Insights

Banking sector analyst

Solid core trends; one‑off remediation tempers near‑term returns.

Lloyds delivered higher income with margin expansion and volume growth. Underlying net interest income was £10.1bn (up 6%) and the banking NIM improved to 3.06% in Q3 as the structural hedge contribution increased.

Earnings were reduced by a remediation charge tied to motor finance commission arrangements: £800m in Q3, lifting the total provision to £1.95bn. Asset quality remained resilient (asset quality ratio 0.18% YTD), and capital stayed strong with a CET1 ratio of 13.8%.

Updated 2025 guidance lists underlying NII of c.£13.6bn, operating costs c.£9.7bn (ex‑SPW), ROTE c.12%, and capital generation c.145 bps. Key upcoming milestones include the strategy update on 6 Nov 2025 and preliminary results on 29 Jan 2026.

Q3 2025 Results

23 October 2025

RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

“The Group continues to perform well, demonstrating robust financial performance alongside strategic progress, including our recent acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth.

Strong capital generation was supported by income growth, cost discipline and strong asset quality in the first nine months of 2025, despite the impact of the additional motor finance charge in the third quarter. Our strategic progress combined with this financial performance gives us confidence in our performance for the year and our 2026 guidance.”

Charlie Nunn, Group Chief Executive

Robust financial performance1

●

Statutory profit after tax of £3.3 billion (nine months to 30 September 2024: £3.8 billion) with net income up 6% and an £800 million charge for motor finance commission arrangements in the third quarter. Return on tangible equity of 11.9%, or 14.6% excluding the third quarter charge for motor finance

●

Underlying net interest income of £10.1 billion, up 6% compared to the first nine months of 2024. This reflected a banking net interest margin of 3.04%, up 10 basis points year-on-year (up 2 basis points quarter-on-quarter to 3.06%), alongside higher average interest-earning banking assets of £460.4 billion

●

Underlying other income of £4.5 billion, 9% higher than the prior year (and 3% higher quarter-on-quarter), driven by strengthening customer activity and the benefit of our strategic initiatives

●

Operating lease depreciation of £1,075 million, up 8% in line with fleet growth

●

Operating costs of £7.2 billion, up 3% versus the prior year, reflecting inflationary pressures, strategic investment and business growth costs, partially offset by cost savings and continued cost discipline

●

Remediation costs of £912 million, including £875 million in the third quarter, of which £800 million was in relation to the potential impact of motor finance commission arrangements. The total motor finance provision of £1.95 billion represents the Group's best estimate of the potential impact of this issue

●

Strong asset quality with an underlying impairment charge of £618 million; asset quality ratio of 18 basis points

●

Underlying loans and advances to customers increased by £18.0 billion (4%) in the first nine months to £477.1 billion, with growth across Retail of £15.2 billion and Commercial Banking of £2.5 billion. Balances increased by £6.1 billion in the third quarter, with growth in Retail and Corporate and Institutional Banking

●

Customer deposits increased in the first nine months of 2025 by £14.0 billion (3%) to £496.7 billion, with £4.0 billion growth in Retail and £10.0 billion in Commercial Banking. Customer deposits grew by £2.8 billion in the third quarter, largely within Commercial Banking

●

Risk-weighted assets of £232.3 billion, up £7.7 billion in the first nine months of 2025, reflecting lending growth offset by ongoing optimisation activity

●

Strong capital generation of 110 basis points, or 141 basis points excluding the third quarter charge for motor finance. CET1 ratio of 13.8% after 74 basis points for the interim ordinary dividend paid and the foreseeable ordinary dividend accrual

●

Tangible net assets per share of 55.0 pence, up by 2.6 pence in the first nine months of 2025, from attributable profit, the unwind of the cash flow hedging reserve and a reduction in the number of shares in issue due to the ongoing share buyback, partially offset by capital distributions

●

On 9 October, the Group announced the full acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth, previously operated as a joint venture with Schroders Group. The acquired business supports c.£17 billion in assets under administration and accelerates delivery of the Group’s wealth strategy to deepen relationships in a high value segment

2025 guidance revised

Based on our current macroeconomic assumptions, for 2025 the Group expects:

●

Underlying net interest income now expected to be c.£13.6 billion

●

Operating costs of c.£9.7 billion, excluding the acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth2

●

Asset quality ratio now expected to be c.20 basis points

●

Return on tangible equity now expected to be c.12% (c.14% excluding the third quarter motor finance charge)

●

Capital generation now expected to be c.145 basis points3 (c.175 basis points3 excluding the third quarter motor finance charge)

1 See the basis of presentation on page 4.

2 Modestly greater than £9.7 billion, including the acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth in the fourth quarter of 2025.

3 Excludes capital distributions.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCEA

Income statementA

The Group’s statutory profit before tax for the first nine months of 2025 was £4,678 million. This included higher total income and a charge for motor finance commission arrangements in the third quarter. Profit after tax was £3,322 million and earnings per share was 4.8 pence (nine months to 30 September 2024: £3,777 million and 5.3 pence respectively).

The Group’s underlying profit was £4,851 million in the first nine months of 2025 (nine months to 30 September 2024: £5,350 million). Higher net income was more than offset by the charge for motor finance in the third quarter and a higher underlying impairment charge given a significant release from an improved economic outlook in 2024. Underlying profit in the third quarter of 2025 was £1,290 million, down 36% compared to the second quarter, or up 3% excluding the charge for motor finance, given strengthening income.

Net income of £13,557 million was up 6% compared to the first nine months of 2024, driven by higher underlying net interest income and higher underlying other income, partially offset by an increased charge for operating lease depreciation. Net income in the third quarter of £4,643 million was up 3% compared to the second quarter, including higher underlying net interest income and higher underlying other income, partially offset by a modest increase in operating lease depreciation.

Within net income, underlying net interest income of £10,106 million was up 6% versus the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2024: £9,569 million). This was supported by a banking net interest margin of 3.04% (nine months to 30 September 2024: 2.94%). The net interest margin benefitted from a growing structural hedge contribution as balances were reinvested in a higher rate environment, partially offset by mortgage refinancing driving margin compression and deposit churn headwinds. Average interest-earning banking assets in the first nine months of 2025 of £460.4 billion reflect strong growth relative to the first nine months of 2024 (nine months to 30 September 2024: £449.9 billion), primarily driven by UK mortgages, credit cards, UK Retail unsecured loans and the European retail business. In Commercial Banking, average interest-earning banking assets reduced, driven by continued repayments of government-backed lending within Business and Commercial Banking and lower lending to banks. Underlying net interest income in the first nine months of 2025 included a non-banking net interest expense of £372 million (nine months to 30 September 2024: £347 million), increasing as a result of refinancing activities at higher rates and growth in the Group’s non-banking businesses.

Underlying net interest income of £3,451 million in the third quarter of 2025 was 3% higher than the second quarter (three months to 30 June 2025: £3,361 million). A growing structural hedge contribution more than offset the impact of continued headwinds from asset margin compression and deposit churn. This resulted in an increase in the banking net interest margin to 3.06% (three months to 30 June 2025: 3.04%). Average interest-earning banking assets were higher in the third quarter at £465.5 billion (three months to 30 June 2025: £460.0 billion), driven by UK mortgages, unsecured lending and the European retail business. The Group now expects underlying net interest income for 2025 to be c.£13.6 billion.

The Group manages the risk to earnings and capital from movements in interest rates by hedging the net liabilities which are stable or less sensitive to movements in rates. As at 30 September 2025, the notional balance of the sterling structural hedge was £244 billion (31 December 2024: £242 billion) with a stable weighted average duration of approximately three-and-a-half years (31 December 2024: approximately three-and-a-half years). The Group generated £4.0 billion of total income from sterling structural hedge balances in the first nine months of 2025, an increase of £1.0 billion over the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2024: £3.0 billion). The Group continues to expect sterling structural hedge earnings in 2025 to be £1.2 billion higher than in 2024.

Underlying other income of £4,526 million in the first nine months of 2025 grew by 9% compared to the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2024: £4,164 million), driven by strengthening customer activity and the benefit of investments in strategic initiatives. This included an increase of 13% in Retail, primarily driven by UK Motor Finance, including fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental values, alongside growth from packaged bank accounts. Insurance, Pensions and Investments underlying other income was up 5% from strengthening income in the workplace pensions business and higher general insurance income net of claims. Growth in Equity Investments and Central Items was driven by the Group’s equity and direct investment businesses, with strong income growth from Lloyds Living and higher income from Lloyds Development Capital. This was partially offset by a 2% reduction in Commercial Banking year-on-year, reflecting higher transaction banking income more than offset by lower loan markets activity, with the prior period benefitting from gains that did not repeat.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Income statementA (continued)

Compared to the second quarter of 2025, underlying other income in the third quarter was up 3%, supported in Retail by continued UK Motor Finance growth and growth in current account debit card fees, alongside higher valuations in LBG Investments.

Operating lease depreciation of £1,075 million in the first nine months of 2025 was 8% higher than in the prior year (nine months to 30 September 2024: £994 million), due to fleet growth, the depreciation of higher value vehicles and declines in used electric car prices. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, operating lease depreciation is 3% higher, in line with the continued growth in fleet size. The Group continues to mitigate used car price movements through a number of market and customer initiatives to improve performance and reduce volatility, including extended used car leasing, remarketing agreements and residual value insurance.

Operating costs of £7,176 million were up 3% reflecting inflationary pressures, strategic investment including planned higher severance front-loaded into the first quarter of 2025 and business growth costs. Excluding increased severance in 2025, operating costs were up 2% year-on-year. This was partially offset by cost savings and continued cost discipline. For 2025, operating costs are expected to be c.£9.7 billion, excluding the acquisition of Schroders Personal Wealth in the fourth quarter of 2025.

A remediation charge of £912 million was recognised by the Group in the first nine months of 2025 (nine months to 30 September 2024: £124 million), with £875 million in the third quarter, including £800 million in relation to the potential impact of motor finance commission arrangements, bringing the total provision for motor finance to £1.95 billion. The FCA published a consultation on an industry wide motor finance redress scheme on 7 October 2025. This provides further detail on its proposed redress approach following the Supreme Court judgment handed down on 1 August 2025, in particular the products in scope, situations where it considers inadequate disclosure would give rise to an unfair relationship, proposed redress methodology, engagement approach and time bar. Based on the FCA proposals in their current form, the potential impact is at the adverse end of the Group’s range of expected outcomes.

As previously stated, in establishing the Group’s previous provision of £1.15 billion, the Group created a range of scenarios to address uncertainties on a number of key inputs. The FCA proposals are subject to consultation and there remain a number of uncertainties. Accordingly, the Group’s approach continues to consider a probability weighted outcome considering a range of scenarios representing sensitivities to the FCA’s current proposals, together resulting in the additional charge of £800 million. This reflects the increased likelihood of a higher number of historical cases, particularly DCA, being eligible for redress, including those dating back to 2007 and also the likelihood of a higher level of redress than previously anticipated, reflecting the FCA’s proposed redress calculation approach, which is less closely linked to actual customer loss than anticipated.

The Group remains committed to ensuring customers receive appropriate redress where they suffered loss. The current FCA proposals remain a consultation. Given that the Group has concerns, including relating to the approach to unfairness and proposed redress methodology, representations will be made to the FCA. The ultimate outcome of the motor finance commission issue for the Group may evolve as a result of representations made by various parties as well as further legal proceedings. However, the total £1.95 billion provision, including both redress and operational costs, represents the Group’s best estimate of the potential impact of the motor finance issue.

Total costs, including remediation, of £8,088 million were 14% higher than the prior year and the cost:income ratio was 59.7% (nine months to 30 September 2024: 55.9%), with net income up 6%. The cost:income ratio excluding remediation for the first nine months of the year was 52.9%, and for the third quarter was 49.6%.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Income statementA (continued)

Asset quality has remained strong in the first nine months of 2025. The underlying impairment charge was £618 million (nine months to 30 September 2024: £273 million), resulting in an asset quality ratio of 18 basis points. The higher charge includes a £27 million net charge from updated multiple economic scenarios (MES), compared to a credit of £324 million in the prior year. The pre-updated MES charge of £591 million for the first nine months of 2025 is equivalent to an asset quality ratio of 17 basis points, broadly unchanged from the prior year. In Commercial Banking, higher charges in the first half of the year driven by a small number of individual cases were offset by lower expected losses recognised given observed resilient performance and improved expectations for accounts in recoveries. Retail portfolios continued to perform strongly, contributing to a stable year-on-year charge for the Group.

The impairment charge in the third quarter of £176 million (or 15 basis points) includes an updated MES charge of £36 million reflecting lower house price growth forecasts over the near term. This was alongside a pre-updated MES charge of £140 million, which included some one-off benefits primarily from model calibrations. The Group now expects the asset quality ratio to be c.20 basis points in 2025, below the original guidance of c.25 basis points.

Restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2025 were £16 million (nine months to 30 September 2024: £21 million).

Volatility and other items were a net loss of £157 million for the first nine months of 2025 (nine months to 30 September 2024: net loss of £182 million). This included the usual charges for the amortisation of purchased intangibles (£61 million) and the usual fair value unwind (£45 million). This was alongside a loss from market and other volatility of £51 million, including negative market volatility, partially offset by the gain on sale of the Group’s bulk annuities portfolio to Rothesay Life plc which completed in the second quarter.

The return on tangible equity for the first nine months of the year was 11.9%, or 14.6% excluding the third quarter charge for motor finance commission arrangements (nine months to 30 September 2024: 14.0%). The Group now expects the return on tangible equity for 2025 to be c.12% (c.14% excluding the third quarter motor finance charge).

Tangible net assets per share at 30 September 2025 were 55.0 pence, up 2.6 pence in the first nine months of the year (31 December 2024: 52.4 pence) and up 0.5 pence in the third quarter. The increase resulted from attributable profit, the unwind of the cash flow hedging reserve and a reduction in the number of shares in issue due to the ongoing share buyback. The third quarter benefitted from the unwind of an accrual for the ordinary share buyback in the second quarter, partially offset by capital distributions and the provision for motor finance.

The Group continued the share buyback announced in February 2025, with c.1.8 billion shares repurchased as at 30 September 2025, equivalent to £1.4 billion.

Balance sheet

The Group saw strong lending growth in the first nine months of 2025, with underlying loans and advances to customers increasing by £18.0 billion (or 4%) to £477.1 billion. This included growth of £8.7 billion in UK mortgages and growth across UK Retail unsecured loans, credit cards, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business. Lending balances increased by £2.5 billion in Commercial Banking, with higher Institutional balances alongside growth in securitised products, partially offset by repayments of £1.1 billion of government-backed lending within Business and Commercial Banking. Underlying loans and advances increased by £6.1 billion in the third quarter, with growth across Retail portfolios, primarily UK mortgages, alongside increased lending in Corporate and Institutional Banking, again partially offset by government-backed lending repayments within Business and Commercial Banking.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Balance sheet (continued)

Customer deposits of £496.7 billion increased significantly in the first nine months of the year, by £14.0 billion (or 3%). Retail deposits were up £4.0 billion in the period, including £3.5 billion growth in Retail savings accounts, as a result of net inflows to limited withdrawal and fixed term deposits given the Group’s strong performance throughout the ISA season, and growth in European retail balances. This was alongside £0.5 billion growth in current accounts, due to strength in customer income and subdued spend. Commercial Banking deposits were up £10.0 billion in the year to date (31 December 2024: £162.6 billion), resulting from growth in targeted sectors.

In the third quarter, customer deposits were up £2.8 billion. Retail deposits increased by £0.3 billion, with strength in current accounts partly offset by modest reductions in fixed term deposits, following post-ISA season pricing decisions. Commercial Banking deposits increased by £2.4 billion in the third quarter, resulting from growth in targeted sectors. Non-interest bearing current accounts in Commercial Banking were positive in the third quarter.

The Group saw growth of £3.7 billion net new money during the first nine months of 2025 in Insurance, Pensions and Investments and Wealth open book assets under administration (AuA). In total, open book AuA stand at £221 billion at 30 September 2025.

The Group has a large, high quality liquid asset portfolio held mainly in cash and government bonds, with all assets hedged for interest rate risk. The Group’s liquid assets continue to significantly exceed regulatory requirements and internal risk appetite, with a strong, stable liquidity coverage ratio of 145% at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: 146%) and a net stable funding ratio of 126% (31 December 2024: 129%). The loan to deposit ratio of 96%, stable compared to 31 December 2024, continues to reflect a robust funding and liquidity position, with significant capacity to grow lending.

The underlying expected credit loss (ECL) allowance has reduced slightly to £3.5 billion at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: £3.7 billion). The uplift from the base case to probability-weighted ECL is £0.4 billion (31 December 2024: £0.4 billion). The ECL allowance continues to include a £50 million judgemental adjustment taken in the first half of the year in respect of the global tariff and geo-political disruption risks to specific drivers across various corporate sectors not reflected in broad macroeconomic model drivers.

Capital

The Group’s CET1 capital ratio at 30 September 2025 was 13.8% (31 December 2024: 13.5% pro forma). Capital generation during the first nine months of the year was 110 basis points (141 basis points excluding the charge for motor finance commission arrangements). This reflected strong banking build and the £150 million interim dividend received from the Insurance business, partially offset by risk-weighted asset increases and the charge for motor finance. The impact of the interim ordinary dividend paid and the foreseeable ordinary dividend accrual equated to 74 basis points. The third quarter capital build of 24 basis points (55 basis points excluding the charge for motor finance) was driven by strong banking build, complemented by optimisation and the removal of temporary risk-weighted assets related to hedging activity, offset by the charge for motor finance. The Group now expects capital generation in 2025 to be c.145 basis points (c.175 basis points excluding the motor finance charge in the third quarter).

Risk-weighted assets increased by £7.7 billion to £232.3 billion at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: £224.6 billion). This reflects the impact of strong lending growth and other movements, partially offset through continued optimisation activity. In the third quarter, risk-weighted assets increased by £0.9 billion following lending growth and other movements, partially offset by optimisation and the removal of the temporary risk-weighted assets related to hedging activity. While no Retail secured CRD IV increases were recognised during the first nine months of the year, the Group continues to expect further uplifts to be recognised against performing exposures in respect of CRD IV secured assets, subject to finalisation with the PRA.

The PRA provided an update to the Group’s Pillar 2A CET1 capital requirement during the third quarter, with the requirement reducing slightly to c.1.4% of risk-weighted assets from the previous requirement of c.1.5% of risk-weighted assets. The Group’s total regulatory CET1 capital requirement remains c.12% of risk-weighted assets. The Board’s view of the ongoing level of total CET1 capital required to grow the business, meet current and future regulatory requirements and cover economic and business uncertainties remains c.13.0%. This includes a management buffer of c.1%. In order to manage risks and distributions in an orderly way, the Board intends to progress in stages towards paying down to the CET1 capital target of c.13.0% by the end of 2026.

Total ECL allowance by scenario – underlying basisA

The following table shows the Group’s ECL for the probability-weighted, upside, base case, downside and severe downside scenarios. As at 31 December 2024, the severe downside scenario incorporated adjustments made to UK Bank Rate and Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation paths which, as at 30 September 2025, have been removed.

Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group’s base case economic scenario has been updated to reflect ongoing geopolitical developments and changes in domestic economic policy. The Group’s updated base case scenario has the following conditioning assumptions. First, global conflicts do not lead to major discontinuities in commodity prices or global trade. Second, the US effective tariff rate is maintained at prevailing levels pending a switch to a sector-based tariff framework. Third, UK fiscal policy acts to restore a margin of headroom against the current fiscal rules.

Based on these assumptions and incorporating the economic data published in the second quarter of 2025, 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. With underlying inflationary pressures expected to recede slowly, modest reductions in UK Bank Rate are expected to continue in 2026, reaching a ‘neutral’ policy stance around the middle of the year. Risks around this base case economic view lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

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 third quarter of 2025. Actual data for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to publication and have not been included.

The Group’s approach to generating alternative economic scenarios is set out in detail in note 21 to the financial statements of the Group’s 2024 annual report and accounts. As at 30 September 2025, the non-modelled adjustments previously applied to UK Bank Rate and CPI inflation in the severe downside scenario have been removed. This is because the incremental ECL impact is no longer considered sufficiently material to justify their application. Accordingly, its removal has had no material impact on ECL.

UK economic assumptions – base case scenario by quarter

Key quarterly assumptions made by the Group in the base case scenario are shown below. GDP growth is presented quarter-on-quarter. House price growth, commercial real estate price growth and CPI inflation are presented year-on-year, i.e. from the equivalent quarter in the previous year. Unemployment rate and UK Bank Rate are presented as at the end of each quarter.
