was previously held to recognise the potential risks to specific drivers across various corporate sectors not reflected in broad macroeconomic model drivers. These were in relation to potential nuanced risks to businesses inherent in the base case which could also worsen in the downside scenarios. This adjustment has been fully released as these risks are considered to be adequately captured within assumptions and resulting modelled provisions.

Note 10: Allowance for expected credit losses (continued)

Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group's base case economic scenario has been updated to reflect ongoing geopolitical developments and conditions in financial and commodity markets through to the balance sheet date. The Group's updated base case scenario has four conditioning assumptions. First, developments in global conflicts, technology or financial sector issues do not cause a significant degree of financial market volatility. Second, a drift towards further deglobalisation and financial market fragmentation continues as part of a reordering of global economic relations, adding to economic frictions. Third, the UK's existing macroeconomic framework for monetary and fiscal policy remains in place, alongside broader continuity on other areas of government policy. Fourth, advancements in AI begin to boost UK productivity growth but worsen the employment outlook in a 'transitional' phase around the turn of the decade.

Based on these assumptions and incorporating the economic data published in the second quarter of 2026, the Group's base case scenario is for a slow expansion in gross domestic product (GDP) and a further rise in the unemployment rate alongside small gains in residential and commercial property prices. Although inflationary pressures attributable to the conflict in the Middle East are yet to peak, UK Bank Rate is expected to remain on hold during 2026, before reaching a 'neutral' policy stance in 2027. Risks around this base case economic view lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

The Group's approach to generating alternative economic scenarios is set out in detail in note 19 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Group has taken into account the latest available information at the reporting date in defining its base case scenario and generating alternative economic scenarios. The scenarios include forecasts for key variables as at the second quarter of 2026. Actuals for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to publication and have not been included.

Scenarios by year

The key UK economic assumptions made by the Group are shown in the following tables across a number of measures explained below.

Annual assumptions

Gross domestic product (GDP) growth and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation are presented as an annual change, house price growth and commercial real estate price growth are presented as the growth in the respective indices over each year. Unemployment rate and UK Bank Rate are averages over the year.

Five-year average

The five-year average reflects the average annual growth rate, or level, over the five-year period. It includes movements within the current reporting year, such that the position as of 30 June 2026 covers the five years 2026 to 2030. The inclusion of the reporting year within the five-year period reflects the need to predict variables which remain unpublished at the reporting date and recognises that credit models utilise both level and annual changes. The use of calendar years maintains a comparability between the annual assumptions presented.

Covered bonds and securitisation programmes

At 30 June 2026, the covered bonds held by external parties and those held internally, were secured on certain loans and advances to customers amounting to £33,936 million (31 December 2025: £22,072 million) which have been assigned to bankruptcy remote limited liability partnerships to provide security for issues of covered bonds by the Group. The Group retains all of the risks and rewards associated with these loans and the partnerships are consolidated fully with the loans retained on the Group's balance sheet.

The Group's securitisation vehicles issue notes that are held both externally and internally, and are secured on loans and advances to customers amounting to £29,372 million at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: £27,418 million), the majority of which have been sold to bankruptcy remote structured entities. As the structured entities are funded by the issue of debt on terms whereby the majority of the risks and rewards of the portfolio are retained by the subsidiary, the structured entities are consolidated fully and all of these loans are retained on the Group's balance sheet.

Cash deposits of £3,695 million (31 December 2025: £3,326 million) which support the debt securities issued by the structured entities, the term advances related to covered bonds and other legal obligations, are held by the Group.

Note 12: Provisions (continued)

Regulatory and legal provisions

In the course of its business, the Group is engaged on a regular basis in discussions with UK and overseas regulators and other governmental authorities on a range of matters, including legal and regulatory reviews and, from time to time, enforcement investigations (including in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, such as those relating to prudential regulation, consumer protection, investment advice, employment, business conduct, systems and controls, environmental, sustainability, competition/anti-trust, tax, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and sanctions). Any matters discussed or identified during such discussions and inquiries may result in, among other things, further inquiry or investigation, other action being taken by governmental and/or regulatory authorities, increased costs being incurred by the Group, remediation of systems and controls, public or private censure, restriction of the Group's business activities and/or fines. The Group also receives complaints and pre-action correspondence in connection with its past conduct and claims brought or threatened by or on behalf of current and former employees, customers (including their appointed representatives), investors and other third parties and is subject to legal proceedings and other legal or regulatory actions from time to time. Any such events or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, operations or cash flows. Provisions are held where the Group can reliably estimate a probable outflow of economic resources. The ultimate liability of the Group may be significantly more, or less, than the amount of any provision recognised. If the Group is unable to determine a reliable estimate, a contingent liability is disclosed. The recognition of a provision does not amount to an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Group. During the half-year to 30 June 2026 the Group charged a further £31 million in respect of legal actions and other regulatory matters and the unutilised balance at 30 June 2026 was £2,105 million (31 December 2025: £2,193 million). The most significant items are outlined below.

Motor commission review

There have been no further charges relating to motor finance commission arrangements for the period ending 30 June 2026. As at 30 June 2026, the total provision recognised is £1,950 million.

The Supreme Court judgment in Johnson v FirstRand Bank Limited in August 2025 found that there was an unfair relationship under s.140A of the Consumer Credit Act (CCA). Following that judgment, the FCA published Consultation Paper CP25/27 in October 2025 setting out detailed proposals for a scheme to redress unfair customer relationships in the context of historic motor finance agreements.

The FCA subsequently published its policy statement and final rules for its motor finance redress schemes on 30 March 2026. On 2 July 2026, the FCA stated that the schemes have been partially suspended by the Upper Tribunal, pending the outcome of challenges from a number of parties. As a result, firms are not required to calculate or pay compensation or issue compensation-related communications under the original timetable for the schemes, although they must continue preparatory activities and comply with the aspects of the schemes which have not been suspended, including communicating with customers who are not entitled to redress under the schemes. The FCA further stated that if the schemes, or parts thereof, were quashed, the FCA would need to carefully consider all options. One of these options includes a 'no scheme' scenario, and the FCA also announced that firms should plan for this scenario in the event of successful challenge.

The FCA also announced on 2 July 2026 that payments to customers will begin in 2027 if the schemes are upheld, based on Upper Tribunal hearing dates in December 2026 or the second half of February 2027. The Group will continue to consider carefully potential implications of the challenges to the schemes and any impact on the existing provision arising from any challenges succeeding (whether in full or in part) and the regulatory response to the challenge outcome (including a possible "no scheme" scenario).

The pause on motor finance complaints handling was lifted on 31 May 2026. This does not impact motor finance complaints within the scope of the FCA's redress schemes as the schemes' rules disapply complaint handling time limits for such complaints. The FCA also lifted the pause on handling motor finance complaints in respect of leasing products on 5 December 2025, such products not being within the scope of the FCA redress schemes. The Group continues to receive new complaints as well as claims in the County Courts in respect of motor finance commissions. A large number of those claims have been stayed, as has a claim in the Competition Appeal Tribunal. On 30 June 2026, the Court of Appeal determined that, in a case before it involving Black Horse Limited, a member of the Group, multiple unfair relationship claims could be dealt with via one bulk Claim Form. Leave to appeal has been sought by Black Horse Limited. It remains uncertain how many customers will pursue court action given that the schemes are intended to provide a simpler alternative for redress.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 12: Provisions (continued)

The ultimate financial impact of this issue will be determined by a number of factors still to be resolved, in particular, challenge and litigation outcomes, customer response rates, operational costs, any further interventions and any broader implications of legal and/or regulatory developments. Given the significant level of uncertainty in terms of these factors, the ultimate financial impact on the Group could differ materially from the amount provided. The total £1,950 million provision continues to represent the Group's current best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance issue.

HBOS Reading - review

The Group continues to apply the recommendations from Sir Ross Cranston's review, issued in December 2019, including a reassessment of direct and consequential losses by an independent panel (the Foskett Panel), an extension of debt relief and a wider definition of de facto directors. The Foskett Panel's full scope and methodology was published on 7 July 2020. The Foskett Panel's stated objective is to consider cases via a non-legalistic and fair process and to make its decisions in a generous, fair and common sense manner, assessing claims against an expanded definition of the fraud and on a lower evidential basis.

In June 2022, the Foskett Panel announced an alternative option, in the form of a fixed sum award which could be accepted as an alternative to participation in the full re-review process, to support earlier resolution of claims for those deemed by the Foskett Panel to be victims of the fraud.

All of the population have now had an initial decision, with a small number of the populations' challenges to the Panel's initial decision ongoing through the published process, with operational costs, redress and tax costs associated with the re-reviews recognised within the amount provided.

Notwithstanding the settled claims and the increase in outcomes which builds confidence in the full estimated cost, uncertainties remain and the final outcome could be different. The Group remains committed to implementing the recommendations in full. There is no confirmed timeline for the completion of the re-review process nor the separate review by Dame Linda Dobbs.

Payment protection insurance (PPI)

The Group continues to receive and challenge PPI litigation cases, with mainly operational costs and legal fees associated with litigation activity (including via bulk claims forms) recognised within regulatory and legal provisions.

Other

The Group carries provisions of £91 million (31 December 2025: £98 million) in respect of dilapidations, rent reviews and other property-related matters.

Provisions are also made for staff and other costs related to Group restructuring initiatives at the point at which the Group becomes committed to the expenditure; at 30 June 2026 provisions of £173 million (31 December 2025: £163 million) were held.

The Group carries provisions of £43 million (31 December 2025: £41 million) for indemnities and other matters relating to legacy business disposals in prior years. Whilst there remains significant uncertainty as to the timing of the utilisation of the provisions, the Group expects the majority of the remaining provisions to have been utilised by 31 December 2026.

Note 15: Related party transactions

Balances and transactions with fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings

The Bank and its subsidiaries have balances due to and from the Bank's parent company, Lloyds Banking Group plc, and fellow Group undertakings. These are included on the balance sheet as follows:

	At 30 Jun 2026 £m		At 31 Dec 2025 £m
Assets, included within:
Derivative financial instruments	722		742
Financial assets at amortised cost: due from fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings	1,462		1,182
Liabilities, included within:
Due to fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings	5,522		3,852
Derivative financial instruments	610		580
Debt securities in issue at amortised cost	19,506		18,223
Subordinated liabilities	8,214		8,600

During the half-year to 30 June 2026 the Group earned £25 million (half-year to 30 June 2025: £9 million) of interest income and incurred £750 million (half-year to 30 June 2025: £643 million) of interest expense and recognised net fee and commission expense of £52 million (half year to 30 June 2025: net fee and commission expense of £47 million) on balances and transactions with Lloyds Banking Group plc and fellow Group undertakings.

Other related party transactions

Other related party transactions for the half-year to 30 June 2026 are similar in nature to those for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Note 16: Contingent liabilities, commitments and guarantees

Contingent liabilities, commitments and guarantees arising from the banking business

At 30 June 2026 contingent liabilities, such as performance bonds and letters of credit, arising from the banking business were £3,011 million (31 December 2025: £2,987 million).

The contingent liabilities of the Group arise in the normal course of its banking business and it is not practicable to quantify their future financial effect. Total commitments and financial guarantees were £144,260 million (31 December 2025: £135,570 million), of which in respect of undrawn formal standby facilities, credit lines and other commitments to lend, £72,335 million (31 December 2025: £65,360 million) was irrevocable.

Capital commitments

Capital expenditure contracted but not provided for at 30 June 2026 amounted to £788 million (31 December 2025: £610 million) and related to assets to be leased to customers under operating leases. The Group's management is confident that future net revenues and funding will be sufficient to cover these commitments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 16: Contingent liabilities, commitments and guarantees (continued)

Interchange fees

With respect to multi-lateral interchange fees (MIFs), the Lloyds Banking Group is not a party in the ongoing or threatened litigation which involves the card schemes Visa and Mastercard or any settlements of such litigation. However, the Group is a member/licensee of Visa and Mastercard and other card schemes.

Litigation has been brought by or on behalf of retailers against both Visa and Mastercard in the English Courts, in which retailers are seeking damages on grounds that Visa and Mastercard's MIFs breached competition law. This includes a final judgment of the Supreme Court in 2020 that certain historic interchange arrangements of Mastercard and Visa infringed competition law and a subsequent judgment of the Competition Appeal Tribunal in June 2025 finding that all default interchange fee rules of Mastercard and Visa (including after the Interchange Fee Regulation) infringed competition law.

Separate litigation was brought on behalf of UK consumers in the English Courts against Mastercard (settlement of which was approved by the Competition Appeal Tribunal in the first half of 2025).

Any impact on the Group of the litigation against Visa and Mastercard remains uncertain at this time, such that it is not practicable for the Group to provide an estimate of any potential financial effect. Insofar as Visa is required to pay damages to retailers for interchange fees set prior to June 2016, contractual arrangements to allocate liability have been agreed between various UK banks (including the Lloyds Banking Group) and Visa Inc, as part of Visa Inc's acquisition of Visa Europe in 2016. These arrangements cap the maximum amount of liability to which the Lloyds Banking Group may be subject as the amount of cash consideration received by the Lloyds Banking Group in 2016 for the sale of its stake in Visa Europe.

LIBOR and other trading rates

Certain Lloyds Banking Group companies, together with other panel banks, were previously named as defendants in private lawsuits in the US in connection with their roles as panel banks contributing to the setting of US dollar, Japanese yen and Sterling London Interbank Offered Rate. Certain Group company dismissals from these lawsuits remain subject to appeal.

A Lloyds Banking Group entity is also named as a defendant in a Dutch class action, raising LIBOR manipulation allegations and one English claim relating to the alleged mis-sale of interest rate hedging products which also includes an allegation of LIBOR manipulation.

It is currently not possible to predict the scope and ultimate outcome on the Lloyds Banking Group of any private lawsuits. As such, it is not practicable to provide an estimate of any potential financial effect.

Tax authorities

The Group has an open matter in relation to a claim for group relief of losses incurred in its former Irish banking subsidiary, which ceased trading on 31 December 2010. In 2020, HMRC concluded its enquiry into the matter and issued a closure notice denying the group relief claim. The Group appealed to the First Tier Tax Tribunal. The hearing took place in May 2023. In January 2025, the First Tier Tribunal concluded in favour of HMRC. The Group believes it has applied the rules correctly and that the claim for group relief is correct. Having reviewed the Tribunal's conclusions and having taken appropriate advice the Group has appealed to the Upper Tier Tax Tribunal, and does not consider this to be a case where an additional tax liability will ultimately fall due. If the final determination of the matter by the judicial process is that HMRC's position is correct, management believes that this would result in an increase in current tax liabilities of approximately £855 million (including interest) and a reduction in the Group's deferred tax asset of approximately £270 million. Following the First Tier Tax Tribunal outcome, the tax has been paid to HMRC and recognised as a current tax asset, given the Group's view that the tax liability will not ultimately fall due. The appeal has been listed for hearing in March 2027, however final conclusion of the judicial process may not be for several years.

There are a number of other open matters on which the Group is in discussions with HMRC (including the tax treatment of costs relating to HBOS Reading), none of which is expected to have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Note 16: Contingent liabilities, commitments and guarantees (continued)

Arena and Sentinel litigation claims

The Group is facing claims brought by (i) Arena Television Limited and Arena Holdings Limited and (ii) Sentinel Broadcast Limited, alleging breach of duty and/or mandate in connection with an external fraud. The Group is continuing to defend the claims, which are now proceeding to trial expected in October 2028. At this stage, it is not practicable to estimate the final outcome of the matter or its financial impact (if any) to the Group.

Other legal actions and regulatory matters

In addition, in the course of its business the Group is subject to other complaints and threatened or actual legal proceedings (including class or group actions) brought by or on behalf of current or former employees, customers (including their appointed representatives), investors or other third parties, as well as legal and regulatory reviews, enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, challenges, investigations and enforcement actions, which could relate to a number of issues. This includes matters in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, such as those relating to prudential regulation, employment, consumer protection, investment advice, business conduct, systems and controls, environmental, sustainability, competition/anti-trust, tax, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and sanctions, some of which may be beyond the Group's control, both in the UK and overseas. Where material, such matters are periodically reassessed, with the assistance of external professional advisers where appropriate, to determine the likelihood of the Group incurring a liability. The Group does not currently expect the final outcome of any such case to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, operations or cash flows. Where there is a contingent liability related to an existing provision the relevant disclosures are included within note 12.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO LLOYDS BANK PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Lloyds Bank plc and its subsidiaries (the Group) to review the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 which comprises the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 16. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and United Kingdom adopted International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom (ISRE (UK) 2410). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group will be prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted international accounting standards. The condensed consolidated set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Conclusion relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly financial report, we are responsible for expressing to the Group a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the basis for conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Group in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Group those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Group, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
