1 Independent review report to Legal & General Group Plc Page 33

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Legal & General Group Plc ('the company') to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2022 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (pages 46 to 51) and the related explanatory notes to the interim financial statements (pages 35 to 45 and 52 to 72).

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2022 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity ("ISRE (UK) 2410") issued for use in the UK. 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. We read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the group will continue in operation.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in note 4.01, the latest annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK. In preparing the condensed set of financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.

1. From 1 January 2022, following changes to business unit responsibilities within the Executive Committee, the group's reportable segments have been updated to align with its five core businesses. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change in segmentation. Further details are provided in Note 2.08.
2. Insurance operating profit includes £46m (H1 21: £38m; FY 21: £(52)m) from US Insurance.
3. Group debt costs exclude interest on non-recourse financing.
4. All earnings per share calculations are based on profit attributable to equity holders of the company.

This supplementary operating profit information (one of the group's key performance indicators) provides additional analysis of the results reported under IFRS, and the group believes it provides stakeholders with useful information to enhance their understanding of the performance of the business in the period.

Operating profit measures the pre-tax result excluding the impact of investment volatility, economic assumption changes caused by changes in market conditions or expectations and exceptional items. It therefore reflects longer-term economic assumptions for the group's LGRI and Retail businesses and shareholder funds, including the traded portfolio in LGC. For the group's direct investments, operating profit reflects the expected long-term economic return for those assets which are developed with the intention of sale, or the IFRS profit before tax for the early stage and mature businesses. Variances between actual and long-term expected investment return on traded and real assets (including direct investments) are excluded from operating profit, as well as economic assumption changes caused by changes in market conditions or expectations (e.g. credit default and inflation) and any difference between the actual allocated asset mix and the target long-term asset mix on new pension risk transfer business. Operating profit also excludes the yield associated with assets held for future new pension risk transfer business from the valuation discount rate on insurance contract liabilities. Exceptional income and expenses which arise outside the normal course of business in the year, such as merger and acquisition and start-up costs, are also excluded from operating profit.

The group reports its results across the following business segments:

· LGRI represents worldwide pension risk transfer business including longevity insurance.

· LGC represents shareholder assets invested in direct investments primarily in the areas of specialist commercial real estate, clean energy, housing and SME finance, as well as traded and treasury assets.

· LGIM represents institutional and retail investment management.

· Insurance primarily represents UK protection (both group and retail) and Fintech business (UK Insurance and other), as well as US retail protection business (US Insurance).

· Retail Retirement primarily represents retail annuity and drawdown products, workplace savings and lifetime mortgage loans.

1. Release from operations within Insurance includes £85m of dividends from US Insurance.
2. Other includes experience variances, changes in valuation assumptions (includes changes to assets allocation) and non-cash items relating to US Insurance.
3. From 1 January 2022, following changes to business unit responsibilities within the Executive Committee, the group's reportable segments have been updated to align with its five core businesses. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change in segmentation. Further details are provided in Note 2.08.

Release from operations for LGRI and the UK protection business within Retail represents the expected IFRS surplus generated in the period from the difference between the prudent assumptions underlying the IFRS liabilities and our best estimate of future experience. For workplace savings within Retail Retirement, the release from operations represents the expected annual management charges generated from the in-force business less expected expenses. The Insurance release from operations also includes dividends remitted from US Insurance and IFRS profit after tax for the Fintech business.

New business surplus/(strain) for LGRI and the UK protection business represents the initial profit or loss from writing new business. This includes the costs associated with acquiring new business and setting up prudent reserves, net of tax. Similarly for workplace savings, this includes the cost of acquiring new business in the year less the annual management charges generated by the assets under administration (AUA), net of tax. The new business surplus and release from operations for LGRI and Retail excludes any capital held in excess of the prudent reserves from the liability calculation.

LGRI and Retail Retirement's new business metrics are presented based on a single target long-term asset portfolio. At certain period ends, depending upon the quantum and timing of pension risk transfer (PRT) volumes, we may have sourced more or less of the high quality assets targeted to support that business. At period end, the profit impact of the difference between actual assets held (including alternative surplus assets where suitable) and the long-term asset mix is reflected in investment variance.

Net release from operations for LGRI and Retail is defined as release from operations plus new business surplus/(strain).

Release from operations and net release from operations for LGC and LGIM represents the operating profit (net of tax).

See Note 2.03 for more detail on experience variances, changes to valuation assumptions and non-cash items.

Investment variance	226	255	341
M&A related and other variances ⁴	(19)	(11)	(108)



Total investment and other variances	207	244	233


1. The positive investment variance of £617m reflects the formulaic impact of an increase in UK and US government bond yields which have resulted in a higher discount rate used to calculate the group's protection liabilities.
2. The negative investment variance of £308m largely reflects volatile global equity market performance in the traded investment portfolio.
3. Other investment variance includes a negative variance in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme, reflecting the impact of the acquisition of annuity assets from LGRI and Retail Retirement, and the difference between the IAS 19 and annuity discount rates. This was partially offset by a positive variance from the UK annuity businesses, driven by good quality asset sourcing and improved cash flow matching within the portfolio.
4. M&A related and other variances includes gains and losses, expenses and intangible amortisation relating to acquisitions, disposals and restructuring as well as business start-up costs.

Investment variance includes differences between actual and long-term expected investment return on traded and real assets (including direct investments), economic assumption changes caused by changes in market conditions or expectations (e.g. credit default and inflation), the impact of any difference between the actual allocated asset mix and the single target long-term asset mix on new pension risk transfer business, and the yield associated with assets held for future new pension risk transfer business from the valuation discount rate.

The long-term expected investment return is based on opening economic assumptions applied to the assets under management at the start of the reporting year. The assumptions underlying the calculation of the expected returns for traded equity, commercial property and residential property are based on market consensus forecasts and long-term historic average returns expected to apply through the cycle. The long-term expected investment returns are:

	6 months	6 months	Full year
	2022	2021	2021


Equities	7%	7%	7%
Commercial property	5%	5%	5%
Residential property ¹	3.5%	RPI + 50bps	RPI + 50bps


1. In previous years the assumption RPI + 50bps was in line with average historical returns. Due to the current spike in inflation and in order to keep the rate aligned to average historical returns, it was updated to 3.5% in 2022.

Additionally, the LGC alternative asset portfolio comprises investments in housing, specialist commercial real estate, clean energy, and SME finance. The long-term expected investment return is on average between 8% and 10%, in line with our stated investment objectives. Rates of return specific to each asset are determined at the point of underwriting and reviewed and updated annually. The expected investment return includes assumptions on appropriate discount rates and inflation as well as sector specific assumptions including retail and commercial property yields and power prices.

2.08 Segmental analysis

In 2021, the group operated five core businesses across four reportable segments that are continuing operations, with Retail Retirement and Legal & General Retirement Institutional (LGRI) combined into a single segment for reporting purposes, being Legal & General Retirement. From 1 January 2022, the group has made changes to the business unit responsibilities within the Executive Committee. Andrew Kail has become the Chief Executive Officer of LGRI, succeeding Laura Mason who had previously moved to become CEO of Legal & General Capital (LGC). Our two retail businesses, Retail Retirement and Insurance (comprising UK Insurance and other, and US Insurance), have come together under the leadership of Bernie Hickman. Reportable segments have therefore been aligned to the group's five core businesses. Group expenses and debt costs continue to be reported separately. Transactions between segments are on normal commercial terms, and are included within the reported segments. To enable comparison, segmental information for prior periods has been restated accordingly.

In the UK, annuity liabilities relating to LGRI and Retail Retirement are backed by a single portfolio of assets, and once a transaction has been completed the assets relating to any particular transaction are not tracked to the related liabilities. Investment variance is allocated to the two business segments based on the relative average size of the underlying insurance contract liabilities for the period.

Reporting of assets and liabilities by segment has not been included, as this is not information that is provided to key decision makers on a regular basis. The group's assets and liabilities are managed on a legal entity rather than a segmental basis, in line with regulatory requirements.

Financial information on the reportable segments is further broken down where relevant in order to better explain the drivers of the group's results.

4.01 Basis of preparation

The group financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The group's financial information has also been prepared in line with the accounting policies which the group expects to adopt for the 2022 year end. These policies are consistent with the principal accounting policies which were set out in the group's 2021 consolidated financial statements, except where changes have been outlined below in "New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been adopted by the group". These are consistent with UK-adopted international accounting standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the UK Endorsement Board for use in the United Kingdom.

The preparation of the Interim Management Report includes the use of estimates and assumptions which affect items reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Income Statement and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The economic and non-economic actuarial assumptions used to establish the liabilities in relation to insurance and investment contracts are significant. For half year financial reporting, economic assumptions have been updated to reflect market conditions. Non-economic assumptions are consistent with those used in the 31 December 2021 financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 2.03.

The results for the half year ended 30 June 2022 are unaudited but have been reviewed by KPMG LLP. The interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results from the full year 2021 have been taken from the group's 2021 Annual Report and Accounts. Therefore, these interim accounts should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report and Accounts that have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards, comprising International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee, and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. KPMG LLP reported on the 2021 financial statements, and their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The group's 2021 Annual Report and Accounts has been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

Key technical terms and definitions

The interim management report refers to various key performance indicators, accounting standards and other technical terms. A comprehensive list of these definitions is contained within the glossary section of these interim financial statements.

Alternative performance measures

The group uses a number of alternative performance measures (APMs), including net release from operations and adjusted operating profit, in the discussion of its business performance and financial position, as the group believes that they, complemented with figures determined according to other regulations, enhance understanding of the group's performance. Definitions and further information in relation to the group's APMs can be found in the Alternative Performance Measures section of these interim financial statements.

Tax attributable to policyholders and equity holders

The total tax expense shown in the group's Consolidated Income Statement includes income tax borne by both policyholders and shareholders. This has been split between tax attributable to policyholders' returns and equity holders' profits. Policyholder tax comprises the tax suffered on policyholder investment returns, while shareholder tax is corporation tax charged on shareholder profit. The separate presentation is intended to provide more relevant information about the tax that the group pays on the profits that it makes.

(a) Going concern

The group's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position in the current economic climate are set out in this Interim Management Report. The financial position of the group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities as at 30 June 2022 are described in the IFRS Primary Financial Statements and IFRS Disclosure Notes. Principal risks and uncertainties are detailed on pages 26 to 28.

The directors have made an assessment of the group's going concern, considering both the group's current performance and outlook for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of the interim financial information using the information available up to the date of issue of this Interim Management Report.

The group manages and monitors its capital and liquidity, and applies various stresses, including high inflationary scenarios, to those positions to understand potential impacts from market downturns. Our key sensitivities and the impacts on our capital position from a range of stresses is disclosed on page 80. These stresses do not give rise to any material uncertainties over the ability of the group to continue as a going concern. Based upon the available information, the directors consider that the group has the plans and resources to manage its business risks successfully and that it remains financially strong and well diversified.

Having reassessed the principal risks and uncertainties (both financial and operational) in light of the current economic climate, as detailed on pages 26 to 28, the directors are confident that the group and company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for a period of, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of this Interim Management Report and therefore have considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting when preparing the interim financial information.

(b) New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been adopted by the group

The group has applied the following amendments for the first time in its six months reporting period commencing 1 January 2022.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

These amendments, issued in May 2020, make minor amendments to IFRS 1 'First-time Adoption of IFRS', IFRS 9 'Financial instruments', IAS 41 'Agriculture' and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 'Leases'. These amendments did not have a material impact on the group's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment

These amendments, issued in May 2020, prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. These amendments did not have a material impact on the group's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

These amendments, issued in May 2020, specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. These amendments did not have a material impact on the group's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations

These amendments, issued in May 2020, update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. These amendments did not have a material impact on the group's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts

IFRS 17, 'Insurance Contracts' was originally issued in May 2017 by the IASB, and subsequent amendments were issued in June 2020. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 following endorsement for use in the UK in May 2022. The standard will be applied retrospectively, subject to the transitional options provided for in the standard and provides a comprehensive approach for accounting for insurance contracts including their measurement, income statement presentation and disclosure.

The key general principles of IFRS 17 are that an entity:

· Identifies insurance contracts as those under which the entity accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder;

· Separates specified embedded derivatives, distinct investment components and distinct non-insurance goods or services from insurance contracts and accounts for them in accordance with other accounting standards;

· Aggregates the insurance contracts into groups it will recognise and measure;

· Recognises and measures groups of insurance contracts at:

o A risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all available information about the fulfilment cash flows; and

o An amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin or CSM);

· Recognises profit from a group of insurance contracts over the period the group provides insurance coverage. If a group of contracts is expected to be onerous (i.e. loss making) over the remaining coverage period, a loss is recognised immediately.

IFRS 17 is an accounting change and therefore, while it will have an impact on the timing and profile of profit recognition, we expect the underlying economics and cash generation of the group's businesses to remain the same. While the group continues to refine its methodology and completes the development of models and operational capabilities, it is not possible to provide a reliable estimate of the impact of adopting IFRS 17, nor of the ongoing impact on the group's financial results. However, it is expected that there will be a significant reduction in group equity on adoption, as previously recognised profit will be deferred in the balance sheet within the insurance liability contractual service margin, and released in the future.

4.01 Basis of preparation (continued)

In terms of key accounting policies and approaches relating to IFRS 17, the group is able to set out the following at this time:

· The group will be applying the General Measurement Model to all business measured under IFRS 17.

· On transition to IFRS 17, the group will apply the fully retrospective approach unless impracticable. In some instances, this will lead to the modified retrospective and fair value approaches being used for specific groups of insurance contracts.

· For annuity business the selection of a rate at which to discount future cashflows for groups of insurance contracts is a key determinant in the valuation of the insurance liability. We intend to apply a top down discount rate to such groups, starting from an appropriate asset portfolio with economic deductions.

· IFRS 17 requires an accounting policy decision as to whether to recognise all finance income or expense in profit or loss, or whether to disaggregate the income or expense that relates to changes in financial assumptions into other comprehensive income. All finance income and expense will be included in profit or loss except for protection business where we intend to disaggregate such changes.

The group has a fully mobilised and well progressed programme to implement the new standard. Work is continuing throughout 2022 to finalise technical compliance as well as to test and embed the required systems and operational capability. Communication and training plans are in place for impacted employees, and the Finance function operating model is being refined to ensure the business is ready to implement the new standard.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments' which was effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces IAS 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. It includes new principles around classification and measurement of financial instruments, introduces an impairment model based on expected credit losses (replacing the current model based on incurred losses) and new requirements on hedge accounting. The IASB subsequently issued 'Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts' which allows entities which meet certain requirements to defer their implementation of IFRS 9 until adoption of IFRS 17, 'Insurance Contracts' or 1 January 2021, whichever is the earlier. In June 2020, the IASB agreed to extend the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 from applying IFRS 9 to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The group qualifies for, and is making use of, this deferral option.

In December 2021, in order to alleviate operational complexities and potential one-off accounting mismatches in comparative information between insurance contract liabilities and related financial assets on the initial application of IFRS 17, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 17 titled 'Initial Application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 - Comparative Information'. If an entity applies IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time, this amendment permits it to present comparative information about financial assets derecognised in the comparative period as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to them. The group has chosen to restate comparative information and to apply this classification overlay to all financial assets in scope. Due to the application of the new classification and impairment requirements, the transition to IFRS 9 will generate a day-one impact on group equity, which is not expected to be significant. Similarly, the ongoing impact of IFRS 9 on the group's financial results is not expected to be significant.

IFRS 9 classifies financial assets into the following three categories: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets is based on the entity's business model for managing them, as well as their contractual cash flow characteristics. The group expects to reclassify a certain amount of financial assets as a result of these assessments, in order to better align the accounting treatment of assets that are backing insurance contract liabilities under IFRS 17.

With the exception of financial assets measured under FVTPL, the group will apply an expected credit loss impairment model to all financial assets in scope (including lease receivables and contract assets). The new impairment model requires utilising not only past events and current conditions but also reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, in order to assess the credit risk profiles of those financial assets in scope. The group will recognise either twelve months or lifetime expected credit losses in the Consolidated Income Statement at each reporting period. The group intends to use the practical expedient for financial assets deemed to have low credit risk at the reporting date, which allows recognising twelve months' expected credit losses. Additionally, for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, the group plans to use a provision matrix method to calculate and recognise lifetime expected credit losses.

Most requirements around financial liabilities in IAS 39 have been retained by IFRS 9. Therefore, financial liabilities are expected to be classified and measured under their current categories (either FVTPL or amortised cost).

Finally, hedge accounting requirements have been revised by replacing some of the prescriptive rules in IAS 39 with more principle-based requirements, to be better aligned with the risk management activities of an entity and reflected accordingly in the financial statements. As such, going forward more risk management strategies should be able to qualify for hedge accounting.

The group has a fully mobilised programme to implement the standard. Work will continue throughout the remainder of 2022 to finalise technical compliance as well as to test and embed the required systems and operational capability. Communication and training plans are in place for impacted employees, and the Finance function operating model is being refined to ensure the business is ready to implement the new standard.

(a) Fair value hierarchy

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.

Fair value measurements are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the group's view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The group utilises techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.

The levels of fair value measurement bases are defined as follows:

Level 1: fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: fair values measured using valuation techniques for all inputs significant to the measurement other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: fair values measured using valuation techniques for any input for the asset or liability significant to the measurement that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

All of the group's Level 2 assets have been valued using standard market pricing sources, such as IHS Markit, ICE and Bloomberg, or Index Providers such as Barclays, Merrill Lynch or JPMorgan. Each uses mathematical modeling and multiple source validation in order to determine consensus prices, with the exception of OTC Derivative holdings; OTCs are marked to market using an in-house system (Lombard Oberon), external vendor (IHS Markit), internal model or Counterparty Broker marks. In normal market conditions, we would consider these market prices to be observable market prices. Following consultation with our pricing providers and a number of their contributing brokers, we have considered that these prices are not from a suitably active market and have therefore classified them as Level 2.

The group's investment properties are valued by appropriately qualified external valuers using unobservable inputs, resulting in all investment property being classified as Level 3.

The group's policy is to re-assess categorisation of financial assets at the end of each reporting period and to recognise transfers between levels at that point in time. At 30 June 2022 debt securities totalling net £0.8bn transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Level 3 assets measured at fair value

Level 3 assets, where modelling techniques are used, comprise property, unquoted securities, untraded debt securities and securities where unquoted prices are provided by a single broker. Unquoted securities include suspended securities, investments in private equity and property vehicles. Untraded debt securities include private placements, commercial real estate loans, income strips, retirement interest only and other lifetime mortgages.

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the group determines the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the group has classified within Level 3.

The group determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The group also determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. As appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the group's credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.
Fair values are subject to a control framework designed to ensure that input variables and outputs are assessed independent of the risk taker. These inputs and outputs are reviewed and approved by a valuation committee and validated independently as appropriate.
Climate risk
The group's asset portfolio can be exposed to climate change through both: • Transition risks from the move to a low-carbon economy and the impact this has on asset valuation and the wider economic environment; and • Physical risks from the impact on asset holdings as a result of severe weather events and longer-term shifts in climate. Exposure to the physical risks of climate change are minimised in the direct investment portfolio through rigorous assessment of potential investments, particularly in ensuring there is low susceptibility to extreme weather events. The group monitors the carbon intensity of the investments held at a portfolio level to help understand the environmental impact and reduce high carbon intensive investments in the future. Further detail can be found in our Climate Report (TCFD). The group's assets are valued, where possible, using standard market pricing sources or appropriately qualified external valuers and therefore reflect current market sentiments in respect of climate risk.

Equity securities
Level 3 equity securities amount to £2,114m (30 June 2021: £1,900m; 31 December 2021: £1,988m), of which the majority is made up of holdings in investment property vehicles and private investment funds. They are valued at the proportion of the group's holding of the Net Asset Value reported by the investment vehicles. Other equity securities are valued by a number of third party specialists using a range of techniques which are often dependent on the maturity of the underlying investment but can also depend of the characteristics of individual investments. Such techniques include transaction values underpinned by analysis of milestone achievement, and cash runway for early/start-up stage investments, discounted cash flow models for investments at the next stage of development and earnings multiples for more mature investments.

Other financial investments
Lifetime mortgage (LTM) loans and retirement interest only mortgages amount to £5,758m (30 June 2021: £6,325m; 31 December 2021: £6,857m). Lifetime mortgages are valued using a discounted cash flow model by projecting best-estimate net asset proceeds and discounted using rates inferred from current LTM loan pricing. The inferred illiquidity premiums for the majority of the portfolio range between 100 and 250bps. This ensures the value of loans at outset is consistent with the purchase price of the loan, and achieves consistency between new and in-force loans. The mortgages include a no negative equity guarantee (NNEG) to borrowers. This ensures that if there is a shortfall between the sale proceeds of the property and the outstanding loan balance on redemption of the loan, the value of the loan will be reduced by this amount. The NNEG on loan redemption is valued as a series of put options, which we calculate using a variant of the Black-Scholes formula. Key assumptions in the valuation of lifetime mortgages include short-term and long-term property growth rates, property index volatility, voluntary early repayments and longevity assumptions. The valuation as at 30 June 2022 reflects a long-term property growth rate assumption of 2.9% annually, after allowing for the effects of dilapidation. The values of the properties collateralising the LTM loans are updated from the date of the last property valuation to the valuation date by indexing using UK regional house price indices.

Private credit loans (including commercial real estate loans) amount to £12,115m (30 June 2021: £12,232m; 31 December 2021: £13,521m). Their valuation is determined by discounted future cash flows which are based on the yield curve of the LGIM approved comparable bonds and the initial spread, both of which are agreed by IHS Markit who also provide an independent valuation of comparable bonds. Unobservable inputs that go into the determination of comparators include: rating, sector, sub-sector, performance dynamics, financing structure and duration of investment. Existing private credit investments, which were executed back as far as 2011, are subject to a range of interest rate formats, although the majority are fixed rate. The weighted average duration of the portfolio is 9.1 years, with a weighted average life of 11.9 years. Maturities in the portfolio currently extend out to 2064. The private credit portfolio of assets has internal ratings assigned by an independent credit team in line with internally developed methodologies. These credit ratings range from AAA to BB-.

Private placements held by the US business amount to £1,932m (30 June 2021: £2,090m; 31 December 2021: £1,762m). They are valued using a pricing matrix comprised of a public spread matrix, internal ratings assigned to each holding, average life of each holding, and a premium spread matrix. These are added to the risk-free rate to calculate the discounted cash flows and establish a market value for each investment grade private placement. The valuation as at 30 June 2022 reflects illiquidity premiums between 10 and 70bps.

(b) Level 3 assets measured at fair value (continued)

Commercial mortgage loans amount to £1,080m (30 June 2021: £408m; 31 December 2021: £1,021m) and are determined by incorporating credit risk for performing loans at the portfolio level and for loans identified to be distressed at the loan level. The projected cash flows of each loan are discounted along stochastic risk free rate paths and are inclusive of an Option Adjusted Spread (OAS), derived from current internal pricing on new loans, along with the best observable inputs. The valuation as at 30 June 2022 reflects illiquidity premiums between 20 and 30bps.

Income strip assets amount to £1,580m (30 June 2021: £1,527m; 31 December 2021: £1,626m). Their valuation is outsourced to Knight Frank and CBRE who apply a yield to maturity to discounted future cash flows to derive valuations. The overall valuation takes into account the property location, tenant details, tenure, rent, rental break terms, lease expiries and underlying residual value of the property. The valuation as at 30 June 2022 reflects equivalent yield ranges between 2% and 7% and estimated rental values (ERV) between £16 and £310 per sq.ft.

Other debt securities which are not traded in an active market amount to £100m (30 June 2021: £143m; 31 December 2021: £99m). They have been valued using third party or counterparty valuations, and these prices are considered to be unobservable due to infrequent market transactions.

Investment property

Level 3 investment property amounting to £10,976m (30 June 2021: £9,080m; 31 December 2021: £10,150m) is valued with the involvement of external valuers. All property valuations are carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and are undertaken by appropriately qualified valuers as defined therein. Whilst transaction evidence underpins the valuation process, the definition of market value, including the commentary, in practice requires the valuer to reflect the realities of the current market. In this context valuers must use their market knowledge and professional judgement and not rely only upon historic market sentiment based on historic transactional comparables.

The valuation of investment properties also includes an income approach that is based on current rental income plus anticipated uplifts, where the uplift and discount rates are derived from rates implied by recent market transactions. These inputs are deemed unobservable. The valuation as at 30 June 2022 reflects equivalent yield ranges between 2% and 16% and ERV between £1 and £396 per sq.ft.

4.03 Financial investments and investment property (continued)

Fair values of financial instruments are, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and are not based on observable market data.

Where material, the group assesses the sensitivity of fair values of Level 3 investments to changes in unobservable inputs to reasonable alternative assumptions. The table below shows the impact of applying these sensitivities on the fair value of Level 3 assets as at 30 June 2022. Further disclosure on how these sensitivities have been applied can be found in the descriptions following the table.

		Sensitivities
	Fair value 30 June 2022 £m	Positive impact £m	Negative impact £m
Lifetime mortgages	5,758	216	(216)
Private credit portfolios	15,127	821	(821)
Investment property	10,976	915	(1,075)
Other investments¹	3,793	339	(274)
Total Level 3 assets	35,654	2,291	(2,386)

1. Other investments include Level 3 equity securities, income strip assets and other traded debt securities which are Level 3.

The sensitivities are not a function of sensitising a single variable relating to the valuation of the asset, but rather a function of flexing multiple factors often at individual asset level. The following sets out a number of key factors by asset type, and how they have been flexed to derive reasonable alternative valuations.

Lifetime mortgages
Key assumptions used in the valuation of Lifetime mortgage assets are listed in Note 4.03 (b) and sensitivities are applied to each assumption to arrive at the overall sensitised values in the above table. The most significant sensitivity by value is +/-10% instant reduction in property valuation across the portfolio which, applied in isolation produces sensitised values of £71m and £(143)m.
Private credit portfolios
The sensitivity in the private credit portfolio has been determined through a method which estimates investment spread value premium differences as compared to the institutional investment market. Individual investment characteristics of each holding, such as credit rating and duration are used to determine spread differentials for the purposes of determining alternate values. Spread differentials are determined to be lower for highly rated and/or shorter duration assets as compared to lower rated and/or longer duration assets. A significant component of the spread differential is in relation to the selection of comparator bonds, which is the potential difference in spread of the basket of relevant comparators determined by respective investors. If we were to take an AA rated asset it may attract a spread differential of 15bps on the selection of comparator bonds as opposed to 40bps for a similar duration BBB rated asset. Applied in isolation the sensitivity used to reflect the spread in comparator bond selection results in sensitised values of £274m and £(274)m.

Investment property
Investment property holdings are valued by independent valuers on the basis of open market value as defined in the appraisal and valuation manual of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). As such, sensitivities are calculated through a mixture of asset level and portfolio level methodologies which make reference to individual investment characteristics of the holding but do not flex individual assumptions used by the independent expert in valuing the holdings. Each method is applied individually and aggregated with equal weighting to determine the overall sensitivity determined for the portfolio. One method is similar to that used in the private credit portfolio as it determines the impact of an alternate property yield determined in reference to credit ratings, remaining term and other characteristics of each holding. In this methodology we would apply a lower yield sensitivity to a highly rated and/or shorter remaining term asset compared with a lower rated and/or longer remaining term asset. If we were to take an AA rated asset with remaining term of 25 years in normal market conditions this would lead to a 15bps yield flex (as opposed to a 35bps yield flex for a BBB rated asset with 30 year remaining term). The methodology which leads to the most significant sensitivity at the balance sheet date is related to an example in case law where it was found that an acceptable margin of error in a valuation dispute is 10% either way, subject to the valuation being undertaken with due care. If this sensitivity were to be taken without a weighting it would produce sensitised values of £723m and £(723)m.

It should be noted that some sensitivities described above are non-linear, and larger or smaller impacts should not be interpolated or extrapolated from these results.

4.04 Tax

(a) Tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statement

The tax expense attributable to equity holders differs from the tax calculated at the standard UK corporation tax rate as follows:


	6 months	6 months	Full year
	2022	2021	2021
	£m	£m	£m


Profit before tax attributable to equity holders	1,367	1,320	2,488

Non-recurring reconciling items:
Adjustments in respect of prior years²	(1)	12	24

Tax expense attributable to equity holders	214	258	445


Equity holders' effective tax rate	15.7%	19.5%	17.9%

1. The lower rate of tax on overseas profits is principally driven by the 0% rate of taxation arising in our Bermudan reinsurance company, which provides the group with regulatory capital flexibility for both our PRT business and our US term insurance business. This also includes the impact of our US operations which are taxed at 21%.
2. Adjustments in respect of prior years relate to revisions of prior estimates.
3. The Finance Act 2021 increased the rate of corporation tax from 19% to 25% from 1 April 2023. The prevailing rate of UK corporation tax for the year remained at 19%. The future enacted tax rate of 25% has been used in the calculation of UK deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of temporary differences arising in the period, being the rate of corporation tax that is expected to apply when the majority of those deferred tax balances reverse.

- Overseas deferred tax liabilities²	(189)	(68)	(36)


Net deferred tax liabilities	(292)	(265)	(249)


1. The deferred tax asset represents £113m of US unrealised losses on investments (H1 21: £nil; FY 21: £nil) and £2m of UK restricted losses (H1 21: £12m; FY 21: £2m) that are not capable of being offset against other deferred tax liabilities or future trading profits.
2. Trading losses include UK trade and US operating losses of £3m (H1 21: £12m; FY 21: £2m) and £407m (H1 21: £308m; FY 21: £346m) respectively. Overseas net deferred tax liabilities is wholly comprised of US balances as at 30 June 2022 and includes the US deferred tax asset. The losses are not time restricted, and we expect to recover them over a period of 15 to 20 years, commensurate with the lifecycle of the underlying insurance contracts. In reaching this conclusion, we have considered past results, the different basis under which US companies are taxed, temporary differences that are expected to generate future profits against which the deferred tax can be offset, management actions, and future profit forecasts. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is routinely reviewed by management.

4.06 Restricted Tier 1 convertible notes

On 24 June 2020, Legal & General Group Plc issued £500m of 5.625% perpetual restricted Tier 1 contingent convertible notes. The notes are callable at par between 24 March 2031 and 24 September 2031 (the First Reset Date) inclusive and every 5 years after the First Reset Date. If not called, the coupon from 24 September 2031 will be reset to the prevailing five year benchmark gilt yield plus 5.378%.

The notes have no fixed maturity date. Optional cancellation of coupon payments is at the discretion of the issuer and mandatory cancellation is upon the occurrence of certain conditions. The Tier 1 notes are therefore treated as equity and coupon payments are recognised directly in equity when paid. During the period a coupon payment of £14m was made (H1 21: £14m; FY 21: £28m). The notes rank junior to all other liabilities and senior to equity attributable to owners of the parent. On the occurrence of certain conversion trigger events the notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Issuer at the prevailing conversion price.

The notes are treated as restricted Tier 1 own funds for Solvency II purposes.

4.07 Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent third party interests in direct equity investments, including private equity, which are consolidated in the group's results.

As at 30 June 2022, non-controlling interests primarily represent third party ownership in Thorpe Park Holdings, a mixed residential/commercial retail space in which the group holds 50%.

No other individual non-controlling interest is considered to be material on the basis of the period end carrying value or share of profit or loss.

(a) Other provisions

Included within Other provisions are amounts relating to new and existing M&A and restructuring transactions. This includes costs that Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has committed to incur to extend its existing partnership with State Street, to increase the use of Charles River technology across the front office and to deliver middle office services going forward.

(b) Retirement benefit obligations

The Legal & General Group UK Pension and Assurance Fund (Fund) and the Legal & General Group UK Senior Pension Scheme (Scheme) account for the majority of the UK and worldwide assets of, and contributions to, such arrangements. The Fund and Scheme were closed to future accrual on 31 December 2015.

As at 30 June 2022, the combined obligation arising from these arrangements has been estimated at £594m (30 June 2021: £980m; 31 December 2021: £1,020m). The retirement benefit obligations are a component of Provisions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The after tax surplus, net of annuity obligations insured by Legal and General Assurance Society (LGAS), has been calculated to be £131m (30 June 2021: deficit of £28m; 31 December 2021: deficit of £22m).

The group operates two other defined benefit pension schemes, both of which are closed to future accrual and have a combined retirement benefit obligation of £5m (30 June 2021: £25m; 31 December 2021: £5m).

4.14 Contingent liabilities, guarantees and indemnities

Provision for the liabilities arising under contracts with policyholders is based on certain assumptions. The variance between actual experience from that assumed may result in those liabilities differing from the provisions made for them. Liabilities may also arise in respect of claims relating to the interpretation of policyholder contracts, or the circumstances in which policyholders have entered into them. The extent of these liabilities is influenced by a number of factors including the actions and requirements of the PRA, FCA, ombudsman rulings, industry compensation schemes and court judgments.

Various group companies receive claims and become involved in actual or threatened litigation and regulatory issues from time to time. The relevant members of the group ensure that they make prudent provision as and when circumstances calling for such provision become clear, and that each has adequate capital and reserves to meet reasonably foreseeable eventualities. The provisions made are regularly reviewed. It is not possible to predict, with certainty, the extent and the timing of the financial impact of these claims, litigation or issues.

Group companies have given warranties, indemnities and guarantees as a normal part of their business and operating activities or in relation to capital market transactions or corporate disposals. Legal & General Group Plc has provided indemnities and guarantees in respect of the liabilities of group companies in support of their business activities including Pension Protection Fund compliant guarantees in respect of certain group companies' liabilities under the group pension Fund and Scheme. LGAS has provided indemnities, a liquidity and expense risk agreement, a deed of support and a cash and securities liquidity facility in respect of the liabilities of group companies to facilitate the group's matching adjustment reorganisation pursuant to Solvency II.

The group has the following material related party transactions:

- Assured Payment Policies (APPs) have been transacted between the group's defined benefit pension schemes and LGAS. An APP is an investment contract product sold by LGRI which, issued to a pension scheme, provides the scheme with a fixed or inflation-linked schedule of payments to match the scheme's expected liabilities.

The UK defined benefit pension schemes hold transferable plan assets of the same amounts, which do not eliminate on consolidation.

- Loans outstanding from related parties at 30 June 2022 of £20m (30 June 2021: £22m; 31 December 2021: £15m), with a further commitment of £2m;
