market-leading brands such as NatWest,
Royal Bank of Scotland, Lombard and Mentor.
● Our NatWest brand has the number one NPS in England and Wales(1). This reflects the positive steps we are taking to improve customer experience; making banking with us easier, less time consuming and adding real value to every interaction. Our strategy
will continue to focus on end-to-end business performance aimed at improving customer service, trust and advocacy.
● Overall net lending volumes have reduced since H1 2016, however, we have successfully achieved growth during H1 2017 in target segments, including 6% annualised growth in the core SME and Commercial book. The transformation of our lending proposition means
62% of lending decisions can be communicated in five days, and we have further simplified the new lending process for loans less than £25,000 through the launch of digital self-serve account opening for SMEs. In addition, Lombard has been named 'Best
Leasing & Asset Finance Provider' at the Business Moneyfacts Awards for a ninth time.
● Our Bankline online digital platform, now used by 90% of our active customer base and with 400,000 payments processed daily, has been independently rated as market leading for digital customer experience, and we are now launching an upgraded version.
During the first half we launched the ClearSpend mobile app, helping corporate card customers exercise better control and oversight of spending on company accounts. We also continued the build out of Esme, our digital 24/7 online lending platform and
progressed development of a range of new modular business solutions to expand and improve our customer offering.
● We continue to provide enhanced support for UK entrepreneurs through our award-winning E-Spark partnership, supporting 1,736 companies to secure £151 million investment and created 3,152 jobs since inception, and now have nationwide coverage with 12 hubs
in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Financial performanceH1 2017 compared with H1 2016
● Operating profit of £660 million in H1 2017 compared with £612 million in H1 2016. Adjusted operating profit of £781 million was £118 million, or 17.8%, higher than H1 2016 reflecting lower adjusted operating expenses and higher income.
● Total income increased by £51 million, or 3.0%, to £1,750 million driven by increased deposit volumes and re-pricing benefits, partially offset by margin pressure. Active re-pricing of assets and deposits has been offset by wider asset margin pressure in a
lower rate environment causing net interest margin to fall by 8 basis points to 1.75%.
● Adjusted operating expenses of £875 million were £58 million, or 6.2%, lower than H1 2016, principally reflecting the impact of a 700 reduction in headcount to 5,200 and a £25 million intangible asset write-down in H1 2016.
● Net impairment losses of £94 million, 19 basis points of gross customer loans, were £9 million lower than H1 2016.
● Net loans and advances decreased by £1.1 billion to £98.1 billion, compared with H1 2016. Whilst overall net lending volumes have reduced since H1 2016, we have successfully achieved growth during H1 2017 in target segments, including 6% annualised growth
in the core SME and Commercial book.
● RWAs of £76.2 billion reduced by £1.3 billion, or 1.7%, compared with H1 2016 as planned reductions in exposures with weak returns have been offset by lending growth in some segments.
Commercial Banking
Q2 2017 compared with Q1 2017
● Operating profit of £406 million was £152 million higher than Q1 2017, principally reflecting lower restructuring costs and lower impairment losses. Adjusted operating profit of £425 million was £69 million higher than Q1 2017 reflecting lower impairment losses, lower adjusted operating expenses and higher income.
● Total income increased by £20 million, or 2.3%, to £885 million compared with Q1 2017. Net interest margin reduced by 3 basis point to 1.73% due to continuing asset margin pressure.
● Adjusted operating expenses decreased by £21 million, or 4.7%, to £427 million as headcount continued to be reduced and discretionary expenditure remained tightly controlled.
● Net impairment losses of £33 million, 13 basis points of gross customer loans, were £28 million lower than Q1 2017 with one specific impairment charge of £12 million in the quarter.
Q2 2017 compared with Q2 2016
● Adjusted operating profit of £425 million was £165 million, or 63.5%, higher than Q2 2016 due to lower adjusted expenses, lower impairment losses and higher income.
● Total income of £885 million was £39 million, or 4.6%, higher than Q2 2016 reflecting deposit volume growth and re-pricing actions.
● Adjusted operating expenses decreased by £70 million, or 14.1%, to £427 million reflecting reduced headcount and a £25 million intangible asset write-down in Q2 2016.

RBS International

deposit volumes. Adjusted operating expenses increased by £22 million, or 32.4%, as the business absorbs additional

return on equity remained robust at 13.7%.

NatWest Markets
Key points
NatWest Markets adjusted income increased by £299 million, or 43.9%, to £980 million. This reflected high levels of
customer activity and an improved Q1 2017 trading environment compared to a particularly difficult Q1 2016. Although
customer activity eased somewhat in Q2 2017, NatWest Markets continued to navigate the more challenging markets well.
Adjusted operating expenses were stable as ongoing cost reductions have been offset by the impact of investment spend that
was previously capitalised in H1 2016. RWAs of £31.7 billion were £5.0 billion lower than H1 2016 and reduced by £3.5
billion in the first half.
Serving our customers
NatWest Markets continued to focus on customers:
● Leveraging its global hubs the business has led major capital raising transactions in the UK, Europe and the US for both
corporate customers and financial institutions.
● NatWest Markets continues to simplify processes and invest in improving the customer experience. The Agile Markets platform, for
example, provides customers with both simple and complex financial markets trading, analysis and post-trade functionality.
Financial performanceH1 2017 compared with H1 2016
● Operating profit was £156 million compared with £89 million in H1 2016, driven by higher income, partially offset by increased
restructuring costs. H1 2017 adjusted operating profit was £341 million compared with £41 million in H1 2016 reflecting higher
adjusted income.
● Adjusted income increased by £299 million, or 43.9%, to £980 million. This reflected high levels of customer activity and an
improved Q1 2017 trading environment compared to a particularly difficult Q1 2016. Although customer activity eased somewhat in
Q2 2017, NatWest Markets continued to navigate the more challenging markets well. Income from Financing doubled to £187 million,
reflecting an improved performance across all areas of the business and the impact of the difficult market conditions seen in H1
2016. Total income, which includes own credit adjustments, increased by £114 million to £932 million in H1 2017.
● Adjusted operating expenses were stable at £638 million as the impact of investment spend previously capitalised in H1 2016 was
offset by ongoing cost reductions. The majority of NatWest Markets Functions and Services staff have now been aligned directly
to NatWest Markets, with employee numbers now reported within NatWest Markets and the associated costs through direct expenses.
● Funded assets decreased by £8.6 billion, or 6.8%, to £117.0 billion. H1 2016 included a spike in funded assets due to heightened
customer activity and the impact of the rapid depreciation in sterling following the EU referendum.
● RWAs decreased by £5.0 billion to £31.7 billion compared with H1 2016. The reduction primarily reflects lower levels of
counterparty and market risk, due to both a spike immediately after the EU referendum in H1 2016 as well as further counterparty
and market risk reductions, through mitigation activities and business initiatives, since H1 2016.
Q2 2017 compared with Q1 2017
● Operating profit was £88 million compared with £68 million in Q1 2017, with the increase reflecting lower expenses partially
offset by lower income. Adjusted operating profit was £154 million compared with £187 million in Q1 2017.
● Total income decreased by £44 million to £444 million. Adjusted income reduced by £36 million to £472 million as customer
activity eased following a particularly strong Q1 2017.
● Total expenses decreased by £65 million to £355 million, reflecting lower restructuring costs and lower litigation and conduct
costs.
● RWAs reduced by £2.4 billion to £31.7 billion due to a lower level of counterparty and market risk during Q2 2017 compared with
Q1 2017.
Q2 2017 compared with Q2 2016
● Operating profit was £88 million compared with £109 million in Q2 2016 principally reflecting lower income. Adjusted operating profit was £154 million compared with £95 million in Q2 2016, driven by higher adjusted income, partially offset by higher adjusted expenses.
● Total income decreased by £33 million to £444 million. Adjusted income improved by £68 million, or 16.8%, to £472 million primarily reflecting improvements in Financing and Rates, with income up £50 million and £23 million respectively.
● Adjusted operating expenses increased by £8 million, or 2.6%, reflecting the impact of investment spend previously capitalised in Q2 2016.
