Royal Bank Of Scotland Group PLC

04 November 2011

Highlights

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) reports a third quarter operating profit(1) of GBP267 million and a year to date operating profit of GBP2,138 million, up 15%

RBS core operating profit of GBP1,264 million in the third quarter and GBP5,033 million year-to-date

Q3 attributable profit of GBP1,226 million after fair value of own debt credit of GBP2,357 million

Strong Core Tier 1 ratio increases to 11.3%; TNAV increases to 52.6p

Funding and liquidity metrics continue to strengthen; loan:deposit ratio 112%, liquidity pool of GBP170 billion

Key highlights


RBS successfully focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet
during the volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment experienced
in the third quarter. Capital, funding and liquidity metrics improved
and remain robust. The decline in Core operating performance reflects
a challenging quarter in Global Banking & Markets (GBM), which
maintained a cautious risk appetite in a very subdued operating
environment. Retail & Commercial maintained income in the quarter,
and year-to-date profits for these businesses were up 9%. RBS
Insurance maintained and built on its recovery, and Non-Core made
further progress. Non-Core is on course to meet its year-end target
of GBP96 billion of funded assets, a reduction of over GBP40 billion
during 2011. Core return on equity year-to-date is 12% despite
continuing market, economic and regulatory headwinds.

-- Income - Group income was GBP6,358 million in the third quarter,
down 18% compared with the second quarter, driven by a decline
in Non-Core income of over GBP900 million as valuation gains
reported in the second quarter were not repeated. GBM income
was down 29% at GBP1.1 billion in the third quarter, reflecting
a cautious risk appetite and difficult market conditions.
-- Expenses - Group third quarter operating expenses were GBP3,821
million, down 2% from the second quarter and down 6% year to
date. The cost:income ratio was 62% in Core and 68% for the
Group, reflecting the weaker revenue environment.
-- Impairments - Impairments were GBP1,536 million in Q3 2011,
down GBP728 million compared with Q2 2011 principally driven
by lower provisions in Non-Core, which in Q2 2011 had recorded
substantial provisions in respect of Irish development land
values. Trends in most divisions remain broadly stable and
comparable with the previous quarter.
-- Balance sheet - The Group funded balance sheet fell by GBP16
billion during the quarter, with Non-Core down GBP8 billion
and GBM down GBP20 billion. This was partially offset by an
increase of GBP15 billion within Group Treasury due to a planned
increase in the liquidity pool. The credit provision and coverage
of risk elements in lending were maintained at Q2 levels.
-- Funding and liquidity - The Group loan:deposit ratio (LDR)
improved 200 basis points to 112%, with Core LDR at 95%. The
Group has met its GBP23 billion 2011 term funding issuance
target, and has increased its liquidity portfolio to GBP170
billion.
-- Capital - Core Tier 1 ratio has improved further to 11.3%,
with gross risk-weighted assets (RWAs) down by GBP17 billion
in the quarter. The implementation of CRD 3 and Basel III is
now expected to result in uplifts to RWAs some GBP20 billion
lower than previous estimates, due to mitigation, restructuring
and continuing risk reduction in both GBM and Non-Core. Tangible
equity increased by over GBP2 billion to GBP58 billion and
TNAV increased by 2.3p to 52.6p, primarily as a result of FVOD.

Today was perfect timing, for the moment those that feel stuck are going to make the mistake of selling out but I am so convinced that in a week or so it is going to take off like a rocket, well above 1p :)

I am just staying off the bb for today as let people do as they feel on the day 1.

I am very confident that this time the bod are sitting on a few solid news and they will let it flow and make sure the share price iswell over 1p to start with.

I do expect some II holding RNS starting to flow and that will just make it go crazy!

[k3nw00d] 03/11/2011 08:32

2nd on %Rise and 2nd on Volume ;-)
