NatWest Group’s operating segments are now:

 

-Retail Banking

 

-Private Banking

 

-Commercial & Institutional

 

-Central items and other

 

-Ulster Bank RoI

 

Financial information for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 and the nine quarters from Q4 2019 to Q4 2021 are re-presented in the attached financial supplement which is also available to view and download at https://investors.natwestgroup.com/.

Financial Supplement: re-presentation of operating segments

 

On 27 January 2022, NatWest Group plc ("NatWest Group") announced that a new franchise, Commercial & Institutional, would be created, bringing together the Commercial, NatWest Markets and RBSI businesses to form a single franchise, with common management and objectives, to best support our customers across the full non-personal customer lifecycle.

 

This financial supplement presents the impact of the change in operating segments on the previously reported financial information for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 and the nine quarters from Q4 2019 to Q4 2021. This document has been prepared to aid comparison of NatWest Group's forthcoming Q1 2022 results with prior periods. The re-presentation of operating segments does not change the consolidated financial results of NatWest Group.

 

Other presentational changes will be made in the Q1 2022 results and are reflected in this document. These include:

 

Strategic costs are included in Other operating expenses and not reported separately.

 

From 1 January 2022, NatWest Group is subject to the requirements of the final PRA rulebook, so capital and leverage ratios are now presented on a transitional basis rather than the previous end-point basis. Comparatives have been re-presented on a transitional basis under the arrangements in place in the previous CRR.

 

Bank net interest margin (NIM) is calculated for the Go-forward group and excludes the Commercial & Institutional trading book and the liquid asset buffer (LAB).

 

Loan:deposit ratio has been re-presented to exclude reverse repos and repos.

 

Presentation of information

 

Key operating indicators

 

NatWest Group prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The results contain a number of adjusted or alternative performance measures, also known as non-GAAP or non-IFRS performance measures. These measures are adjusted for notable and other defined items which management believes are not representative of the underlying performance of the business and which distort period-on-period comparison. The non-IFRS measures provide users of the financial statements with a consistent basis for comparing business performance between financial periods and information on elements of performance that are one-off in nature. The non-IFRS measures also include metrics that are used throughout the banking industry. These non-IFRS measures are not measures within the scope of IFRS and are not a substitute for IFRS measures.  

 

The basis of preparation of these non-IFRS financial measures and performance metrics is presented in the NatWest Group plc 2021 Annual Report and Accounts.

Notes:
(1)   Based on the PRA Rulebook Instrument transitional arrangements, therefore includes the transitional relief on grandfathered capital instruments and the transitional arrangements for the capital impact of IFRS 9 expected credit loss (ECL) accounting. The impact of the IFRS 9 transitional adjustments at 31 December 2021 was £0.6 billion CET1 capital, £0.5 billion total capital and £36 million RWAs. Excluding these adjustments, the CET1 ratio would be 17.8%. The transitional relief on grandfathered instruments at 31 December 2021 was £0.9 billion. Excluding both the transitional relief on grandfathered capital instruments and the transitional arrangements for the capital impact of IFRS 9 expected credit loss (ECL) accounting, the end-point Total capital ratio would be 23.8%.
(2)   The UK leverage exposure is calculated in accordance with the Leverage Ratio (CRR) part of the PRA Rulebook and transitional Tier 1 capital is calculated in accordance with the PRA Rulebook Instrument as explained in note 1 above. Excluding the IFRS 9 transitional adjustment, the UK leverage ratio at 31 December 2021 would be 5.8%.

Notes:

(1) Ceantral items & other includes unallocated transactions, including volatile items under IFRS, items related to Alawwal bank merger (2019 only) and US RMBS related items.
(2) Annualised profit or loss for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by average tangible equity. Average tangible equity is average total equity excluding non-controlling interests less average intangible assets and average other owners’ equity.
(3) NatWest Group’s CET1 target is 13% - 14% but for the purposes of computing segmental return on equity (ROE), to better reflect the differential drivers of capital usage, segmental operating profit or loss adjusted for preference share dividends and tax, is divided by average notional tangible equity allocated at different rates of 14.5% (Retail Banking - 15% prior to Q1 2020), 12.5% (Private Banking - 13% prior to Q1 2020), 13% (Commercial & Institutional) and 15.5% (Ulster Bank RoI - 15% prior to Q1 2020), of the period average of segmental risk-weighted assets equivalents (RWAe) incorporating the effect of capital deductions.
(4) Total operating expenses less operating lease depreciation divided by total income less operating lease depreciation. (Year ended 31 December 2021 - £140 million; Q4 2021 - £34 million; Q3 2021 - £36 million; Q2 2021 - £35 million; Q1 2021 - £35 million; Year ended 31 December 2020 - £145 million; Q4 2020 - £35 million; Q3 2020 - £37 million; Q2 2020 - £37 million; Q1 2020 - £36 million; Year ended 31 December 2019 - £138 million; Q4 2019 - £35 million).
(5) Funded assets exclude derivative assets.
(6) Third party customer asset rate is calculated as annualised interest receivable on third-party loans to customers as a percentage of third-party loans to customers. This excludes assets of disposal groups, intragroup items, loans to banks and liquid asset portfolios. Third party customer funding rate reflects interest payable or receivable on third-party customer deposits, including interest bearing and non-interest bearing customer deposits. Intragroup items, bank deposits, debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities are excluded for customer funding rate calculation. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income as a percentage of the average interest-earning assets, excluding assets of disposal groups and without these remaining exclusions.

Notes:
(1) Ulster Bank RoI net lending decreased by £3.5 billion between Q2 and Q3 2021 as loans agreed to be sold to Allied Irish Banks p.l.c. as part of our phased withdrawal from the Republic of Ireland were reclassified as assets held for sale. Net lending decreased by a further £6.5 billion in Q4 2021 as loans agreed to be sold to Allied Irish Banks p.l.c. and Permanent TSB p.l.c. were reclassified as disposal assets. In earlier comparative periods, these loans were included in net loans to customers.
(2) Net customer loans held at amortised cost divided by total customer deposits.
