Standard Chartered PLC - Results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2024

All figures are presented on an underlying basis and comparisons are made to 2023 on a reported currency basis, unless otherwise stated. A reconciliation of restructuring and other items excluded from underlying results is set out on page 22.

Bill Winters, Group Chief Executive, said:

"We have delivered a strong performance in the third quarter with profit before tax up 41%, driven by a record quarter in Wealth Solutions and strong growth in our Global Markets business.

We are doubling investment in our consistently fast-growing and high-returning wealth management business, and we will continue to reshape our mass retail business to focus on developing our pipeline of future affluent and international banking clients. In our CIB business, we are taking actions to focus on larger global clients who rely on our unique cross-border capabilities.

These actions will further simplify our business and help us to generate higher quality growth and improve our RoTE over the medium term. We are increasing both our 2026 RoTE target from 12% to approaching 13%, and our shareholder distribution target from at least $5bn to at least $8bn from 2024 to 2026."

Selected information on Q3'24 financial performance with comparisons to Q3'23 unless otherwise stated

• Operating income up 11% to $4.9bn, up 12% at constant currency (ccy)

- Net interest income (NII) up 9% at ccy to $2.6bn, partly due to the short-term hedge roll-off; Non NII up 15% at ccy to $2.3bn

- Wealth Solutions up 32% at ccy, with broad-based growth across products and supported by continued strong momentum in leading indicators of net new sales and affluent new to bank clients

- Global Markets up 16% at ccy, with strong performance in flow income and episodic income

• Operating expenses up 3% to $2.9bn, up 2% at ccy driven by inflation and business growth, partly offset by efficiency saves

• Credit impairment charge of $178m includes $177m from Wealth & Retail Banking (WRB) which was up quarter-on-quarter primarily due to a $21m overlay relating to Korea eCommerce platform, and a $10m net recovery in Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB)

- High risk assets of $8.3bn broadly flat quarter-on-quarter

- Loan-loss rate (LLR) of 21bps, down 16bps on prior year and up 9bps on prior quarter

• Balance sheet remains strong, liquid and well diversified

- Loans and advances to customers of $287bn, up $11bn or 4% since 30.6.24; down $1bn on an underlying basis with continued growth in CIB offset by mortgage headwinds in WRB

Taking further actions to deliver sustainably higher returns

• Double investment in wealth management for affluent clients:

- We are already a leading wealth manager across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, with a distinctive, fast-growing and high-returning international affluent franchise. We have decided to step up our planned investment into this business to accelerate income growth and returns

- In WRB, we will invest around $1.5bn over five years in relationship managers and investment advisers, wealth solutions, and enhanced advisory, cross-border and digital capabilities. This represents a doubling of investment relative to our prior plans

- The incremental investment will be funded by reshaping our mass retail business to focus on building a strong pipeline of future affluent and international banking clients

- The impact of this reshaping will vary across our network. We will continue to review single-product lending relationships and portfolios which no longer meet our strategic objectives, in order to prioritise higher growth and higher-returning assets

- We are exploring the opportunity to sell all or part of a small number of businesses where the strategic rationale is not sufficiently compelling, enabling us to focus our resources on the cross-border needs of our CIB and affluent WRB clients

- We expect these actions to take effect over the next 18-24 months

- We are confident that our increased investment and greater concentration will help us to outperform the market in terms of asset gathering and income growth over the medium term, enabling us to sustain double-digit income growth in Wealth Solutions

• Sharpen focus on cross-border needs of corporate and investment banking clients:

- In CIB, we will continue to sharpen our focus on serving the cross-border needs of our larger global corporate and financial institution clients who require transaction and securities services, financing, risk management and sector advisory expertise across Asia, Africa and the Middle East

- This will include concentrating our efforts on serving the complex needs of fewer client groups where we have the most distinctive offering, and we will reduce the number of clients whose needs do not play directly to our strengths

- We are targeting to increase income from financial institution clients to around 60 per cent of CIB over the medium-term, and to increase the percentage of cross-border (network) income to around 70 per cent

• Our leading sustainability business will continue to be an integral part of our client offering across both CIB and WRB, and for the Group as a whole

Guidance

We are upgrading our 2024 income guidance while all other 2024 points of guidance remain unchanged:

• Operating income to increase towards 10% in 2024 at ccy, excluding the two notable items

We are also revising our 2025 and 2026 guidance as follows, while all other guidance remains unchanged:

• Operating income to increase 5-7% CAGR in 2023-2026 at ccy; 2025 growth expected to be below the 5-7% range at ccy

• Positive income-to-cost jaws in each year at ccy, excluding the two notable items

• Basel 3.1 day-1 impact now expected to be close to neutral

• Plan to return at least $8bn to shareholders cumulative 2024-2026, increased from previous guidance for at least $5bn

• RoTE increasing steadily from 10%, approaching 13% in 2026 and to progress thereafter

1 Variance is better/(worse) other than assets, liabilities and risk-weighted assets. Change is percentage points difference between two points rather than percentage change for total capital ratio (%), common equity tier 1 ratio (%), net interest margin (%), advances-to-deposits ratio (%), liquidity coverage ratio (%), leverage ratio (%), cost-to-income ratio (%) and return on ordinary shareholders' tangible equity (%)

2 Profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders is after the deduction of dividends payable to the holders of non-cumulative redeemable preference shares and Additional Tier 1 securities classified as equity

3 When calculating this ratio, total loans and advances to customers excludes reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending, excludes approved balances held with central banks, confirmed as repayable at the point of stress and includes loans and advances to customers held at fair value through profit and loss. Total customer accounts include customer accounts held at fair value through profit or loss

4 Represents the underlying or reported earnings divided by the basic weighted average number of shares. Results represent three months ended the reporting period

5 Calculated on period end net asset value, tangible net asset value and number of shares

6 Net interest margin is calculated as adjusted net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, annualised

7 Reported performance/results within this interim financial report means amounts reported under UK-adopted IAS and EU IFRS. In prior periods Reported performance/ results were described as Statutory performance/results

8 Change is cents difference between the two periods for earnings per share, net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share. Number of ordinary shares at period end is percentage difference between the two periods

All commentary that follows is on an underlying basis and comparisons are made to the equivalent period in 2023 on a constant currency basis, unless otherwise stated.

The Group delivered a strong performance in the third quarter of 2024 with underlying operating income of $4.9 billion, the best third quarter since 2015, and up 12 per cent. Underlying net interest income (NII) was up 9 per cent at constant currency as the Group benefitted from the roll-off of short-term hedges and improved mix from Treasury activities. Underlying non net interest income (Non NII) increased 15 per cent driven by a record quarter in Wealth Solutions and strong performance in Global Markets with double digit growth in both flow and episodic income. Operating expenses grew 2 per cent resulting in positive income-to-cost jaws of 9 per cent. The credit impairment charge of $178 million was equivalent to an annualised loan-loss rate of 21 basis points. This resulted in an underlying profit before tax of $1.8 billion, up 41 per cent.

The Group remains well capitalised and highly liquid with a diverse and stable deposit base. The liquidity coverage ratio of 143 per cent reflects disciplined asset and liability management. The common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.2 per cent is above the top of the Group's target range post the 62 basis points full impact of the $1.5 billion share buyback announced in July 2024.

• Underlying operating income of $4.9 billion was up 12 per cent driven by a record performance in Wealth Solutions, double-digit growth in Global Markets from product expansion and increased client demand, and the roll-off of short-term hedges within Treasury

• Underlying NII increased 9 per cent, benefitting from the roll-off of short-term hedges of $123 million and improved mix from Treasury activities, partly offset by an accounting asymmetry resulting from Treasury management of FX positions and elevated deposit passthrough rates in Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB)

• Underlying non NII increased 15 per cent. This was driven by a record performance in Wealth Solutions with broad-based growth across products and markets, and a strong performance in Global Markets with double-digit growth in both flow and episodic income. Excluding two notable items of $12 million relating to a hyperinflationary accounting adjustment in Ghana and revaluation of FX positions in Egypt, underlying non NII increased 14 per cent

• Underlying operating expenses increased 2 per cent. This growth reflected the impact of inflation and the Group's continued investment into business growth initiatives including Wealth and Retail Banking (WRB) relationship managers and CIB capabilities partly offset by efficiency saves. The Group generated 9 per cent positive income-to-cost jaws in the quarter

• Credit impairment was a charge of $178 million. The $177 million charge in WRB was higher than normalised levels primarily due to a $21 million overlay relating to Korea eCommerce platforms. CIB benefitted from further recoveries, partly offset by $34 million overlay for clients who have exposures to the Hong Kong commercial real estate sector. There was a $16 million charge in Ventures, mainly from Mox, albeit delinquency rates have improved

Page 05

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued

• Other impairment charges of $92 million include a charge of $68 million related to the write-off of software assets with no impact on capital ratios

• Profit from associates and joint ventures increased $10 million to $13 million, reflecting change in profits at China Bohai Bank (Bohai)

• Restructuring, DVA and Other items charges totalled $85 million. Restructuring of $91 million reflects the impact of actions to transform the organisation to improve productivity, partly offset by gains on the remaining Principal Finance portfolio. Movements in Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) were a positive $5 million

• Taxation was $0.6 billion on a reported basis with an underlying year-to-date effective tax rate of 30.8 per cent, broadly flat on the prior year reflecting deferred tax not recognised for UK losses, US tax adjustments and a change in the geographic mix of profits. The full year 2024 underlying effective tax rate (ETR) is expected to be around this level and the statutory tax rate is expected to be a few percentage points higher than the underlying ETR for this year, and trend downwards in future years

• Underlying return on tangible equity (RoTE) increased by 380 basis points to 10.8 per cent reflecting the increase in profits

1 Comparisons presented on the basis of the current period's transactional currency rate, ensuring like-for-like currency rates between the two periods

The operating income by product commentary that follows is on an underlying basis and comparisons are made to the equivalent period in 2023 on a constant currency basis, unless otherwise stated.

Transaction Services income decreased 5 per cent as the impact of margin compression more than offset volume growth across Payments and Liquidity, and Trade & Working Capital. Securities & Prime Services income was up 15 per cent mainly driven by higher custody, funds and prime brokerage fees and higher margins.

Global Banking income increased 7 per cent as Lending & Financial Solutions grew 4 per cent mostly from strong pipeline execution which led to higher origination volumes. Capital Markets & Advisory income was up 29 per cent.

Global Markets income increased 16 per cent with double-digit growth in both flow and episodic income. Episodic growth was mainly driven by higher Rates income. Flow grew mostly from increased FX volumes and Credit Trading.

Wealth Solutions income was up 32 per cent with broad-based growth across all products supported by new and innovative product launches, increased investment in Affluent Relationship Managers and continued strong new to bank onboarding levels. Wealth net new sales of $5 billion in the quarter were up 13 per cent year-on-year.

CCPL & Other Unsecured Lending income was up 6 per cent with volume growth in both Personal Loans and Credit Cards.

Page 06

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued

Deposits income decreased 1 per cent as the impact of higher Time Deposit volumes was more than offset by lower margins. Passthrough rates remained largely stable.

Mortgages & Other Secured Lending income was up 47 per cent or $31 million primarily from higher margins as the cost of funding reduced, particularly with lower HIBOR rates, albeit partly offset by lower mortgage volumes.

Treasury income increased by $272 million to a loss of $2 million benefitting from the roll-off of the short-term hedge and repricing of structural hedges, partly offset by a $2 million loss on revaluation of FX positions in Egypt.

Other products loss of $46 million includes higher funding costs of non-financial assets partly offset by $14 million relating to a hyperinflationary accounting adjustment in Ghana.

1 Comparisons presented on the basis of the current period's transactional currency rate, ensuring like-for-like currency rates between the two periods

The client segment commentary that follows is on an underlying basis and comparisons are made to the equivalent period in 2023 on a constant currency basis, unless otherwise stated.

Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) profit increased 9 per cent. Income grew 2 per cent with Global Markets up 16 per cent from double-digit growth in both flow and episodic income, and Global Banking up 7 per cent from higher origination volumes and pipeline execution. This was partly offset by Transaction Services which was down 5 per cent due to margin compression from higher passthrough rates. Expenses were 6 per cent higher, while credit impairment was a net release of $10 million. Other impairment of $57 million primarily related to the write-off of software assets.

Wealth & Retail Banking (WRB) profit increased 11 per cent. Income increased 11 per cent, with Wealth Solutions up 32 per cent from broad-based growth across products, partly offset by lower Deposits income due to lower margins. Expenses increased 4 per cent while credit impairment was $62 million higher, but broadly in-line with recent run-rates excluding a $21 million overlay relating to Korea eCommerce platforms and removal of a $13 million post model adjustment relating to Singapore credit cards.

Ventures loss decreased by $18 million to $99 million. Income increased by $8 million to $43 million with Digital Banks income of $39 million up 44 per cent. Expenses increased by $10 million whilst there was an impairment charge of $16 million primarily from Mox, albeit delinquency rates have improved.

Central & other items (C&O) recorded a loss of $201 million, which was 65 per cent lower than the prior year. Treasury income was up $281 million from the prior year largely driven by benefits from the roll-off of the short-term hedge and repricing of structural hedges, and a $2 million loss on revaluation of FX positions in Egypt. Other products income was down $52 million to a loss of $65 million driven by higher funding costs of non-financial assets coupled with non-repeat of FX gains made in the prior year, partly offset by $14 million relating to a hyperinflationary accounting adjustment in Ghana. Expenses, which include UK Bank levy, central corporate costs and recharges, decreased by $71 million while there was a credit impairment release of $5 million mostly from sovereign-related portfolio movements. Associate income increased by $18 million reflecting change in profits at Bohai.

Page 07

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued

Adjusted net interest income was up 10 per cent driven by an increase in the net interest margin which averaged 195 basis points in the quarter, increasing 32 basis points year-on-year and 2 basis points compared to the prior quarter. The benefit from the roll-off of the short-term hedges and improved yield on structural hedges was partly offset by lower asset volumes and an accounting asymmetry resulting from Treasury management of FX positions.

• Average interest-earning assets were down by $1.4 billion in the quarter primarily due to a reduction in underlying loans and advances to customers driven by a decline in mortgages. Gross yields decreased 10 basis points compared to the prior quarter due to the impact of lower interest rate on customer loan pricing and Treasury portfolio yields partly offset by the benefit from roll-off of the short-term hedges

• Average interest-bearing liabilities were up by $2.6 billion on the prior quarter mostly from growth in WRB deposits. The rate paid on liabilities decreased 14 basis points compared with the average in the prior quarter reflecting an increase in the trading book funding cost adjustment partly offset by increase in Treasury accounting asymmetry

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued

Asset quality remained resilient in the third quarter, with an improvement in a number of underlying credit metrics.

The Group continues to actively manage the credit portfolio while remaining alert to changes in the external environment, including increased geopolitical tensions, which has led to idiosyncratic stress in a select number of geographies and industry sectors.

The credit impairment charge of $178 million in the quarter was down $116 million year-on-year, representing an annualised loan loss rate of 21 basis points. The $177 million charge in WRB was higher than normalised levels primarily due to a $21 million overlay relating to Korea eCommerce platforms. There was a $16 million charge in Ventures, down $14 million year-on-year as delinquency rates have improved in Mox. CIB was a net release of $10 million benefitting from further recoveries, partly offset by $34 million overlay for clients who have exposures to the Hong Kong commercial real estate (CRE) sector and a $24 million overlay for economic uncertainty in Bangladesh. Also included is a China CRE sector charge of $6 million as additional stage 3 provisions were offset by $15 million in management overlay releases primarily as a result of repayments. The management overlay now totals $71 million, and the Group has provided $1.2 billion in total in relation to the China CRE sector.

Gross stage 3 loans and advances to customers of $6.5 billion were 2 per cent lower compared with 30 June 2024 as repayments, client upgrades, reduction in exposures and write-offs more than offset new inflows. Credit-impaired loans represent 2.2 per cent of gross loans and advances, broadly flat on the prior quarter.

The stage 3 cover ratio of 65 per cent increased 2 percentage points compared with the position at 30 June 2024 due to the decrease in gross stage 3 loans. The cover ratio post collateral of 81 per cent was broadly stable.

Credit grade 12 balances of $0.9 billion and Early alert accounts of $5.1 billion remained broadly stable quarter-on-quarter.

The proportion of investment grade corporate exposures was flat at 74 per cent quarter-on-quarter.

1 Goodwill and other impairment include $697 million impairment charge relating to the Group's investment in its associate China Bohai Bank (Bohai).

The Group's reported performance is adjusted for profits or losses of a capital nature, amounts consequent to investment transactions driven by strategic intent, other infrequent and/or exceptional transactions that are significant or material in the context of the Group's normal business earnings for the period and items which management and investors would ordinarily identify separately when assessing underlying performance period-by period.

Restructuring charges of $91 million reflect the impact of actions to transform the organisation to improve productivity, primarily additional redundancy charges and technology related costs partly offset by profits on the remaining Principal Finance portfolio.

Movements in DVA were positive $5 million, driven by the widening of the Group's asset swap spreads.

2 The Group excludes $20,534 million held with central banks (30.06.24: $18,419 million, 31.12.23: $20,710 million, 30.09.23: $21,241 million) that has been confirmed as repayable at the point of stress. Advances exclude reverse repurchase agreement and other similar secured lending of $8,955 million (30.06.24: $7,788 million, 31.12.23: $13,996 million, 30.09.23: $10,267 million) and include loans and advances to customers held at fair value through profit or loss of $6,093 million (30.06.24: $6,877 million, 31.12.23: $7,212 million, 30.09.23: $5,935 million). Deposits include customer accounts held at fair value through profit or loss of $22,344 million (30.06.24: $19,850 million, 31.12.23: $17,248 million, 30.09.23: $15,930 million)

The Group's balance sheet remains strong, liquid and well diversified:

• Loans and advances (L&A) to customers increased by $11 billion or 4 per cent from 30 June 2024 to $287 billion. This was driven by a $3 billion increase from Treasury and securities-based lending and a $8 billion increase from currency translation. Excluding these items L&A were down a net $1 billion on an underlying basis, from an increase in Trade which was more than offset by a decline in mortgages. Year-to-date L&A were up 2 per cent on an underlying basis mostly from an increase in CIB partly offset by a decline in mortgages

• Customer accounts of $478 billion increased by $10 billion or 2 per cent from 30 June 2024 and were up 1 per cent on an underlying basis excluding the impact of currency translation. This was primarily driven by an increase in WRB Time Deposits from affluent clients

• Other assets increased by $23 billion or 4 per cent from 30 June 2024 with increases in financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss, primarily in relation to the trading book, derivatives and unsettled trade balances partly offset by a decrease in investment securities. Other liabilities increased 7 per cent with an increase in derivative liabilities, repurchase agreements, unsettled trade liabilities partly offset by a decrease in financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss

The advances-to-deposits ratio was broadly flat at 52.7 per cent since 30 June 2024. The point-in-time liquidity coverage ratio decreased 5 percentage points in the quarter to 143 per cent and remains well above the minimum regulatory requirement.

The Group's CET1 ratio of 14.2 per cent was 41 basis points lower than as at 30 June 2024 and remains 3.7 percentage points above the Group's latest regulatory minimum of 10.6 per cent. Underlying profit accretion was partly offset by shareholder distributions.

There was 48 basis points of CET1 accretion from underlying profits, and a further 19 basis points uplift primarily from fair value gains on other comprehensive income, FX and regulatory capital adjustments. This was partly offset by 21 basis points from an increase in RWAs.

The Group is part way through the $1.5 billion share buyback programme which it announced on 30 July 2024, and by 30 September 2024 had spent $603 million purchasing 61 million ordinary shares, reducing the share count by approximately 2 per cent. Even though the share buyback was still ongoing on 30 September 2024, the entire $1.5 billion is deducted from CET1 in the period, reducing the CET1 ratio by 62 basis points. Including the $1 billion buyback that was announced on 23 February 2024 and completed on 25 June 2024 , the Group has purchased 174 million shares during the year to 30 September, reducing the share count by approximately 7 per cent.

The Group is accruing a foreseeable dividend in respect of the final 2024 ordinary share dividend in the third quarter. This is not an indication of the Group's final 2024 ordinary share dividend, which will be proposed by the Board at the presentation of the 2024 full year results. The increase in the foreseeable dividend for ordinary dividend and AT1 coupons reduced the CET1 ratio by 25 basis points.

The Group's UK leverage ratio of 4.7 per cent decreased 11 basis points from 30 June 2024 and remains significantly above its minimum requirement of 3.8 per cent.

Guidance

We are upgrading our 2024 income guidance while all other 2024 points of guidance remain unchanged:

• Operating income to increase towards 10 per cent in 2024 at constant currency, excluding the two notable items

We are also revising our 2025 and 2026 guidance as follows, while all other guidance remains unchanged:

• Operating income to increase 5-7 per cent CAGR in 2023-2026 at constant currency; 2025 growth expected to be below the 5-7 per cent range at constant currency

• Positive income-to-cost jaws in each year at constant currency, excluding the two notables

• Basel 3.1 day-1 impact now expected to be close to neutral

• Plan to return at least $8 billion to shareholders cumulative 2024-2026, increased from previous guidance for at least $5 billion

• RoTE increasing steadily from 10 per cent, approaching 13 per cent in 2026 and to progress thereafter

Performance highlights

• Underlying profit before tax of $1,365 million was up 9 per cent at constant currency (ccy) driven by higher income and lower credit impairment, partly offset by higher operating expenses

• Underlying operating income of $2,887 million was up 2 per cent at ccy primarily driven by strong performance in Global Markets and Global Banking. Global Markets was up 16 per cent from double-digit growth in both flow and episodic income, and Global Banking was up 7 per cent from higher origination volumes and pipeline execution. Transaction services was down 5 per cent, driven by lower margins across Payments & Liquidity and Trade & Working Capital products. Securities & Prime Services income was up 15 per cent mainly driven by higher custody, funds and prime brokerage fees and higher margins

• Underlying operating expenses increased 6 per cent at ccy reflecting inflation and investment in business growth initiatives

• Credit impairment was a net release of $10 million due to benign level of impairment driven by releases partly offset by $34 million overlay for clients who have exposures to the Hong Kong commercial real estate sector, and a $24 million overlay for economic uncertainty in Bangladesh. Other impairment charge primarily related to the write-off of software assets

• Risk-weighted assets (RWA) of $153 billion were up $4 billion since 30 June 2024. This was mostly driven by $1.7 billion from currency translation and $3 billion market risk RWA

Performance highlights

• Underlying profit before tax of $742 million was up 11 per cent at constant currency (ccy) mainly driven by higher income partly offset by higher operating expenses and credit impairment

• Underlying operating income of $2,040 million was up 11 per cent at ccy, driven primarily by Wealth Solutions, up 32 per cent. Growth in Wealth Solutions was broad-based across markets and products, driven by continued momentum in Affluent new-to-bank onboarding and net new money. Mortgage income increased by 47 per cent benefiting from lower funding costs as HIBOR reduced. CCPL & Other Unsecured Lending income also increased by 5 per cent due to higher volumes driven by Partnership led growth. Deposits income dropped by 2 per cent as the impact of higher Time Deposit volumes was more than offset by lower margins. Passthrough rates remained largely stable

• Underlying operating expenses increased 4 per cent at ccy, mainly from inflation and investment in business growth initiatives including strategic hiring of Affluent relationship managers

• Credit impairment charge of $177 million up $54 million, mainly from normal flows coupled with an overlay of $21 million related to Korea eCommerce platforms

This was due to strong growth in customer numbers and volumes in both Digital Banks, Mox and Trust

• Operating expenses increased by 8 per cent due to inflation and investment in business growth initiatives

• Credit impairment decreased from $30 million to $16 million primarily from charges in Mox albeit delinquency rates have improved

Performance highlights

• Underlying Q3'24 loss before tax of $201 million improved by 65 per cent compared to prior period loss, due to a lower operating loss, lower operating expenses and an increase in income from Associates, partly offset by a write-off of software assets

• Underlying operating loss reduced by $229 million to $66 million year-on-year. Treasury income increased by $281 million mainly from the roll-off of short-term hedges and upward repricing of structural hedges. Other income decreased by $52 million due to higher funding costs of non-financial assets coupled with non-repeat of FX gains made in Q3'23
