Underlying adjustments to the statutory view of performance 
 
In arriving at an underlying basis, the effects of certain items that do not promote an understanding of historical or
future trends of earnings or cash flows are removed; with management believing this presents a set of results that provide
a more reflective year-on-year comparison. These items are: 
 
 Item                                     FY2017£m  FY2016£m  Description                                                                                                                                            Reason for exclusion from the Group's current underlying performance                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 Conduct charges                          (58)      (51)      These are customer redress and associated costs arising from legacy products and past sales practices.                                                 These costs are historical in nature and are not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance.                                                                                                                                                                                          
 Restructure expense                      (67)      (45)      Restructuring of the business is currently ongoing with costs including redundancy payments, property vacation costs and associated enablement costs.  These costs are significant and are part of the Group's strategic objective in simplifying and streamlining operations and processes to enhance productivity. Consequently, this expense is not viewed as a normal ongoing operating cost to the Group.                                             
 Separation costs                         (8)       (11)      Costs incurred directly relating to the demerger from NAB.                                                                                             Specific costs relating to the demerger from NAB are historic and not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance.                                                                                                                                                                     
 Net gains on debt restructuring          -         1         These are the net gains arising on the repurchase of subordinated debt from NAB at the time of the demerger.                                           Losses or gains from one-off or infrequent transactions, such as those rising from debt restructures, are not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance.                                                                                                                             
 Impairment of intangible assets          -         (45)      This relates to the impairment of historic development costs and legacy software developed pre demerger.                                               Specific costs (or gains) relating to the demerger from NAB are historic and not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance. This includes the impact on the impairment of legacy intangible assets where post demerger, the Group had greater flexibility in its digital direction.  
 Gain on disposal of VocaLink/Visa share  20        7         A one-off gain recognised on the disposal of the Group's VocaLink and Visa Europe Limited share.                                                       Losses or gains from one-off or infrequent transactions are not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance.                                                                                                                                                                           
 Gain on DB pension scheme reforms        88        -         A one-off gain on the closure of the defined benefit pension scheme to future accrual for the majority of members.                                     Losses or gains from one-off or infrequent transactions are not indicative of the Group's current underlying performance.

Financial statements 
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 
Section 1: Basis of preparation 
 
 OverviewThis section sets out the Group's accounting policies that relate to the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates. This section also shows new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, relevant to the Group, and whether they are effective in 2017 or later years. We explain how these changes are expected to impact the financial position and performance of the Group.  
 
 
1.1    General information 
 
The Company is a public company limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act and
registered in England and Wales. 
 
The consolidated financial statements comprise those of the Company and its controlled entities, together the 'Group'. 
 
1.2    Basis of accounting 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of land
and buildings, investment properties, financial assets available for sale and certain other financial assets and
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 
 
1.3    Going concern 
 
The Group's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and
position, are set out in the Strategic report contained within the Group's Annual Report and Accounts. In addition, the
Risk report included within the Group's Annual Report and Accounts includes the Group's risk management objectives and the
Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital. 
 
In assessing the Group's going concern position as at 30 September 2017, the Directors have considered a number of factors,
including the current balance sheet position, the principal and emerging risks which could impact the performance of the
Group and the Group's strategic and financial plan which includes future projections of profitability, capital adequacy,
liquidity and funding. The assessment concluded that, for the foreseeable future, the Group has sufficient capital to
support its operations; has a funding and liquidity base which is strong, robust and well managed with future capacity; and
has expectations that performance will continue to improve as the Group's strategy is executed. 
 
As a result of the assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore believe that the Group is well
placed to manage its risks successfully in line with its business model and strategic aims. Accordingly, they continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 
 
1.4    Basis of consolidation 
 
Controlled entities are all entities (including structured entities) to which the Company is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the entity. An assessment of control is performed on an ongoing basis. 
 
Controlled entities are consolidated from the date on which control is established by the Group until the date that control
ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations other than those under common
control. A non-controlling interest is recognised by the Group in respect of any portion of the total assets less total
liabilities of an acquired entity or entities that is not owned by the Group. Post-acquisition, income received and
expenses incurred by the entity or entities acquired are included in the consolidated income statement on a line by line
basis in accordance with the accounting policies set out herein. Balances and transactions between entities within the
Group and any unrealised gains and losses arising from those transactions are eliminated in full upon consolidation. 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 
Section 1: Basis of preparation continued 
 
1.5    Foreign currency 
 
Functional and presentation currency 
 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in pounds sterling (GBP), which is also the Group's presentation currency, rounded to the nearest million pounds
sterling (£m) unless otherwise stated. 
 
Transactions and balances 
 
The Group records an asset, liability, expense or revenue arising from a transaction using the closing exchange rate
between the functional and foreign currency on the transaction date. At each subsequent reporting date, the Group
translates foreign currency monetary items at the closing rate. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation or
settlement of monetary items are recognised in the income statement during the year in which the gains or losses arise. 
 
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated at the date of the transaction, with those
measured at fair value translated at the date when the fair value is determined. Foreign exchange differences are
recognised directly in equity for non-monetary items where any component of associated gains or losses is recognised
directly in equity. Foreign exchange differences arising from non-monetary items, whereby the associated gains or losses
are recognised in the income statement, are also recognised in the income statement. 
 
1.6    Financial assets and liabilities 
 
Recognition and derecognition 
 
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised on the balance sheet when the Group becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets classified within fair value through
profit or loss are recognised on trade date. 
 
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual cash flows from the asset expire or it transfers the right to
receive contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group has discharged its obligation to the
contract, or the contract is cancelled or expires. 
 
Offsetting 
 
This can only occur, and the net amount be presented on the balance sheet, when the Group currently has a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously. 
 
1.7    Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosed amount of contingent
liabilities. Assumptions made at each balance sheet date are based on best estimates at that date. Although the Group has
internal control systems in place to ensure that estimates can be reliably measured, actual amounts may differ from those
estimates. The Group considers the most significant use of accounting estimates and judgements relate to the following
areas: 
 
·      financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (note 3.3); 
 
·      impairment provisions on credit exposures (note 3.6); 
 
·      deferred tax (note 3.11); 
 
·      PPI redress provision and other conduct related matters (note 3.14); and 
 
·      retirement benefit obligations (note 3.16).

1.8    New accounting standards and interpretations 
 
The Group has adopted the following International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) pronouncements in the current financial
year. Except where otherwise stated, these did not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial
statements: 
 
·      amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: 'Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation', issued May
2014 and effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016. IAS 16 and IAS 38 both establish the principle
for the basis of depreciation and amortisation being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of
an asset. This amendment provides clarification that the use of certain revenue based methods to calculate depreciation is
not appropriate. 
 
·      'Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2012-2014 Cycle', issued September 2014 and effective for financial years
beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The IASB has made amendments to the following standards that are relevant to the
Group: IFRS 5: 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'; IFRS 7: 'Financial Instruments:
Disclosures'; IAS 19: 'Employee Benefits'; and IAS 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. 
 
·      amendments to IAS 1: 'Disclosure Initiative', issued December 2014 and effective for financial years beginning on or
after 1 January 2016. This includes a narrow scope amendment providing clarification to existing IAS 1: 'Presentation of
Financial Statements' requirements. 
 
New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted 
 
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (issued July 2014) and IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' (issued September
2015) are both effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and have been endorsed by the EU. IFRS 16
'Leases' was issued in January 2016 and is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and has been
endorsed by the EU. Separate updates on the Group's implementation of these new standards can be found at the end of this
section. 
 
There are a number of other standards and amendments that are either not available for adoption in the EU or are otherwise
not mandatory at 30 September 2017 and have not been applied by the Group in preparing these financial statements. The
pronouncements, while relevant to the Group, are not anticipated to have a material impact and include: 
 
·      amendments to IAS 12: 'Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses' (1), issued in January 2016 and
effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The amendments clarify the requirements on the
recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses; 
 
·      amendments to IAS 7: 'Disclosure initiative' (1), issued in January 2016 and effective for financial years beginning
on or after 1 January 2017. The amendments to IAS 7: 'Statement of Cash Flows' require disclosures that enable users of the
financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from an entity's financing activities; 
 
·      amendments to IFRS 2: 'Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions' (2), issued in June 2016
and effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The amendments provide guidance on the effects of
vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; classification of share-based
payments with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and accounting for modifications to a share-based
payment that change the classification from cash-settled to equity-settled; 
 
·      amendments to IFRS 9: 'Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation' (2), issued in October 2017 and effective for
financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The amendments allow companies to measure particular prepayable
financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income
if a specified condition is met, instead of at fair value through profit or loss; 
 
·      'Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2014-2016 Cycle' (2), issued December 2016 and effective for financial years
beginning on or after 1 January 2017 or 1 January 2018. The IASB has made amendments to the following standards: IFRS 12:
'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' (clarification of the scope of the standard - effective 1 January 2017), and
IAS 28: 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' (measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value - effective 1
January 2018); 
 
·      IFRIC interpretation 22: 'Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration' (2), issued December 2016 and
effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The new interpretation provides requirements on which
exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or
received in advance; and 
 
·      IFRIC interpretation 23: 'Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments' (2), issued June 2017 and effective for financial
years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The new interpretation applies to any situation in which there is uncertainty
as to whether an income tax treatment is acceptable under tax law and is not limited to actual ongoing disputes.

Updates on the implementation of IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 15: 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
and IFRS 16: 'Leases' 
 
The Group continues to assess the requirements of these Standards as it seeks to ensure that the methodology and approach
to the key impacts and challenges of the Standards result in a high quality implementation, while continuing to recognise
emerging and evolving industry practice. 
 
IFRS 9 
 
CYBG implementation strategy and approach 
 
IFRS 9 was endorsed for adoption in the EU in November 2016 and will be adopted by the Group with effect from 1 October
2018. 
 
Classification and measurement 
 
IFRS 9 changes the classification of financial assets by reducing the number of categories to just three (amortised cost,
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)). The final
classification is based on a combination of the Group's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
instruments. The option to designate a financial asset at FVTPL in IAS 39 is largely retained in IFRS 9, with IFRS 9 also
affording a further option to designate certain equity instruments at FVOCI instead of accounting for these as FVTPL. The
Group has undertaken an assessment to determine the potential impact of these changes. These are unlikely to result in
significant changes to existing measurement bases; however, the final impact will be dependent on the circumstances
prevailing on 1 October 2018. 
 
Impairment overview 
 
The Group's IFRS 9 implementation programme is progressing as planned with models built and an end-to-end parallel run
exercise to commence during the year beginning 1 October 2017. As expected, there will be a period of refinement required
where the series of complex decisions, judgements and assumptions made, particularly in relation to the Group's model
methodology, that will be reviewed, sufficiently tested and benchmarked. It is only after a period where the testing
environment has stabilised, that the results of the parallel run will provide an indication of the likely impact. 
 
The Group's approach to the new expected credit loss (ECL) methodology in IFRS 9 will leverage, as far as possible, off the
model development work that has been undertaken to support the Group's IRB accreditation application. A lifetime ECL
calculation will be required for scenarios where the credit quality of a financial asset has been identified through the
Group's staging criteria as having significantly deteriorated since original recognition. 
 
The Group's 12 month and lifetime ECL calculation will be based around a 'PD x EAD x LGD' formula: 
 
 Term  Defined as                                                                                                                                   To be IFRS 9 compliant                                                                                                                                                   
 PD    Probability of default (PD) is an estimate of the probability that a customer will default                                                   Forward-looking 12 month and lifetime PD, which needs to be capable of reflecting changes in the economic environment                                                    
 EAD   Exposure at default (EAD) is an estimate of the amount the customer will owe at the time of default                                          Forward-looking and based on contractual limits with certain exceptions for revolving products (such as credit cards) that may contain both a drawn and undrawn element  
 LGD   Loss given default (LGD) is an estimate of the loss that the Group will suffer if the customer defaults (incorporating any collateral held)  Forward-looking with no prescribed floors                                                                                                                                
 
 
Financial statements 
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 
Section 1: Basis of preparation continued 
 
There are a number of specific key elements to the IFRS 9 ECL calculation which require the Group to define and articulate
the direction it will take in meeting these - that is ensuring that the ECL calculation is forward-looking and encompasses
a probability weighted multiple scenario approach. 
 
The Group currently adopts economic scenario methodology for capital planning and credit stress testing purposes and views
the introduction of the IFRS 9 requirements as an extension to these established processes. The Group will align the
specific requirements of IFRS 9 to these to ensure a consistent approach is adopted. 
 
The exact nature and number of the economic scenarios (including the necessary economic inputs required for the scenarios),
along with their relevant probability weightings, were finalised following experienced credit judgement, discussion and
agreement with stakeholders. This will be subject to refinement as the parallel run period progresses. 
 
The adoption of IFRS 9 may result in an increase in the Group's balance sheet provisions for credit losses and may
therefore have a negative impact on the Group's regulatory capital position. 
 
Hedge accounting 
 
Macro hedge accounting is being considered in a separate IASB project. There is an option available to retain the existing
IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements until the completion of the macro hedge accounting project. The Group proposes to
continue applying the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 in accordance with this option. 
 
Regulatory capital 
 
The Group notes the pronouncements regarding transitional relief for the likely regulatory capital impact of adopting IFRS
9 from the Basel Committee and also the European Parliament and Commission and will continue to monitor the regulatory
landscape over the year ahead in the lead up to the Group's adoption of IFRS 9 for final details on the regulatory capital
treatment of the change to an ECL methodology. 
 
The Group will consider the option of spreading the effect of the change to an ECL methodology for regulatory capital
purposes should this feature in the finalised version of the rules. 
 
IFRS 15 
 
IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and endorsed for use in the EU in September 2016. It is effective for financial years
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, and it will be adopted by the Group with effect from 1 October 2018. 
 
The Standard is unlikely to have a significant impact as the majority of the Group's income is generated from financial
instruments and is therefore not in scope of the Standard. For those revenues that are in scope (typically fees and other
commissions), the Group continues to assess the related performance obligations to identify any fees or other commissions
that may require a change in recognition. The Group continues to assess the new disclosure requirements of the Standard. 
 
IFRS 16 
 
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and endorsed for use in the EU. It is effective for financial years beginning on or
after 1 January 2019. 
 
The Group continues to work on and assess the new estimates and judgements required by the Standard and their implications.
Operating leases will be brought onto the Group balance sheet with an asset recognised for the contractual 'right of use'
and a liability recognised for the contractual payments. The Group expects this work to progress throughout the 2018
reporting period.

Section 2: Results for the year continued 
 
2.2    Net interest income 
 
 Accounting policyInterest income is reflected in the income statement using the effective interest method which discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.When calculating the effective interest rate, cash flows are estimated considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (e.g. prepayment, call and similar options) excluding future credit losses. The calculation     
 includes all fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate such as transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. Where it is not possible to reliably estimate the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments), the contractual cash flows over the full contractual term of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments) are used.Loan origination and commitment fees are recognised within the        
 effective interest rate calculation. Non-utilisation of a commitment fee is recognised as revenue upon expiry of the agreed commitment period. Loan related administration and service fees are recognised as revenue over the period of service. Interest income and interest expense on hedged assets and liabilities and financial assets and liabilities designated as fair value through profit or loss are also recognised as part of net interest income. Where a trading derivative is economically hedging an interest 
 -bearing financial asset or liability designated at fair value through profit or loss, the interest income and expense attributable to the derivative is recognised within net interest income and not as part of the fair value movement of the trading derivative.
