2025 Full Year Results

9% core EPS growth; strong strategic progress; £1.2bn share buyback

António Simões, CEO:

"Today we're reporting a strong financial performance for 2025, and meaningful
progress in reshaping L&G. We have addressed legacy complexities,
strengthened our foundations and we are driving forward our growth strategy
across our core businesses. This week we will begin a £1.2bn share buyback -
the largest in our history - which, together with guided dividend per share
growth of 2% this year, will bring planned returns to shareholders to £2.4bn
over the next year.

As a sharper, more focused business, we are well-positioned to capitalise on
the structural, growing demand for long-term investments and retirement
income. We continue to extend our market leadership in defined benefit pension
risk transfer, while in Retail we are capturing the defined contribution
opportunity, supported by technology, customer service and operating leverage.
Our Asset Management business is at an inflection point, with our
repositioning efforts and its strong synergies with our other businesses
driving improving financial performance, including an increase in ANNR and a
growing average fee margin.

We are on track to achieve the financial targets set out in our strategy; our
priority now is to accelerate this momentum, maintaining discipline and
delivering enhanced shareholder returns."
