There has been further significant improvement in returns.

Significant improvement in profitability driven by higher quality income growth with cost and asset origination discipline; Operating income of $15.0bn was up 5%, with RWAs down 8%; Broad-based by product, with Transaction Banking growing particularly strongly driven by Cash Management; Wealth Management grew 3% but momentum slowed as sentiment weakened in the second half; Strong performance in GCNA region; challenging conditions in AME region; and Net interest income increased 8% and the net interest margin improved 3 basis points to 1.58%

The Group has delivered $3.2bn in gross cost efficiencies, exceeding the target set in November 2015; Cash investments of $1.6bn were up 9%, with the amount allocated to strategic initiatives trebling over the last

three years. The UK bank levy was $324m; in 2021 it will be chargeable on only the Group’s UK balance sheet; and Asset quality improved due to a continued focus on higher quality origination within a more granular risk appetite. Credit impairment of $740m was 38% lower with significant improvements in CIB and RB;Underlying profit before tax of $3.9bn was up 28% driven by the Group’s largest segments and regions;

Statutory profit before tax of $2.5bn is stated after provision for regulatory matters and restructuring and other items and was 6% higher. The Group made a $900m provision in respect of legacy financial crime control matters and FX trading issues; Restructuring and other items included Q4 charges of $158m following the announcement to sell Principal; Finance and $169m related to the refreshed strategic priorities announced. RoE improved 110 basis points to 4.6% and RoTE improved 120 basis points to 5.1%; Basic earnings per share increased 14.2 cents to 61.4 cents.

The Board has recommended a final dividend of 15 cents per ordinary share, up 36% from 11 cents in 2017

Stronger capital and more resilient balance sheet

The CET1 ratio increased 60 basis points to 14.2%; above the Group’s updated target range of 13-14%;

Broad-based balance sheet growth: average customer assets and customer accounts were up 7% and 5% respectively;  and Stronger balance sheet positions the Group for sustainable long-term growth while increasing resilience to shocks.

Outlook

Refreshed priorities announced separately today aimed at delivering significantly and sustainably higher returns; Return on tangible equity targeted to be at least 10% by 2021; We intend to distribute to shareholders surplus capital that is not deployed to fund additional growth

Income compound annual growth rate target remains at 5-7%;

Solid start to 2019, although down slightly compared to 2018 due to stronger USD and buoyant conditions last year in WM and FM
