-- In line with our previous guidance, management profit before tax decreased compared to H2 2014 primarily due to lower average loan balances and the recognition of the full year Financial Services Compensation Scheme levy charge of GBP14.8 million in H1 2015. Statutory profit before tax was further reduced by Sabadell transaction related costs.

Acquisition by Banco de Sabadell (Sabadell) and Board changes

-- The offer to acquire the entire business of TSB by Sabadell for 340p per share in cash, which was previously recommended by the Board to TSB's shareholders, completed on 30 June 2015. On 30 June 2015, Sabadell submitted an application to delist TSB's shares from the Official List of the London Stock Exchange. This is expected to be effective from 28 July 2015. On 9 July 2015, Sabadell issued notices to various TSB shareholders that have not yet accepted the offer to compulsorily acquire the remaining TSB shares that it does not already own.

-- On 30 June 2015, Miguel Montes and Tomás Varela were appointed to the Board as Non-executive Directors. Mr Montes is General Manager and Chief Operations and Corporate Development Officer of Sabadell. Mr Varela is General Manager and Chief Financial Officer of Sabadell. On the same date, Philip Augar, Norval Bryson and Mark Fisher resigned from the Board.

"TSB continues to go from strength to strength. Customers are really starting to see TSB as a destination for their mortgages, making us one of the fastest growing mortgage providers in the UK. On top of this, customers continue to vote with their feet and, for the sixth successive quarter, we exceeded our target of winning more than 6% of all customers opening or switching bank accounts in the UK.

The completion of the Sabadell Group's acquisition of TSB at a premium of over 30% to our IPO share price is recognition of the excellent progress and great potential of the Bank. We remain unwavering in our mission of bringing more competition to UK banking and, with the extra firepower of Sabadell behind us, we look forward to accelerating our growth plans and continuing to take on the big banks that have had a stranglehold on the UK market for far too long."

Paul Pester

Chief Executive Officer

   TSB's results are presented on a management basis which for the

         and share scheme liabilities; 
 
 
    *    Costs arising from the Sabadell offer to acquire the 
         shares of TSB, and 
 
 
    *    A tax related payment arising in respect of the 
         transfer of the Mortgage Enhancement portfolio to 
         TSB. 
 
 
 
   Reporting segments 
   TSB is a provider of retail banking services in Britain and is

    *    Franchise, TSB's multi-channel retail banking 
         business; and 
 
 
    *    Mortgage Enhancement, a mortgage loan portfolio that 
         was assigned to TSB by Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) 
         with effect from 28 February 2014 in response to a 
         review by the Office of Fair Trading of the effect on 
         competition of the divestment of TSB. This is

Strategic update

TSB has continued to deliver financial results in line with our expectations while our balance sheet reflects a Bank that is well prepared for, and has begun to deliver, lending growth. We have also seen the completion of Sabadell's acquisition of TSB at a 30.8% premium to our IPO share price, further recognition of the excellent progress and great potential of our Bank.

   1.    Provide great banking to more people 

Grow market share of bank accounts by consistently taking a greater than 6% share of gross flow over a five year period.

-- In the most recent quarter, and in an increasingly competitive environment, TSB delivered a 6.7% share of flow of all new and switching bank accounts, the 6(th) consecutive quarter where we exceeded our 6% target.

   2.    Help more people borrow well 

Grow Franchise customer lending by 40% to 50% over a five year period from IPO.

-- As expected, and driven by the launch of the new intermediary channel in January 2015, Franchise lending balances grew by GBP266.3 million in the first half.

-- This strong early progress has seen GBP1,853 million of mortgage loans applications received by the intermediary channel in the first half. TSB was named mortgage lender of the quarter by Mortgage Strategy Magazine in both the first and second quarters of 2015. We launched a range of products through this channel to include house purchase, remortgaging and buy-to-let mortgages, all provided through 7,114 brokers.

-- During the first half of 2015 we continued to launch innovative products that meet the needs of our customers. 'Fix and Flex' allows customers to fix their interest rate for 10 years with added flexibility to switch to a new product after five years. This product won the 'Innovation in Personal Finance' award at the Moneyfacts 2015. We also launched 'Breathing Space', which allows customers to make lower payments in the first year of their mortgage.

-- Unsecured lending remained relatively flat in a congested and competitive environment in a period which saw TSB introduce a highly competitive 3.9% rate on personal loans.

   3.    Provide the kind of banking experience people want and deserve 

Deploy TSB's strong digital capability. Build greater consideration of the TSB brand. Deliver a differentiated customer experience through our Partners.

-- We have continued to invest in our digital proposition through the first half of 2015, launching our new mobile banking app which makes it simpler for our customers to bank with us wherever they may be.

-- We extended the opening hours for almost 600 of our branches in the first half of 2015 including extending Saturday opening hours in over 150 locations. We also reviewed 15 locations across the UK where we have two or more branches within approximately 500 metres of each other and made arrangements to absorb 17 lesser used branches into the 15 more convenient branches.

-- We are currently rolling out training to all 6,400 customer-facing TSB Partners to further improve their skills and techniques to deliver an even more exceptional customer experience. Separately, we have removed sales targets from TSB's branches, releasing our branch-based Partners to focus solely on meeting the needs of our customers, and providing them with an even greater banking experience.

-- Evidence of our progress is reflected in our Bank net promoter score, which improved for five consecutive quarters to Q1 2015. While Q2 2015 saw a 1 point reduction, this reflected an initial decline after the announced offer for TSB, partially offset by an increase from June.

Business review

Review of the balance sheet

Customer loans and advances

Loans and advances remained broadly stable, increasing by GBP18.4 million in the first half of 2015 to GBP21,659.8 million. This reflects an increase in Franchise loans balances, which increased by 1.4%, or GBP266.3 million, partially offset by the ongoing, and expected, repayment of the Mortgage Enhancement portfolio. Franchise loans balances decreased by GBP130.7 million in Q1; however this was more than offset by a GBP397.0 million increase during Q2. This reflected the success of the new intermediary channel since its launch in January 2015 enabling TSB to deliver positive quarterly lending growth for the first time since its launch on the high street in September 2013.

Impairment on loans and advances

Impaired loans as a % of loans and advances to customers decreased to 0.8% (31 December 2014: 0.9%). The absolute value of impaired loans decreased by 12.3% driven by continued favourable economic conditions and improvements in a small number of high value mortgage cases. Provisions as a percentage of impaired loans remained at 42.0%.

Funding and liquidity

TSB continued to attract new customers and retain existing deposit balances which led to an increase in deposit balances of 1.3%, or GBP312.6 million, during the first half to GBP24,937.5 million. The Franchise loan to deposit ratio at 30 June 2015 was 76.6% (31 December 2014: 76.5%). Subsequent to the half year, Moody's announced investment grade long term debt ratings for TSB, further recognition of TSB's financial strength.

Capital management

The capital position of TSB remains strong with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital ratio of 19.5% (December 2014: 23.0%) and a leverage ratio of 5.3% (31 December 2014: 5.8%) providing the support to deliver our lending growth targets. The decrease in CET1 was wholly expected as a consequence of the migration of the overdraft and card portfolios to an internal ratings based method. The reduction in the leverage ratio was due to the expected growth in exposures which includes the increase in the mortgage pipeline exposures.

Review of financial performance

Profit before tax on a management basis for the six months to 30 June 2015 decreased by 20.1% to GBP44.0 million compared to H2 2014. This decrease was expected and primarily reflected lower income, partially offset by a continuing improvement in impairment losses.

Income decreased by 3.9%, or GBP18.2 million, to GBP446.0 million compared to H2 2014 with reductions in both net interest income and other income. Net interest income of GBP385.2 million fell by 2.8% primarily due to lower average lending balances. Consistent with earlier guidance, the Franchise banking net interest margin increased by 6bps, primarily due to lower deposit funding costs. Other income decreased by 10.2% to GBP60.8 million, reflecting the previously guided effect of market reforms to interchange fee income and lower income from Added Value current accounts which remain available only through the digital channel.

Operating expenses remained stable at GBP362.5 million compared to H2 2014. Excluding the GBP14.8 million full year FSCS levy charge recognised in Q2 2015, operating expenses decreased by 4.1% compared to H2 2014. This decrease was mainly due to the high level of marketing and investment spend in Q4 2014 together with the ongoing focus on managing costs in the current low interest rate environment.

The impairment charge decreased by 15.1% compared to H2 2014, reflecting the benefit from a provision release in the first quarter, a higher provision charge in the second half of last year from an extension to the loss emergence period and the continued effect of the favourable UK economic environment.

The taxation charge in H1 2015 of GBP3.5 million represented an effective tax rate of 15.1% (H2 2014: 21.6%, H1 2014: 20.8%). This is lower than the average UK corporation tax rate of 20.25% primarily due to the recognition of a deferred tax credit of GBP6.8 million relating to temporary differences arising from the transfer of the Mortgage Enhancement portfolio (see page 18) partially offset by certain non deductible costs.

Summary and outlook

TSB's performance in the first half of the year is consistent with previously guided expectations. We continue to expect that the effects of sustained low interest rates, high levels of competition and mortgage growth will offset the margin expansion experienced in the first half and result in the Franchise margin being broadly flat in 2015 compared to 2014. The 2015 exit rate for margin is expected to be notably lower than the average for the year.

We continue to expect other income to come under modest pressure given the early implementation of reduced interchange fees and lower Added Value fees contributing to a circa GBP15 million reduction in Franchise other income in 2015 compared to 2014. During 2015, cost management will partially mitigate the effects of these headwinds. We continue to target expenditure of no more than GBP720 million in 2015 whilst continuing to deliver our growth strategy including increasing Franchise lending from 2014 levels by over GBP1.5 billion in 2015, and consistently taking more than a 6% share of all new and switching bank accounts each quarter.

Summary of principal risks and uncertainties

TSB monitors a number of risks to its business and takes action to mitigate their impact on TSB's strategic and financial performance. The principal risks and uncertainties faced by TSB are consistent with those detailed in the Risk report on pages 85-98 of TSB's 2014 Annual Report and Accounts and are summarised in the table below.

In addition to those risks and uncertainties, TSB faces headwinds in the form of increased competition among lenders and the increased expectation of a longer low base rate environment which pose challenges to TSB's profit growth. Further challenges faced by TSB include the potential uncertainty arising from political and regulatory uncertainties, both in the UK and globally.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (unaudited)

   1.      Accounting policies, presentation and estimates 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2015 of TSB Banking Group plc (TSB) have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with TSB's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The Directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In reaching this assessment, the Directors have considered projections for TSB's capital and funding position.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied by TSB in its 2014 Annual Report and Accounts. From 1 January 2015, TSB designated, for the first time, certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The effect during the six months to 30 June 2015 was the recognition of GBP1.0 million, after tax, of net losses on the relevant designated interest rate swaps in the cash flow hedge reserve in shareholders' equity.

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that impact the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may include amounts which differ from those estimates. Estimates, judgements and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no significant changes in the basis upon which estimates have been determined, compared to that applied at 31 December 2014.

   2.      Segmental analysis 

TSB's segmental results are presented in a manner which is consistent with internal reporting provided to the Executive Committee which is considered to be TSB's chief operating decision maker. The segmental results are presented on a management basis, which excludes certain volatile and non-recurring items and is the basis used to prepare financial information reviewed by the Executive Committee. TSB's reportable segments have been identified as 'Franchise' and 'Mortgage Enhancement' reflecting its organisational and management structures. The Franchise segment comprises the retail banking business which offers a broad range of retail financial services including current accounts, savings products, personal loans, credit cards and mortgages. The Mortgage Enhancement segment comprises a separate portfolio of mortgage assets which was assigned to TSB by Lloyds Banking Group with effect from 28 February 2014.

   3.      Fair values of financial assets and liabilities 

The analysis below summarises the carrying values of financial assets and liabilities presented on TSB's balance sheet. The fair values presented in the table are at a specific date and may be significantly different from the amounts which will actually be paid or received on the maturity or settlement date.

 
                                                                          31 December

The carrying amount of the following financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of fair value: cash and balances at central banks; items in the course of collection from banks; loans and advances to banks; deposits from banks; and items in the course of transmission to banks. The carrying amount of repurchase agreements included in other liabilities, (GBP362.5 million at 30 June 2015) is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Fair value is 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. Where quoted market prices are not available for certain of TSB's financial instruments, fair values have been determined using valuation techniques which, to the extent possible, use market observable inputs, but in some cases use non-market observable inputs. Valuation techniques used include discounted cash flow analysis and pricing models and, where appropriate, comparison to instruments with characteristics similar to those of the instruments held by TSB.

Financial instruments carried at fair value

Derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value. These instruments have been classified into three levels according to the quality and reliability of information used to determine the fair values.

Level 1 portfolios - Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 portfolios - Level 2 valuations are those where quoted market prices are not available, for example where the instrument is traded in a market that is not considered to be active or valuation techniques are used to determine fair value and where these techniques use inputs that are based significantly on observable market data. TSB's derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps and are valued using a discounted cash flow model where the most significant input is interest yield curves which are developed from publicly quoted rates.

Level 3 portfolios - Level 3 portfolios are those where at least one input which could have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation is not based on observable market data.

Independent review report to TSB Banking Group plc

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, defined below, in the Interim Results 2015 of TSB Banking Group plc for the six months ended 30 June 2015. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

This conclusion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder of this report.

What we have reviewed

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which are prepared by TSB Banking Group plc comprise:

   --   the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2015; 
   --   the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended; 
   --   the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; 
   --   the consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended; and 
   --   the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. 

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in the Interim Results 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

What a review of condensed consolidated financial statements involves

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the Interim Reults 2015 and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Responsibilities for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the Directors

The Interim Results 2015, including the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Results 2015 in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Independent review report to TSB Banking Group plc (continued)

Our responsibility is to express to TSB Banking Group plc a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the Interim Results 2015 based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Mortgage Enhancement tax related payment

During the six months to 30 June 2015 TSB recognised a deferred tax asset of GBP6.8 million in relation to temporary differences that arose following HMRC's determination of the tax transfer value of the Mortgage Enhancement portfolio. Under the Tax Separation Deed between TSB and LBG, which exists to protect the parties against any unanticipated taxes arising after TSB's listing, this amount is payable to LBG and is recognised in operating expenses. As these amounts are not reflective of TSB's underlying business performance they have been excluded from the management basis of reporting.
