REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

Income statement

In the nine months to 30 September 2022, the Group recorded a profit before
tax of £4,480 million compared to £5,103 million in the same period in
2021, representing a reduction of £623 million as higher total income was
more than offset by the impact of a net impairment charge for the period
compared to a net credit for the first nine months of 2021. Profit after tax
was £3,346 million.

Total income increased by £1,047 million, or 9 per cent, to £12,119 million
in the nine months to 30 September 2022 compared to £11,072 million in the
first nine months of 2021; there was an increase of £1,209 million in net
interest income and a decrease of £162 million in other income.

Net interest income was £9,458 million, an increase of £1,209 million
compared to £8,249 million in the nine months to 30 September 2021. The
increase in net interest income was driven by an improved margin, as a result
of UK Bank Rate increases and continued funding and capital optimisation,
partly offset by mortgage margin reductions. Increased average
interest-earning assets reflecting continued growth in the open mortgage book
also contributed positively.

Other income was £162 million lower at £2,661 million in the nine months to
30 September 2022 compared to £2,823 million in the same period last year.
Net fee and commission income increased by £58 million to £971 million,
compared to £913 million in the first nine months of 2021, due to higher
credit and debit card fees, reflecting increased levels of customer activity,
more than offsetting some reduction from lower levels of corporate financing
activity. Net trading income was £305 million lower at £88 million in the
nine months to 30 September 2022, in part reflecting the change in fair value
of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts not mitigated by
hedge accounting. Other operating income increased by £85 million to
£1,602 million compared to £1,517 million in the nine months to
30 September 2021, in part due to improved gains on disposal of financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Total operating expenses decreased by £131 million to £6,629 million
compared to £6,760 million in the first nine months of 2021. Increased staff
costs reflected salary increases and the impact of a one-off £1,000 cost of
living payment to staff, partly offset by headcount reductions. In addition,
there was an increase in IT-related costs, as a result of the Group's
strategic investment programmes. Depreciation charges were lower reflecting
the continued strength in used car prices. The charge in respect of regulatory
provisions was £346 million lower at £67 million and largely related to
pre-existing programmes. There have been no further charges relating to HBOS
Reading since the end of 2021 and the provision held continues to reflect the
Group's best estimate of its full liability, albeit significant uncertainties
remain.

There was a net impairment charge in the nine months to 30 September 2022 of
£1,010 million, compared to a net credit of £791 million in the first nine
months of 2021, largely reflecting a low charge arising from observed credit
performance and a charge in the first nine months of 2022 as a result of
updates to the assessment of the economic outlook and associated scenarios,
compared to a significant credit in the first nine months of 2021. The updated
outlook includes elevated risks from a higher inflation and interest rate
environment, offset by a £400 million release of the COVID-19 central
adjustment in the nine months to 30 September 2022.

The Group's loan portfolio continues to be well-positioned, reflecting a
prudent through-the-cycle approach to lending with high levels of security,
also reflected in strong recovery performance. Observed credit performance
remains stable, with very modest evidence of deterioration and the flow of
assets into arrears, defaults and write-offs at low levels and below
pre-pandemic levels. Stage 3 loans and advances have been stable across the
third quarter. Credit card minimum payers and overdraft and revolving credit
facility (RCF) utilisation rates have remained low and in line with recent
trends.

The Group's expected credit loss (ECL) allowance increased in the first nine
months of the year to £4,519 million (31 December 2021: £4,000 million).
This reflects the balance of risks shifting from COVID-19 to increased
inflationary pressures and rising interest rates within the Group's base case
and wider economic scenarios. The deterioration in the economic outlook is now
reflected in variables which credit models better capture. As a result, the
Group's reliance on judgemental overlays for modelling risks in relation to
inflationary pressures has reduced, with these risks now captured more fully
in models.

The Group recognised a tax expense of £1,134 million in the period compared
to £141 million in the first nine months of 2021. During the first nine
months of 2021 the Group had recognised a deferred tax credit in the income
statement of £1,189 million following substantive enactment, in May 2021, of
the UK Government's increase in the rate of corporation tax from 19 per cent
to 25 per cent with effect from 1 April 2023.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE (continued)

Balance sheet

Total assets were £24,590 million, or 4 per cent, higher at £627,439 million
at 30 September 2022 compared to £602,849 million at 31 December 2021. Cash
and balances at central banks rose by £13,223 million to £67,502 million
reflecting the placement of funds from increased available liquidity.
Financial assets at amortised cost were £14,947 million higher at £505,263
million at 30 September 2022 compared to £490,316 million at 31 December
2021, as a result of a £2,456 million increase in loans and advances to
banks, £4,434 million increase in loans and advances to customers, net of
impairment allowances, £2,780 million in debt securities, and £5,163
million in reverse repurchase agreement balances. The increase in loans and
advances to customers, net of impairment allowances, was driven by continued
growth in the open mortgage book and increases in Corporate and Institutional
lending due to attractive growth opportunities as well as foreign exchange
movements, partially offset by further reductions in the closed mortgage book
and hedging impacts. Other assets increased by £3,772 million mainly due to
a £2,272 million increase in deferred tax assets and a £470 million
increase in current tax recoverable. Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income were £6,787 million lower at £20,999 million as
a result of asset sales during the period.

Total liabilities were £28,395 million, or 5 per cent, higher at £590,472
million compared to £562,077 million at 31 December 2021. Customer deposits
increased by £5,771 million to £455,144 million compared to £449,373
million at 31 December 2021, as a result of continued inflows to Retail
current and savings accounts and Commercial Banking balances. Repurchase
agreements at amortised cost increased £16,255 million to £46,361 million,
as the Group took advantage of favourable funding opportunities and amounts
due to fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings were £3,654 million higher at
£5,144 million, also reflecting funding arrangements. Subordinated
liabilities decreased by £2,675 million following redemptions during the
period.

Ordinary shareholders' equity decreased £3,794 million to £32,616 million at
30 September 2022 as retained profit for the period was more than offset by
negative movements in the cash flow hedging reserve as a result of increased
interest rates and adverse defined benefit post-retirement scheme
remeasurements.

Capital

The Group's common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio reduced from 16.7 per
cent at 31 December 2021 to 14.1 per cent on 1 January 2022, before increasing
during the period to 15.0 per cent at 30 September 2022. The reduction on
1 January 2022 reflected the impact of regulatory changes (as previously
reported), with the subsequent increase during the first nine months of the
year reflecting profits for the period and a reduction in risk-weighted assets
(post 1 January 2022 regulatory changes) partly offset by pension
contributions made to the Group's defined benefit pension schemes and an
accrual for foreseeable ordinary dividends. The total capital ratio reduced
from 23.5 per cent at 31 December 2021 to 20.4 per cent at 30 September
2022, reflecting the reduction in CET capital, increase in risk-weighted
assets, the completion of the transition to end-point eligibility rules for
regulatory capital on 1 January 2022 and movements in rates, partially offset
by sterling depreciation and eligible provisions.

Risk-weighted assets increased from £161.6 billion at 31 December 2021 to
around £178 billion on 1 January 2022, reflecting regulatory changes which
include the anticipated impact of the implementation of new CRD IV models to
meet revised regulatory standards for modelled outputs. Risk-weighted assets
subsequently reduced by £5 billion during the first nine months of the year
to £173.2 billion at 30 September 2022, largely reflecting optimisation
activity and Retail model reductions linked to the resilient underlying credit
performance, partly offset by the growth in balance sheet lending. The new CRD
IV models remain subject to finalisation and approval by the PRA and therefore
the final risk-weighted asset impact remains subject to this.

The Group's UK leverage ratio of 5.2 per cent at 30 September 2022 has reduced
from 5.3 per cent at 31 December 2021, reflecting a reduction in total tier 1
capital, offset in part by a reduction in the exposure measure principally
related to off-balance sheet items.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.   Basis of presentation

This release covers the results of Lloyds Bank plc (the Bank) together with
its subsidiaries (the Group) for the nine months ended 30 September 2022.

Changes in accounting policy

Except for the matter referred to below, the Group's accounting policies are
consistent with those applied by the Group in its financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2021 and there have been no changes in the Group's
methods of computation.

In April 2022, the IFRS Interpretations Committee was asked to consider
whether an entity includes a demand deposit as a component of cash and cash
equivalents in the statement of cash flows when the demand deposit is subject
to contractual restrictions on use agreed with a third party. It concluded
that such amounts should be included within cash and cash equivalents.
Accordingly, the Group includes mandatory reserve deposits with central banks
that are held in demand accounts within cash and cash equivalents disclosed in
the cash flow statement. This change has increased the Group's cash and cash
equivalents at 1 January 2020 by £1,682 million (to £40,296 million) and
decreased the adjustment for the change in operating assets in 2020 by £974
million (to a reduction of £5,882 million) resulting in an increase in the
Group's cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2020 of £2,656 million (to
£51,622 million); and decreased the adjustment for the change in operating
assets in 2021 by £114 million (to an increase of £5,174 million) and, as a
result, the Group's cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2021 increased by
£2,770 million (to £55,960 million). The change had no impact on profit
after tax or total equity.

2.   Capital

The Group's Q3 2022 Interim Pillar 3 Report can be found at
www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/investors/financial-downloads.

3.   Base case and MES economic assumptions

The Group's base case economic scenario reflects the outlook as of 30
September 2022 and was revised in light of developments in energy pricing,
changes in UK fiscal policy prior to the balance sheet date and a continuing
shift towards a more restrictive monetary policy stance by central banks. The
Group's updated base case scenario was based upon three conditioning
assumptions: first, the war in Ukraine remains 'local', without overtly
involving neighbouring countries, NATO or China; second, the fiscal loosening
implied by the UK Government's 'Growth Plan' of 23 September 2022 would be
offset principally by Government spending cuts; and third, central bank
reaction functions, including of the Bank of England, are focused on
controlling inflation, motivating a more rapid tightening of UK monetary
policy. The Group continues to assume that no further UK COVID-19 national
lockdowns are mandated. Based on these assumptions and incorporating the
macroeconomic information published in the third quarter, the Group's base
case scenario comprises an economic downturn with a rise in the unemployment
rate, declining residential and commercial property prices, and continuing
increases in the UK Bank Rate against a backdrop of elevated inflationary
pressures. Risks to the base case economic view exist in both directions and
are partly captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios. Each
of the scenarios includes forecasts for key variables as of the third quarter
of 2022, for which data or revisions to history may have since emerged prior
to publication.

At 30 September 2022, the Group has included an adjusted severe downside
scenario to incorporate high CPI inflation and UK Bank Rate profiles and has
adopted this adjusted severe downside scenario in calculating its ECL
allowance. This is because the historic macroeconomic and loan loss data upon
which the scenario model is calibrated imply an association of downside
economic outcomes with lower inflation rates, easier monetary policy, and
therefore low interest rates. This adjustment is considered to better reflect
the risks around the Group's base case view in a macroeconomic environment in
which supply shocks are the principal concern.

UK economic assumptions - Scenarios by year

Key annual assumptions made by the Group are shown below. Gross domestic

4.   ECL sensitivity to economic assumptions

The measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased probability-weighted range of
possible future economic outcomes. The Group achieves this by generating four
economic scenarios to reflect the range of outcomes; the central scenario
reflects the Group's base case assumptions used for medium-term planning
purposes, an upside and a downside scenario are also selected together with a
severe downside scenario. If the base case moves adversely it generates a new,
more adverse downside and severe downside which are then incorporated into the
ECL. The base case, upside and downside scenarios carry a 30 per cent
weighting; the severe downside is weighted at 10 per cent. These assumptions
can be found on pages 5 to 7.

The table below shows the Group's ECL for the probability-weighted, upside,
base case, downside and severe downside scenarios, the severe downside
scenario incorporating adjustments made to CPI inflation and UK Bank Rate
paths. The stage allocation for an asset is based on the overall scenario
probability-weighted PD and hence the staging of assets is constant across all
the scenarios. In each economic scenario the ECL for individual assessments
and post-model adjustments is constant reflecting the basis on which they are
evaluated.

and undrawn).

Commercial Cards moving from Retail to Commercial Banking and Wealth moving
from Other to Retail.

forward looking statements. Words such as, without limitation, 'believes',
'achieves', 'anticipates', 'estimates', 'expects', 'targets', 'should',
'intends', 'aims', 'projects', 'plans', 'potential', 'will', 'would', 'could',
'considered', 'likely', 'may', 'seek', 'estimate', 'probability', 'goal',
'objective', 'deliver', 'endeavour', 'prospects', 'optimistic' and similar

objectives or goals of the Group or its management and other statements that
are not historical fact; expectations about the impact of COVID-19; and
statements of assumptions underlying such statements. By their nature, forward
looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events
and depend upon circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Factors
that could cause actual business, strategy, plans and/or results (including
but not limited to the payment of dividends) to differ materially from forward
looking statements include, but are not limited to: general economic and
business conditions in the UK and internationally; market related risks,
trends and developments; risks concerning borrower and counterparty credit
quality; fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, stock
markets and currencies; volatility in credit markets; volatility in the price
of the Group's securities; changes in consumer behaviour; any impact of the
transition from IBORs to alternative reference rates; the ability to access
sufficient sources of capital, liquidity and funding when required; changes to
the Group's or Lloyds Banking Group plc's credit ratings; the ability to
derive cost savings and other benefits including, but without limitation, as a
result of any acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions;
inability to capture accurately the expected value from acquisitions;
potential changes in dividend policy; the ability to achieve strategic
objectives; insurance risks; management and monitoring of conduct risk;
exposure to counterparty risk; credit rating risk; tightening of monetary
policy in jurisdictions in which the Group operates; instability in the global
financial markets, including within the Eurozone, and as a result of ongoing
uncertainty following the exit by the UK from the European Union (EU) and the
effects of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement; political instability
including as a result of any UK general election and any further possible
referendum on Scottish independence; operational risks; conduct risk;
technological changes and risks to the security of IT and operational
infrastructure, systems, data and information resulting from increased threat
of cyber and other attacks; natural pandemic (including but not limited to the
COVID-19 pandemic) and other disasters; inadequate or failed internal or
external processes or systems; acts of hostility or terrorism and responses to
those acts, or other such events; geopolitical unpredictability; the war
between Russia and Ukraine; the tensions between China and Taiwan; risks
relating to sustainability and climate change (and achieving climate change
ambitions), including the Group's and/or Lloyds Banking Group plc's ability
along with the government and other stakeholders to measure, manage and
mitigate the impacts of climate change effectively; changes in laws,
regulations, practices and accounting standards or taxation; changes to
regulatory capital or liquidity requirements and similar contingencies;
assessment related to resolution planning requirements; the policies and
actions of governmental or regulatory authorities or courts together with any
resulting impact on the future structure of the Group; failure to comply with
anti-money laundering, counter terrorist financing, anti-bribery and sanctions
regulations; failure to prevent or detect any illegal or improper activities;
projected employee numbers and key person risk; increased labour costs;
assumptions and estimates that form the basis of the Group's financial
statements; the impact of competitive conditions; and exposure to legal,
regulatory or competition proceedings, investigations or complaints. A number
of these influences and factors are beyond the Group's control. Please refer
to the latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed by Lloyds Bank plc with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), which is available on the SEC's
website at www.sec.gov, for a discussion of certain factors and risks. Lloyds

forward-looking statements in other written materials and in oral statements

third parties, including financial analysts. Except as required by any
applicable law or regulation, the forward-looking statements contained in this
document are made as of today's date, and the Group expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward looking statements contained in this document whether as a result of
