Lloyds Banking Group posts £14,252m income; PBT £4,678m
Lloyds Banking Group reported unaudited nine‑month 2025 results. Statutory profit before tax was £4,678 million, down 9% year on year, as higher total income was more than offset by a significant remediation charge and higher impairments. Profit after tax was £3,322 million and basic earnings per share was 4.8 pence (5.3 pence a year ago).
Total income rose to £14,252 million, up 6%. Net interest income increased 7% to £9,808 million on higher interest‑earning assets and a stronger hedge contribution, partially offset by mortgage margin compression and deposit mix headwinds. Operating expenses were £8,955 million, reflecting inflation, investment, and an increased remediation charge related to motor finance commission arrangements.
The Group recognised £912 million of remediation in the period, including an £800 million Q3 charge, taking the motor finance provision to £1,950 million. The impairment charge was £619 million versus £272 million last year. On the balance sheet, total assets were £937,464 million, with customer deposits at £496,722 million. The CET1 ratio was 13.8% (14.2% at year‑end 2024) and risk‑weighted assets were £232.3 billion.

Insights
Solid income growth offset by remediation and higher impairments.
Lloyds Banking Group delivered 9M income growth, with total income at £14,252m (+6%) and net interest income at £9,808m (+7%). However, statutory profit before tax fell to £4,678m (‑9%) due to an £800m Q3 charge within a total £912m remediation related to motor finance commission arrangements, alongside higher operating costs.
Credit quality remained resilient, but the impairment charge rose to £619m from £272m in the prior period, which previously benefited from macro updates. Capital stayed robust with a CET1 ratio of 13.8% versus 14.2% at year‑end 2024 as buybacks, dividends, and higher RWAs (£232.3bn) weighed.
Key watchpoints are the consultation on the motor finance redress approach and any subsequent provisions or recoveries disclosed in future updates. Capital and deposit trends, alongside margin dynamics from mortgage refinancing, will frame near‑term performance.
