Appendix
Constant currency basis:
2Q23 constant currency costs of $7.9bn, up 1%
vs. 2022. Lower notable items and impairment write-
backs were offset by higher technology spending,
higher performance-related pay accrual and
severance costs
Target basis:
Continue to target c.3% cost growth in FY231.
Reconciliation on slide 26. On this basis:
2023 costs up 6% vs. 2022, of which the
severance costs flagged at 4Q22 accounted for
2.8ppts
YTD costs up 4% vs. 1H22, of which severance
costs accounted for 1.4ppts
Expect the acquisition of SVB UK and related
international investments to increase costs by an
additional 1%
