Lloyds took an additional charge of £100 million for PPI in the first quarter, bringing its total provision to very close to £20bn since the scandal first came to light.
Net income increased by 2% to £4.4 billion, which was a little below the consensus forecast. Profits were flat at £1.6bn, which again was below expectations. Doubts on credit risks are not going away, with asset quality ratio up again to 25bps. Return on tangible equity improved to 12.5%, above its cost of equity. CET1 dropped to 14.2% pre dividend.
Its net interest margin looks solid enough, holding at 2.91%, which compares favourably with peers. Cost cutting is helping the bottom line even if revenue growth is not really there – cost to income improved to 44.7% with positive jaws of 6%.
The company backed its full year outlook – NIM remaining around 290 basis points, operating costs below £8 billion and a net asset quality ratio below 30 basis points. Lloyds still expects a return on tangible equity of 14-15% in 2019.
As previously stated, the problem with Lloyds is from its very high exposure to the UK market, both unsecured and mortgage lending. It’s really tethered to the UK economy – rising and falling in tandem with consumer spending and the mortgage market, and doesn’t seem to be driving revenue growth unless the economy is growing.
Shares skidded 2% lower after the results underwhelmed. After the PRA boosted the stock by cutting its capital requirements, it’s as you were.
Lloyds shares have outperformed chief peers Barclays and RBS in the last year.
