2 Revenue is defined as net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions.

3 Estimated Capital Requirements Directive ('CRD') IV common equity tier 1 ('CET1') end point capital pre management actions, based on our interpretation of the July 2011 draft CRD IV regulation, supplemented by Prudential Regulation Authority ('PRA') guidance. However, the rules are yet to be finalised and estimates are subject to change.

-- We continued to implement our strategy to grow, simplify and restructure the Group, announcing nine transactions to dispose of or close businesses since the start of 2013, making the total 52 since the start of 2011. Consistent with our commitment to adopt global standards, we continue to take steps to de-risk our business.

-- Reported profit before tax ('PBT') for the first quarter of 2013 ('1Q13') was US$8.4bn, up 95% compared with the first quarter of 2012 ('1Q12'). This included adverse movements of US$0.2bn on the fair value of our own debt (1Q12: US$2.6bn) and gains of US$1.1bn from disposals and the reclassification of an associate (1Q12: US$0.2m).

-- Underlying PBT for 1Q13 was US$7.6bn, up 34% compared with 1Q12. This primarily reflected higher revenue of US$0.8bn and lower loan impairment charges of US$0.9bn, with a notable improvement in our US Consumer and Mortgage Lending ('CML') portfolio.

-- Underlying revenue included a net gain of US$0.6bn on completion of the sale of our remaining shareholding in Ping An and a US$0.5bn favourable debit valuation adjustment on derivative contracts. Remaining revenue was broadly unchanged. We achieved revenue growth in key areas including residential mortgages and Commercial Banking in both our home markets of Hong Kong and the UK, and Financing and Equity Capital Markets.

-- Underlying operating expenses were down 2% compared with 1Q12, reflecting lower charges in respect of UK customer redress programmes and a reduction in restructuring costs. We achieved US$0.4bn of additional sustainable cost savings during the quarter.

   --      Underlying cost efficiency ratio improved to 53.2% in 1Q13 from 56.9% in 1Q12. 
   --      Core tier 1 capital ratio was 12.7% at 31 March 2013, up from 12.3% at 31 December 2012. 

Group Chief Executive, Stuart Gulliver, commented:

"We have had a good start to the year, with growth in reported and underlying profit before tax. These results demonstrate our progress in implementing the strategy we set out in May 2011.

"While continuing uncertainty in the global economy has created a relatively muted environment for revenue growth, we have increased revenue in key areas including residential mortgages and Commercial Banking in both our home markets of Hong Kong and the UK, and in our Financing and Equity Capital Markets business.

"Loan impairment charges were lower in every region, notably in North America. Our continued focus on cost management contributed to an improvement in our underlying cost efficiency ratio.

"We have achieved further progress on the journey we started in 2011 to make HSBC easier to manage and control. The implementation of global standards will help ensure that we meet the commitments we made to the US and UK authorities as part of the settlement agreements reached at the end of last year.

"Our performance in April continued the trend we saw in the first quarter. Looking at the macroeconomic environment, there are still challenges ahead. However, we expect the mainland Chinese economy to accelerate after a slower than expected start to the year; the US to continue to outperform its peers, although the pace of growth is slow compared to past standards; the eurozone to contract; emerging markets to grow at around 5% and global growth to be around 2% for 2013.

"We have strengthened our capital position and remain one of the best-capitalised banks in the world, allowing us both to invest in organic growth and grow dividends. Our strategic direction remains unchanged. Later this month we will update investors on the next phase of its implementation."

Underlying performance

Internally we measure our performance on a like-for--like basis by eliminating the effects of foreign currency translation and changes in credit spread on the fair value of our long-term debt (where the net result of such movements will be zero upon maturity of the debt). We also eliminate the effects of acquisitions, disposals and changes of ownership levels of subsidiaries, associates and businesses. All of these distort period-on-period comparisons. For disposals, acquisitions and changes of ownership levels of subsidiaries, associates and businesses, we eliminate the gain or loss on disposal in the period incurred and remove the operating profit or loss of the acquired and disposed of businesses from all periods presented.

Financial performance commentary

-- Reported net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit provisions ('revenue') was US$18.4bn in 1Q13, US$2.2bn higher than in 1Q12. This primarily reflected lower adverse movements of US$0.2bn on our own debt designated at fair value resulting from changes in credit spreads, compared with US$2.6bn in 1Q12. In addition, revenue included US$1.1bn of gains (net of losses) from disposals and reclassifications compared with US$0.2bn in 1Q12, including an accounting gain in 1Q13 arising from the reclassification of Industrial Bank Co., Limited ('Industrial Bank') as a financial investment following its issue of additional share capital to third parties. The resulting increase in revenue was partially offset by the absence of revenue in 1Q13 from businesses disposed of during 2012, notably Cards and Retail Services ('CRS') in the US, which was sold in May 2012.

-- Underlying revenue was US$17.6bn in 1Q13, US$0.8bn higher than in 1Q12. This included items totalling US$1.1bn, as follows:

- a net gain recognised on completion of the sale of our remaining shareholding in Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Limited ('Ping An') of US$0.6bn;

- a favourable debit valuation adjustment of US$0.5bn in Global Banking and Markets ('GB&M') on derivative contracts reflecting a widening of spreads on HSBC credit default swaps and refinement of the calculation;

   -      foreign exchange gains on sterling debt issued by HSBC Holdings of US$0.4bn; 

- a loss relating to the write-off of allocated goodwill recognised following the reclassification of a non-strategic business to 'Assets held for sale' in Global Private Banking ('GPB') of US$0.3bn; and

   -      a loss of US$0.1bn on the sale of an HFC Bank UK secured loan portfolio. 

Remaining Group revenue was broadly unchanged:

- GB&M delivered a strong revenue performance in the quarter. However, this was lower than 1Q12 for two reasons: (i) 1Q12 benefited from the significant tightening of spreads on eurozone bonds following the European Central Bank's announcement of the Long-Term Refinancing Operation, although this reduction in revenue was partly offset by lower adverse fair value movements on structured liabilities; and (ii) Balance Sheet Management revenue decreased due to lower net interest income as proceeds from the sale and maturing of investments were reinvested at prevailing rates. In addition, there were lower gains on the disposal of available-for-sale debt securities in the UK. These factors were partly offset by increased revenue from Financing and Equity Capital Markets which was driven by higher lending spreads together with a rise in fees in our financing, advisory and underwriting businesses and the non-recurrence of losses on the sale of certain syndicated loans in 1Q12.

- In Retail Banking and Wealth Management ('RBWM'), revenue decreased due to a decline in the US run-off portfolio which reflected a loss of US$0.2bn arising from the early termination of US$1.0bn of qualifying accounting hedges as a result of potential funding changes. Revenue in RBWM excluding the US CRS business and the US run-off portfolio increased, mainly driven by higher net interest income from an increase in average secured lending balances in Hong Kong and the UK.

- In Commercial Banking ('CMB') revenue was in line with 1Q12. There was moderate growth in net fee income across most product groups, while net interest income was broadly unchanged as higher average lending and deposit balances, notably in the UK and Hong Kong, were largely offset by spread compression.

-- Loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions ('LIC's) were lower in all regions than in 1Q12. The decrease was most significant in North America due to reduced lending balances and lower delinquency rates in our CML portfolio, as well as the sale of the CRS business in 2012. The Middle East and North Africa benefited from a net release of LICs raised in previous periods compared with significant impairment charges in 1Q12, reflecting the improvement in the financial position of certain customers. LICs also decreased in Europe, reflecting lower credit risk provisions due to net releases on available-for-sale asset-backed securities due to an improvement in underlying asset prices. This compared with charges in 1Q12. Also in Europe, notably in the UK, lower loan impairment charges in RBWM reflected a fall in delinquency rates.

-- Reported operating expenses in 1Q13 of US$9.3bn were 10% lower than in 1Q12. On an underlying basis, operating expenses fell by US$0.2bn, primarily due to lower charges relating to UK customer redress programmes of US$0.3bn and a US$0.2bn reduction in restructuring and related costs. Remaining operating expenses were US$0.3bn higher, mainly due to an operational risk provision in GPB, a customer remediation provision related to our former CRS business, the cost of transitional service agreements following the sale of the CRS business and an impairment of our interest in a joint venture, which in aggregate totalled US$0.4bn. Wage inflation also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. These factors were partly offset by sustainable cost savings and lower performance-related costs in GB&M.

-- We achieved an additional US$0.4bn of sustainable cost savings across all our regions, taking the annualised total to US$4.0bn as we continued with our organisational effectiveness programmes.

-- The reported cost efficiency ratio improved from 63.9% in 1Q12 to 50.8% in 1Q13 while, on an underlying basis, it improved from 56.9% to 53.2%.

-- The number of full-time equivalent staff at the end of the quarter was 260,400, broadly unchanged since 31 December 2012. This reflected a reduction from organisational effectiveness initiatives and business disposals which was largely offset by recruitment, notably in our Risk function (including Compliance) as we continued the implementation of global standards.

-- The effective tax rate for 1Q13 of 15.7% was lower than the UK corporation tax rate of 23.25%. This was driven by the benefits arising from the non-taxable gains on profits associated with the reclassification of Industrial Bank as a financial investment and the Ping An sale, and the geographical distribution of the Group's profit.

-- Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the first quarter was US$6.2bn, up by US$3.8bn on 1Q12, with the result that the annualised return on average ordinary shareholders' equity was 14.9% compared with 6.4% in 1Q12.

1Q13 compared with 4Q12

-- Reported revenue of US$18.4bn in 1Q13 was US$1.5bn higher than in 4Q12, despite significantly lower gains (net of losses) from disposals and reclassifications of US$1.1bn compared with US$3.3bn in 4Q12. 1Q13 included adverse movements on own debt designated at fair value resulting from changes in credit spreads of US$0.2bn compared with US$1.3bn in 4Q12.

   --      On an underlying basis, revenue was US$3.0bn higher, driven by: 

- a charge in 4Q12 of US$0.9bn from the change in estimation methodology in respect of credit valuation adjustments on derivative contracts;

- the net gain recognised on completion of our remaining shareholding in Ping An of US$0.6bn in 1Q13 which offset the adverse fair value movement on the forward contract included in our 4Q12 results; and

   -      foreign exchange gains in 1Q13 on sterling debt issued by HSBC Holdings. 

-- Remaining revenue increased, driven by GB&M. This was notably in Rates in Europe following muted customer activity in the fourth quarter, in our Credit business as the momentum achieved in 2012 within debt capital markets continued, and in Balance Sheet Management due to higher gains on the disposal of available-for-sale debt securities in North America and Europe in 1Q13.

-- LICs were lower than in 4Q12, mainly in Europe due to a higher level of individually assessed impairments in CMB in 4Q12 on UK, Spanish and Greek exposures. In addition, there were lower loan impairment charges in North America, primarily due to the non-recurrence of an adjustment made in 4Q12 of US$0.2bn to increase the estimated average time period from current status to write-off for real estate loans.

-- Reported operating expenses for 1Q13 were 18% lower than in 4Q12. On an underlying basis, operating expenses were also lower, as 4Q12 included charges related to the UK bank levy and fines and penalties paid as part of the settlement of investigations into past inadequate compliance with anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. In addition, in 1Q13 there were lower charges relating to UK customer redress programmes and restructuring and related costs. The remaining operating expenses were US$0.4bn (5%) lower, primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of asset write-offs and lease provisions, and a decline in litigation penalties and related costs.

Balance sheet commentary

-- Reported loans and advances to customers declined by US$39.0bn during 1Q13. This resulted from foreign exchange differences of US$25.4bn, a US$1.2bn reduction in reverse repo balances and a decrease in customer lending of US$12.5bn. The latter was driven by the reclassification of customer lending balances relating to the planned disposals of non-strategic businesses in Latin America and Europe to 'Assets held for sale'. Apart from this, loans and advances to customers remained broadly unchanged from 31 December 2012. Term and trade-related lending to CMB customers in Hong Kong rose as cross-border trade between Hong Kong and mainland China increased. In addition, residential mortgage balances rose in a number of countries across Rest of Asia-Pacific, including mainland China which benefited from an active property market. Residential mortgage balances continued to grow in Hong Kong, albeit at a slower rate than in 2012, while competitive campaigns led to a rise in the UK. This was partly offset by the continued decline in residential mortgage balances in the US run-off portfolio. In addition, overdraft balances in the UK which did not meet the accounting netting criteria fell.

-- Reported customer accounts declined by US$32.1bn compared with 31 December 2012. This resulted from foreign exchange movements of US$29.8bn, and a fall in customer deposits of US$9.7bn in 1Q13. The latter was driven by declines in Latin America and Europe which reflected the reclassification to 'Liabilities of disposal groups held for sale' of customer account balances relating to the planned disposals of non-strategic operations. A US$7.4bn rise in repo balances partly offset these declines. The fall in customer account balances was broadly in line with 31 December 2012 levels, as a decline in current accounts in the UK relating to the reduction in overdraft balances which did not meet the accounting netting criteria and lower customer deposit balances in North America was largely offset by growth in all global businesses in the Middle East and North Africa and higher RBWM balances in Hong Kong, Rest of Asia-Pacific and the UK.

-- Other significant balance sheet movements in the quarter included an increase in trading assets and liabilities, reflecting a rise in customer activity and a resultant increase in settlement account balances. Loans to banks also rose, largely in Europe, as liquidity was deployed into reverse repos, and in Hong Kong and Rest of Asia-Pacific, where there was a rise in interbank placements.

Capital and risk-weighted assets

The core tier 1 capital ratio strengthened to 12.7% from 12.3% at 31 December 2012 as a result of the completion of management actions and profit generation offset by the effect of regulatory changes.

Internal capital generation contributed US$3.0bn to core tier 1 capital, being profits attributable to shareholders of the parent company after a regulatory adjustment for own credit spread and net of dividends. This was largely offset by foreign currency translation differences resulting from the strengthening of the US dollar.

Risk-weighted assets ('RWA's) reduced by US$26.2bn, of which US$9.8bn was due to foreign exchange movements. Credit risk RWAs decreased by US$38.1bn from the reclassification of Industrial Bank as a financial investment and its consequent exclusion from the regulatory consolidation of RWAs. This was partially offset by an increase in credit risk RWAs of US$19.0bn due to the introduction of a new PRA regulatory floor in the calculation of credit risk RWAs on sovereign exposures under the advanced internal ratings-based ('IRB') approach.

The estimated CRD IV CET1 ratio strengthened to 9.7% from 9.0% at 31 December 2012 due to the sale of our remaining shareholding in Ping An and to the factors described above. After taking into account planned management actions mitigating the effect of immaterial holdings, the CET1 ratio is estimated to be 10.1%.

Net interest margin

Net interest margin was lower than in 1Q12 as a result of significantly lower yields on customer lending, including balances within 'Assets held for sale'. This was driven by the effect of disposals during 2012, notably the higher yielding CRS portfolio in the US, coupled with a downward trend in interest rates in a number of countries. Yields on our surplus liquidity also fell, notably in Latin American and Europe, as proceeds from maturing investments and disposals were reinvested at lower prevailing rates. The fall in yield was partly offset by a reduction in the cost of funds on customer accounts in the low rate environment and on debt issued by the Group, notably in the US where lower funding requirements following the business disposals led to debt at higher effective rates maturing and not being replaced. The decline in net interest margin compared with 4Q12 similarly reflected the change in the composition of our balance sheet as a result of disposals, together with lower yields on our surplus liquidity. This was partly offset by a reduction in our cost of funds, notably on debt issued by the Group, together with lower rates paid on customer account balances.

Trading conditions and outlook for 2013

Although broad macroeconomic challenges persist, we expect the mainland Chinese economy to accelerate after a slower than expected start to the year. We forecast that the US will continue to outperform its peers, though the pace of growth will be slow compared with past experience. We expect that the eurozone will contract, that emerging markets will grow at around 5%, and that global growth will be around 2% in 2013.

Our performance in April continued the trend we saw in the first quarter.

Notes

-- Income statement comparisons, unless stated otherwise, are between the quarter ended 31 March 2013 and the quarter ended 31 March 2012. Balance sheet comparisons, unless otherwise stated, are between balances at 31 March 2013 and the corresponding balances at 31 December 2012.

-- The financial information on which this Interim Management Statement is based, and the data set out in the appendix to this statement, are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with HSBC's significant accounting policies as described in the Annual Report and Accounts 2012, with the exception of the adoption of the following new or revised standards: IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements', IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' and IAS 19 'Employee Benefits'. These new standards are effective from 1 January 2013 and their adoption had an insignificant effect on the consolidated financial statements of HSBC. A glossary of terms is also provided in the Annual Report and Accounts 2012.

-- The Board has adopted a policy of paying quarterly interim dividends on the ordinary shares. Under this policy, it is intended to have a pattern of three equal interim dividends with a variable fourth interim dividend. Dividends are declared in US dollars and, at the election of the shareholder, paid in cash in one of, or in a combination of, US dollars, sterling and Hong Kong dollars or, subject to the Board's determination that a scrip dividend is to be offered in respect of that dividend, may be satisfied in whole or in part by the issue of new shares in lieu of a cash dividend.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements

The Interim Management Statement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to HSBC's financial condition, results of operations and business.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about HSBC's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as 'expects', 'anticipates', 'intends', 'plans', 'believes', 'seeks', 'estimates', 'potential' and 'reasonably possible', variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. HSBC makes no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring or existing after the date of any forward-looking statements.

Written and/or oral forward-looking statements may also be made in the periodic reports to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, summary financial statements to shareholders, proxy statements, offering circulars and prospectuses, press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by HSBC's Directors, officers or employees to third parties, including financial analysts.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that a number of factors could cause actual results to differ, in some instances materially, from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statement. These include, but are not limited to:

-- changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, such as continuing or deepening recessions and fluctuations in employment beyond those factored into consensus forecasts; changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; volatility in equity markets; lack of liquidity in wholesale funding markets; illiquidity and downward price pressure in national real estate markets; adverse changes in central banks' policies with respect to the provision of liquidity support to financial markets; heightened market concerns over sovereign creditworthiness in over-indebted countries; adverse changes in the funding status of public or private defined benefit pensions; and consumer perception as to the continuing availability of credit and price competition in the market segments we serve;

-- changes in government policy and regulation, including the monetary, interest rate and other policies of central banks and other regulatory authorities; initiatives to change the size, scope of activities and interconnectedness of financial institutions in connection with the implementation of stricter regulation of financial institutions in key markets worldwide; revised capital and liquidity benchmarks which could serve to deleverage bank balance sheets and lower returns available from the current business model and portfolio mix; imposition of levies or taxes designed to change business mix and risk appetite; the practices, pricing or responsibilities of financial institutions serving their consumer markets; expropriation, nationalisation, confiscation of assets and changes in legislation relating to foreign ownership; changes in bankruptcy legislation in the principal markets in which we operate and the consequences thereof; general changes in government policy that may significantly influence investor decisions; extraordinary government actions as a result of current market turmoil; other unfavourable political or diplomatic developments producing social instability or legal uncertainty which in turn may affect demand for our products and services; the costs, effects and outcomes of product regulatory reviews, actions or litigation, including any additional compliance requirements; and the effects of competition in the markets where we operate including increased competition from non-bank financial services companies, including securities firms; and

-- factors specific to HSBC, including our success in adequately identifying the risks we face, such as the incidence of loan losses or delinquency, and managing those risks (through account management, hedging and other techniques). Effective risk management depends on, among other things, our ability through stress testing and other techniques to prepare for events that cannot be captured by the statistical models it uses; and our success in addressing operational, legal and regulatory, and litigation challenges, notably compliance with the Deferred Prosecution Agreements with US authorities.

The table above presents a reconciliation of our reported core tier 1 capital and RWAs position at 31 March 2013 to the pro-forma CRD IV fully loaded estimated CET1 capital and estimated RWAs. The table has been prepared on a consistent basis to our 2012 year end disclosures in order to illustrate our transition to Basel III under CRD IV and provide some insight into the possible effects of these rules on our capital position. These estimates are based on our interpretation of the draft July 2011 CRD IV rules, supplemented by guidance provided by the PRA, as applicable. However, the rules are yet to be finalised and these estimates are subject to change.

In April 2013, the European Parliament ('EP'), the Council and Commission agreed in principle the final CRD IV package. However, an EP Plenary vote is scheduled for June to adopt the final text. The implementation date of CRD IV is likely to be 1 January 2014, although this is dependent upon the completion of the various translations and its publication in the EU Official Journal before 1 July 2013. There are also still numerous areas where technical standards are yet to be drafted by the European Banking Authority.

We are currently analysing the impact of the proposals incorporated in the text.

A detailed basis of preparation can be found in the Annual Report and Accounts 2012 (see Appendix to Capital on page 298).
