LLOYDS TSB GROUP 2000 RESULTS
PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
On 3 March 2000 the Group completed the acquisition of Scottish
Widows and, as a result, the investments now held to support the
with-profits business of the Group's life companies are much
more significant than in previous years. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting practice amongst listed insurance
companies in the UK, the results of the Group's insurance
businesses have been separately analysed between an operating
profit, which includes investment earnings calculated using
longer-term rates of investment return, and a profit before tax,
separately identifying the short-term fluctuations in investment
returns (page 42, note 8).
Other items also had a significant impact on the Group's 2000
results: changes in the economic assumptions applied to our long-
term assurance business (page 43, note 9), exceptional
restructuring costs (page 43, note 10), the impact of provisions
for redress to past purchasers of pension policies
(page 23) and a one-off charge relating to stakeholder pensions
(page 23). In 1999 the sale and closure of businesses was also
significant (page 41, note 5). To facilitate comparisons of the
results, certain financial information and commentaries have
been presented on a 'business as usual operating profit' basis,
which excludes the effect of these items.

Commenting on the results Lloyds TSB Group chairman, Sir Brian
Pitman, said:-
'2000 was another successful year for the Lloyds TSB Group, with
profit, earnings per share and economic profit all at record
levels. At the same time, we are investing heavily in e-
commerce and restructuring to enhance future earnings. This
good performance enabled the board to increase the final
dividend to 21.3p, bringing the total for the year to 30.6p, an
increase of 15 per cent.'

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
2000 was a watershed year for the financial services sector. It
heralded dramatic change in the use of technology, driven by the
internet. It saw a significant increase in competition from
both traditional players and new entrants, and it was marked by
the increasing requirements of consumers who are rightly
becoming more aware and more demanding. 2000 also saw strong
Government interest in the industry with the Cruickshank report
and the subsequent review by the Competition Commission into the
provision of banking services to small and medium-sized
businesses. We were pleased to commit, with the other major
banks, to partial funding of the Universal Bank, which we
believe will be a useful contribution to providing banking
facilities to all those who require them.
Against that background, we believe that the organisations which
will survive and prosper in this changing environment will be
those which maximise shareholder value by creating real value
for their customers. Our vision is to create an organisation
that understands and looks after our customers so well that they
give us the privilege of looking after more of their financial
affairs.
Our Governing Objective to maximise shareholder value over time
is underpinned by our three strategic aims of being a leader in
our chosen markets, being first choice for our customers by
better understanding and meeting their needs, and by driving
down our day-to-day operating costs so that we have greater
scope for investment in better products, superior service and
multi-channel distribution. We have made good progress on a
number of fronts.
During the year we made further progress on our first strategic
aim to be a leader in our chosen markets with the acquisition of
Scottish Widows, concluded in March, which made us one of the
top three suppliers of long-term savings and protection products
in the UK. Scottish Widows also brought a leading and powerful
brand to the Group. In September we also concluded the purchase
of Chartered Trust which gave us market leadership in the
independent provision of motor finance.
So, we have made significant progress towards meeting this
important strategic aim, but the most exciting developments and
progress have been made in the critically important strategic
aim of being first choice for our customers by better
understanding and meeting their needs.
During 2000 we introduced a greatly enhanced model of Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) which is already improving
customer loyalty, and increasing revenue growth in our retail
business. This involves the real time delivery of detailed
information to our customer facing staff and allows us to manage
customer relationships in a manner that is consistent with an
individual customer's needs. The new system takes a segmented
approach to our customer base and draws extensively on best CRM
practice throughout the world. Full roll out throughout our UK
branch network is to be completed during the first quarter of
2001.

Revenue growth will be a key component of sustainable profits
over the next few years and we will therefore be investing
heavily in core markets such as wealth management, long-term
savings and investments, business banking, our core retail
franchise and in new technology.
Our added value current account product range continues to be in
strong demand and over 2 million of our customers now have
either a Gold or Select Current Account, making us a market
leader in this field. In addition, we increased the number of
our higher value personal choice customers to over 850,000
during 2000, and increased our customers' total product holdings
by a net 700,000. We are targeting to increase our product
sales substantially during 2001 and we remain confident of
achieving a net 3 million increase in total product holdings by
the end of 2002.
At its heart, CRM is about retaining and deepening our
relationships with our customers through a policy of
segmentation and this forms a key part of our new strategies in
the wealth management and small business sectors. The first
stage of our new approach in the wealth management segment has
been the development of our plans to provide a new set of
products and services for more affluent customers, which are now
being implemented under a new brand 'Create'. For these
customers we will provide tailored independent advice, superior
service and a choice of investment options from quality
providers. Key elements will be our online share dealing and
funds hypermarket, and a new Wealth Management Account that will
allow consolidation of financial products into a single account.
The Create offer will be underpinned by access to the
comprehensive broking services of Goldman Sachs PrimeAccessT.
This service will provide clients with customised proprietary
research from Goldman Sachs, international equity dealing and
market making, custody and settlement, and access to selected
equity capital market offerings managed by Goldman Sachs.
Create forms a key part of Lloyds TSB's revenue growth strategy
and expects to have around 250,000 clients by the end of 2002.
Lloyds TSB currently makes pre-tax profits of some £300 million
annually from wealth management in the UK and overseas, and
believes that this can be doubled within four years of Create's
full market launch this summer.
In the small business market, we have been greatly encouraged by
the success of a recent pilot of a set of new segmented offers,
which we have developed in response to our business customers'
differing needs. The rollout of these new offers during 2001,
coupled with further enhancement of our innovative small
business portal - success4business.com - which within 6 months
of launch already has over 20,000 registered customers, will
cement our position as the UK's leading bank for small business
start ups. We have also launched LloydsTSBMarketplace, a trade
facilitation web service, that allows suppliers and buyers
access to a secure e-enabled environment to conduct business
with a wide variety of companies within their specific
marketplace.
Lloyds TSB is one of the most powerful financial services brands
in the UK. We have a very comprehensive network of branches
together with one of the largest telephone banking businesses in
the UK with over 2.0 million customers and, with over 1.2
million registered online customers, LloydsTSB.com is now
consistently one of the most visited financial websites in
Europe.
Page 4 of 45
LLOYDS TSB GROUP
Our overall distribution capability will be further improved in
the second half of the year as we complete our IT integration as
planned, providing online real time technology for all our
retail banking customers, a facility which will become
increasingly important in the internet world.
In December 2000 the Group announced that it had agreed to form
a joint venture between Goldfish, Centrica's financial services
brand, and evolvebank.com, Lloyds TSB's standalone internet
banking operation. The joint venture intends to offer a broad
range of integrated financial services products from which
customers can select to meet their individual needs.
evolvebank.com will provide technology and banking expertise,
together with Lloyds TSB's track record in bancassurance and
regulatory experience. Centrica will bring the Goldfish brand,
together with immediate access to 9 million Centrica customers.
Turning from income generation to cost management, the
management of our day-to-day costs continues to have a strong
emphasis in the Group, whilst at the same time we are continuing
to invest heavily in e-commerce, in restructuring to improve
our efficiency and productivity, and in improving the quality of
our sales and service in order to enhance future earnings. Our
restructuring programme is making strong progress, with further
centralisation of processing achieved and consolidation of IT
centres underway. We are also accelerating the expansion of
lower cost delivery channels which will involve greater use of
telephony, with more telephone calls taken out of our branches
into dedicated call centres, allowing the branches to
concentrate on face-to-face contact with our customers.
In August 2000 the Group announced the creation of a new
payments processing company - Intelligent Processing Solutions
Limited (iPSL) - in conjunction with Unisys and Barclays. iPSL
will handle all of the Group's cheque processing activities.
With increased levels of electronic banking leading to a decline
in the volume of cheques being processed, iPSL provides the
economies of scale needed to offset the increasing unit cost of
processing cheques.
So, how did these strategies translate into growth and profits?
Our business as usual results for 2000 were good, with an 8 per
cent growth in income, profit before tax up 11 per cent,
customer lending up 12 per cent, and customer deposits up by 8
per cent. Our efficiency ratio remained good at 43.6 per cent,
one of the best efficiency ratios in the world for a financial
services group of our size, business mix and complexity. Asset
quality improved and we maintained our strong position in all
our core markets. Profit before tax on a statutory basis rose
by £265 million, or 7 per cent, to £3,886 million. Retained
profit for the year was £1,041 million, reflecting the
significant capital generation within the Group.
Income again grew satisfactorily with continuing margin pressure
in retail markets more than offset by good volume growth in a
number of areas. We achieved a record level of product sales,
and market share gains in many of our core markets. We are now
selling more retail products and servicing more personal
customers than we have ever done.

LLOYDS TSB GROUP
The quality of the Group's earnings remained high and profit
before tax from UK Retail Financial Services, encompassing UK
Retail Banking, Mortgages, and Insurance and Investments,
increased by £599 million, or 24 per cent, to £3,129 million.
This represents 74 per cent of total group profit. Our
Wholesale Markets and International Banking divisions also
continued to make solid progress.
Going forward, the thrust of our strategy is about the
continuing investment in our growth businesses to deliver
organic revenue growth through customer relationship management,
leveraging the strength of our brands and our multi-channel
distribution capability, reducing our day-to-day unit costs and
driving forward our e-commerce strategy.
We also intend to participate in the further consolidation of
financial services, both in the UK and overseas. Our recent
proposal for Abbey National to join the Lloyds TSB Group would,
we believe, greatly enhance productivity and the ability to
deliver value to shareholders and customers, defend our market
position and put us in a stronger position to pursue our
overseas aspirations.
The implementation of our strategies will ensure that, through
profitable top line revenue growth and a strong grip on our day-
to-day operating costs, the Group can continue to deliver a
strong and sustainable return on equity, together with robust
growth in equity and economic profit. The future for the
financial services sector will undoubtedly be more challenging
than it has been in the past, but we believe we are equipped
with the strategy, the staff, the management and the
determination to continue to succeed.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
2000 figures contain a number of items which had a significant
impact on the Group's results; short-term fluctuations in
investment returns, changes in the economic assumptions applied
to our long-term assurance business, exceptional restructuring
costs, pension provisions, a stakeholder pension related charge
and, in 1999, the loss on sale and closure of businesses.
Excluding the impact of these items, profit before tax on a
business as usual basis rose by £425 million, or 11 per cent, to
£4,246 million from £3,821 million in 1999. Total income
increased by 8 per cent, operating expenses increased by 10 per
cent and there was a 6 per cent increase in the trading surplus.
Customer lending and deposits continued to grow, however the net
interest margin decreased by 37 basis points to 3.49 per cent,
partly as a result of the impact of the funding cost of the
purchase of Scottish Widows which, as expected, reduced the
margin by 20 basis points. Excluding the funding cost of
Scottish Widows, the group net interest margin in the second
half of 2000 was 3.67 per cent, compared with 3.70 per cent in
the first half of the year. Good volume growth in customer
lending and deposits more than compensated for the decrease in
the margin. The efficiency ratio was 43.6 per cent compared
with 42.7 per cent in 1999. Profit attributable to shareholders
increased by 11 per cent, earnings per share increased by 10 per
cent to 54.5p and economic profit increased by 10 per cent to
£2,142 million. The post-tax return on average shareholders'
equity was 31.8 per cent, compared with 32.7 per cent in 1999.
The post-tax return on average assets increased to 1.92 per cent
from 1.82 per cent in 1999, and the post-tax return on average
risk-weighted assets increased to 3.44 per cent from 3.24 per
cent.
Profit before tax on a statutory basis rose by £265 million, or
7 per cent, to £3,886 million from £3,621 million in
1999. Economic profit increased by 6 per cent to £1,882
million, earnings per share increased by 7 per cent to 49.6p,
shareholders' equity increased by 13 per cent and the post-tax
return on average shareholders' equity was 29.1 per cent.
The transfer of Scottish Widows' business to the Lloyds TSB
Group was completed on 3 March 2000 and the results of the
Scottish Widows' business have been consolidated in full with
effect from that date. On a business as usual basis, Scottish
Widows contributed £403 million since 3 March 2000, before
taking into account funding costs of £258 million. This
compares with normalised pre-tax profits of £349 million in
1999. As a result of the Scottish Widows acquisition, group
fee income increased to 46 per cent of total income in 2000,
compared with 40 per cent in 1999. In 2000, the contribution
from Insurance and Investments rose to 34 per cent of group
profit, with more than half of this from life, pensions and
unit trusts.
The acquisition of Chartered Trust was completed on 1 September
2000. Its results have been consolidated in full with effect
from that date and a restructuring provision of £21 million has
been made to cover the costs of integrating Chartered Trust and
Lloyds UDT. Excluding this restructuring provision and £9
million goodwill amortisation, the impact on group figures has
been to increase net interest income by £31 million after
funding costs of £12 million, increase other income by £53
million, increase operating expenses by £62 million, increase
the provisions charge by £12 million and increase profit before
tax by £10 million.
Page 8 of 45
LLOYDS TSB GROUP
As previously anticipated, we incurred £188 million exceptional
restructuring costs in 2000. E-commerce investment costs
totalled approximately £150 million. Cost control will
remain very important but a core element of our strategies
is to continue to increase investment to underpin further our
competitiveness and revenue growth opportunities. These
strategies are aimed at increasing economic profit from
many of the Group's higher growth markets, particularly wealth
management, long-term savings and investments, business banking
and the further segmentation of our core retail franchise.
Accordingly, the Group's efficiency ratio is expected to improve
further over time but we no longer believe that it is
appropriate to be constrained by a separate efficiency ratio
target.
Total profit before tax on a business as usual basis from UK
Retail Financial Services, which encompasses UK Retail Banking,
Mortgages, and Insurance and Investments, increased by
£599 million, or 24 per cent, to £3,129 million from £2,530
million in 1999.
- Pre-tax profit from UK Retail Banking rose by £28 million, or
4 per cent, to £817 million. Total income increased by 2 per
cent, costs increased by 7 per cent largely as a result of e-
commerce investment costs, and there was a reduction of 19 per
cent in bad debt provisions largely due to the good economic
conditions during 2000, and a one-off benefit of £42 million
arising from a change in methodology for retail provisioning to
recognise more accurately the amount that the Group expects to
recover.
- Competition in the mortgage market was evident throughout the
year leading, as anticipated, to a lower net interest margin
which resulted in pre-tax profit from Mortgages decreasing by £3
million, to £865 million from 1999. Gross new lending increased
by 7 per cent to £11.5 billion, compared with £10.7 billion a
year ago, and net new lending was £4.6 billion, significantly
higher than £2.8 billion last year. This represented an
estimated market share of net new lending of 11.4 per cent,
higher than our 9.8 per cent share of mortgages outstanding, and
is particularly encouraging given that mortgages are key
recruitment products for other retail products and services.
The Group continues to be one of the most efficient mortgage
providers in the UK.
- Operating profit, including investment returns based on long-
term rates of investment return, from Insurance and Investments
increased by 66 per cent to £1,447 million from £873 million,
largely as a result of the inclusion, since 3 March 2000, of
Scottish Widows within our life and pensions business. Pre-tax
profit from general insurance operations, comprising
underwriting and broking, rose by £130 million, or 28 per cent,
to £591 million, mainly as a result of continued strong revenue
growth and an improvement in our claims experience. The Group
has maintained its position as a leading distributor of personal
lines insurance in the UK.
Wholesale Markets pre-tax profit increased by £21 million, or 3
per cent, to £749 million. Provisions for bad and doubtful
debts increased by £19 million to £94 million largely as a
result of a higher level of provisions in the motor finance
businesses and the acquisition of Chartered Trust. Total assets
increased by 7 per cent and risk-weighted assets grew by 16
per cent mainly reflecting the acquisition of Chartered Trust.
Page 9 of 45
LLOYDS TSB GROUP
International Banking pre-tax profit was £57 million higher at
£501 million compared with 1999. Profits from New Zealand in
local currency terms increased by 21 per cent. International
private banking and the Group's offshore banking operations both
showed improvements over 1999. Our consumer finance business in
Brazil, Losango Consumer Finance, made a pre-tax profit of £41
million, compared with a profit of £31 million in 1999.
The total group charge for bad and doubtful debts was 19 per
cent lower at £475 million, compared with £588 million in 1999.
The domestic charge decreased to £426 million from £500 million,
lower provisions in retail banking and mortgages were partially
offset by a higher charge in the motor finance businesses.
Provisions overseas decreased to £49 million from £88 million
mainly as a result of higher Emerging Market Debt provision
releases, following debt repayments and some asset sales, which
offset higher provisions in Argentina. The Group's charge for
bad and doubtful debts, expressed as a percentage of average
lending, was 0.43 per cent compared to 0.57 per cent in 1999.
At the end of the year specific provisions for bad and doubtful
debts for the Group totalled £1,816 million, representing over
140 per cent of non-performing loans.
The total capital ratio was 9.0 per cent and the tier 1 capital
ratio was 8.2 per cent. Balance sheet assets increased by £42
billion, or 24 per cent, to £218 billion from £176 billion at
the end of 1999. £25 billion of this growth was represented by
an increase in long-term assurance liabilities to policyholders
following the acquisition of Scottish Widows. Loans and
advances to customers increased by £12 billion, or 12 per cent.
Risk-weighted assets increased by 11 per cent to £93.5 billion
from £84.1 billion at the end of 1999.
Staff eligible to participate in the staff profit sharing scheme
will receive 10 per cent of basic salary (1999: 10.5 per cent).
The total payment will be £108 million (1999: £104 million).
