Lloyds Bank plc

2024 Q1 Interim Management Statement - Seite 3

Total liabilities were £541 million higher at £565,515 million compared to £564,974 million at 31 December 2023. Customer deposits stood at £440,021 million at the end of the first quarter, a decrease of £1,932 million. Retail deposits were up £1.3 billion in the quarter with a combined increase of £0.9 billion across Retail savings and Wealth, driven by inflows to limited withdrawal and fixed products and a £0.4 billion increase in current account balances, benefiting from seasonally lower spend and bank holiday timing impacts (with the latter expected to reverse in the second quarter). This was partly offset by seasonal tax payments and outflows to savings products, including the Group's own savings offers. Growth in Retail was more than offset by a reduction in Commercial Banking deposits of £3.1 billion, largely due to Small and Medium Businesses balance reductions. Offsetting this reduction, amounts due to fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings increased £930 million, debt securities in issue increased £1,649 million following issuances during the quarter and other liabilities increased £770 million driven by increased amounts due for settlement as a result of the bank holiday weekend.

Total equity increased from £40,431 million at 31 December 2023 to £40,522 million at 31 March 2024, as a result of profit for the period partly offset by increased longer-term rates impacting the cash flow hedging reserve and pension surplus, along with the dividend paid in the quarter.

Capital

The Group's common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio reduced from 14.4 per cent at 31 December 2023 to 14.2 per cent at 31 March 2024. Profit for the first three months of the year was offset by the accrual for foreseeable ordinary dividends and an increase in risk-weighted assets.

The Group's total capital ratio reduced from 20.5 per cent at 31 December 2023 to 20.1 per cent at 31 March 2024 reflecting the increase in risk-weighted assets and the impact of both interest rates and a reduction in eligible provisions on Tier 2 capital.

Risk-weighted assets have increased by £1,744 million during the quarter from £182,560 million at 31 December 2023 to £184,304 million at 31 March 2024. This largely reflected the impact of Retail lending. The impact from credit and model calibrations was minimal.

The Group's UK leverage ratio reduced from 5.6 per cent at 31 December 2023 to 5.5 per cent at 31 March 2024 reflecting an increase in the leverage exposure measure principally related to increases in securities financing transactions and off-balance sheet items.
