Inside Lloyds Banking Group PLC

Report overview

Lloyds Banking Group earned £6.66bn before tax in FY2025 — its strongest result in years — while cash fell £10bn.

£60.59bn Cash at bank vs £70.82bn FY2024
£19.42bn Turnover vs £18.00bn FY2024
£6.66bn Pre-tax profit vs £5.97bn FY2024
£47.87bn Net assets vs £45.89bn FY2024
Lloyds Banking Group posted its best pre-tax profit in recent memory: £6.66bn in FY2025, up 12% on the prior year. Turnover grew 8% to £19.42bn, and net assets crept up to £47.87bn. But two things cut against the good news. The tax charge surged 27% to £1.90bn, eating into after-tax gains and leaving profit after tax rising only 6%. And cash on the balance sheet fell sharply — down 14%, from £70.82bn to £60.59bn — even as operating cash flow swung dramatically back into positive territory, recovering from a £4.39bn outflow to a £5.70bn inflow.

The story

What happened, in chapters

The year, beat by beat — each one a signal from the filing, source cited. Open the source detail on any beat for the supporting context.

Revenue Keeps Climbing.

Turnover crossed £19bn for the first time in this filing period.

+8%
Turnover FY2024 £18.0bn FY2025 £19.4bn
The source detail

Turnover rose 8% year-on-year to £19.42bn. That top-line growth fed directly into a pre-tax profit of £6.66bn, an improvement of £690m on FY2024. The profit before tax margin expanded, suggesting the group held costs broadly in check as income grew.

Source · Profit & Loss Account, FY2024–FY2025.

Tax Takes a Bigger Bite.

The tax charge grew more than twice as fast as profit before tax.

£6.7bn Profit before tax FY2025
vs
£1.9bn Tax charge FY2025
The source detail

Profit before tax rose 12%, but the tax charge jumped 27% to £1.90bn. That asymmetry compressed the after-tax result to a 6% gain. Higher corporation tax rates and the reversal of deferred tax positions in large banking groups are the usual mechanism behind this kind of gap.

Source · Profit & Loss Account, FY2024–FY2025.

Cash Flow Reversal.

Operating cash swung from a £4.4bn outflow to a £5.7bn inflow in one year.

Operating cash flow

FY2024 -£4.4bn
FY2025 £5.7bn
The source detail

FY2024's £4.39bn operating cash outflow was the single most alarming number in last year's filing. FY2025 reversed it entirely, producing a £5.70bn inflow — a £10.09bn turnaround. Investing cash outflows deepened at the same time, widening to £10.19bn, which explains why the balance-sheet cash position still fell.

Source · Cash Flow Statement, FY2024–FY2025.

Cash Falls Despite the Turnaround.

Balance-sheet cash dropped £10.2bn even as operations turned cash-generative.

-14%
Cash on balance sheet FY2024 £70.8bn FY2025 £60.6bn
The source detail

Cash and equivalents fell from £70.82bn to £60.59bn, a 14% decline. The culprit is investing activity: £10.19bn was deployed in investments and acquisitions during FY2025, up 32% on the prior year's £7.69bn outflow. Financing outflows of £5.36bn added further pressure.

The brief

Five questions, answered

Questions answered from this company's filings, with the source for every figure.

Q1 What does the filing disclose about short-term obligations?

The group holds £60.59bn in cash on the balance sheet as at FY2025, down from £70.82bn the prior year.

Operating cash flow returned to a £5.70bn inflow after last year's £4.39bn outflow. Current liabilities are not separately broken out in the brief, but at this scale of cash holding relative to a banking group of this size, near-term liquidity is not the primary concern signalled by the filing.

Source · Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement, FY2025.

Q2 Are they actually making money, or just turning it over?

Both.

Turnover of £19.42bn translated into £6.66bn profit before tax — a pre-tax margin of roughly 34%. After a £1.90bn tax charge, profit after tax was £4.76bn. Margins held or expanded year-on-year despite the bigger tax bill. This is a genuinely profitable operating business, not a thin-margin turnover play.

Source · Profit & Loss Account, FY2024–FY2025.

Q3 Who owns and controls the business, really?

No PSC is recorded at Companies House.

For a publicly listed banking group of this size, that is standard: no single shareholder holds 25% or more. The filing does not disclose current directors.

Q4 Is the filing history clean, or are accounts late / amended?

The filing history shows no late or amended accounts.

The company has traded under three names since incorporation in 1985 — TSB Group PLC, then Lloyds TSB Group PLC from December 1995, and Lloyds Banking Group PLC from January 2009. Two post-period filings (resolutions in May 2026 and a share allotment in July 2026) are present but are routine for a listed group. The Verif-AI Compliance score is 100/100.

Source · Companies House name history; filing signals FY2026; Verif-AI filing evidence summary.

Q5 Which note disclosures merit attention?

No going-concern wording, negative equity, or unusual charges are flagged in the brief.

Net assets rose to £47.87bn. The one figure worth watching is the acceleration of investing cash outflows to £10.19bn in FY2025 (up 32%), which is absorbing the group's cash generation. The Verif-AI Operational and source confidence are both 70/100, reflecting that some operational detail is not captured in this holding-company filing.

What the filings can't tell you

We surface gaps plainly rather than guess. Use the chapters and tabs below to dig into what is on record.

Data quality note

No operating profit line was supplied in the headline figures, limiting direct margin calculation; all profitability analysis relies on underlying and statutory profit figures from source findings.

Who owns and controls the business, really?

No PSC is recorded at Companies House. For a publicly listed banking group of this size, that is standard: no single shareholder holds 25% or more. The filing does not disclose current directors.

Filing context

What the numbers, the board, and the ownership say

Filed figures, board records and ownership information in one view.

Balance sheet

Net assets grew from £45.9bn to £47.9bn (+4.3%) — the group's equity base is building steadily. Cash remains very large at £60.6bn despite the 14.4% decline, and 14.2% of total assets are in intangible or lease-backed form, which is within normal range for a major UK bank.

Open filed source ↗
Board

Lloyds Banking Group plc is a listed public company — board composition is publicly disclosed via annual reports and the FCA's corporate governance requirements. As a systemically important bank, Lloyds is subject to PRA/FCA senior manager oversight under SMCR, adding a regulatory layer of director accountability not visible in standard Companies House filings.

Open filed source ↗
Ownership

No single controlling shareholder — institutional ownership typical of a major FTSE 100 listed plc, with shareholders spread across UK and international funds. The UK Government, which once held a large stake following the 2009 bailout, fully exited its position in May 2017 — Lloyds is now entirely privately held by institutional and retail investors.

Revenue Keeps Climbing.

Turnover crossed £19bn for the first time in this filing period.

+8%
Turnover FY2024 £18.0bn FY2025 £19.4bn
The source detail

Turnover rose 8% year-on-year to £19.42bn. That top-line growth fed directly into a pre-tax profit of £6.66bn, an improvement of £690m on FY2024. The profit before tax margin expanded, suggesting the group held costs broadly in check as income grew.

Source · Profit & Loss Account, FY2024–FY2025.

Tax Takes a Bigger Bite.

The tax charge grew more than twice as fast as profit before tax.

£6.7bn Profit before tax FY2025
vs
£1.9bn Tax charge FY2025
The source detail

Profit before tax rose 12%, but the tax charge jumped 27% to £1.90bn. That asymmetry compressed the after-tax result to a 6% gain. Higher corporation tax rates and the reversal of deferred tax positions in large banking groups are the usual mechanism behind this kind of gap.

Source · Profit & Loss Account, FY2024–FY2025.

Cash Flow Reversal.

Operating cash swung from a £4.4bn outflow to a £5.7bn inflow in one year.

Operating cash flow

FY2024 -£4.4bn
FY2025 £5.7bn
The source detail

FY2024's £4.39bn operating cash outflow was the single most alarming number in last year's filing. FY2025 reversed it entirely, producing a £5.70bn inflow — a £10.09bn turnaround. Investing cash outflows deepened at the same time, widening to £10.19bn, which explains why the balance-sheet cash position still fell.

Source · Cash Flow Statement, FY2024–FY2025.

Cash Falls Despite the Turnaround.

Balance-sheet cash dropped £10.2bn even as operations turned cash-generative.

-14%
Cash on balance sheet FY2024 £70.8bn FY2025 £60.6bn
The source detail

Cash and equivalents fell from £70.82bn to £60.59bn, a 14% decline. The culprit is investing activity: £10.19bn was deployed in investments and acquisitions during FY2025, up 32% on the prior year's £7.69bn outflow. Financing outflows of £5.36bn added further pressure.

Cross-chapter connections

Linked facts across the filing

Pairs of filed facts that refer to the same movement, balance or disclosure, shown together with their chapter references.

The £10.19bn investing outflow in [chapter 4] is the direct reason balance-sheet cash fell 14% despite the strong operating cash recovery shown in [chapter 3].

The 27% tax surge in [chapter 2] means after-tax profit grew at less than half the rate of pre-tax profit — a divergence that will not be visible to anyone who only looks at the turnover headline in [chapter 1].

Additional filed details

Details from the filing

Selected details from the retained filing data, shown alongside the source-linked summary.

01

FY2022 and FY2023 turnover not disclosed in Companies House filing

Consistent with a holding-company filing that does not always carry a full consolidated P&L every year. The FY2021 revenue of £37.4bn is also more than double the FY2025 figure of £19.4bn, which likely reflects a change in how group revenues are consolidated or reported at the holding-company level — not a genuine halving of the bank's income.

Open filed source ↗
02

Liabilities exceed £834bn — typical for a major deposit-taking bank

This is consistent with how all large retail banks present their balance sheets. Customer deposits sit as liabilities — the money customers put in the bank is money the bank owes back to those customers. This is not financial distress; it is the fundamental architecture of banking. The relevant measure of safety is the capital ratio, not the raw liability total.

Open filed source ↗
03

PAT exceeds PBT in FY2020

Consistent with a deferred tax credit being recognised in that year — a common outcome after a period of large loan-loss provisions when the bank books a future tax benefit. This is an accounting mechanism, not an error, and is typical for large banks coming through a credit stress cycle.

Evidence behind the summary

01

FY2022 and FY2023 turnover not disclosed in Companies House filing

Consistent with a holding-company filing that does not always carry a full consolidated P&L every year. The FY2021 revenue of £37.4bn is also more than double the FY2025 figure of £19.4bn, which likely reflects a change in how group revenues are consolidated or reported at the holding-company level — not a genuine halving of the bank's income.

02

Liabilities exceed £834bn — typical for a major deposit-taking bank

This is consistent with how all large retail banks present their balance sheets. Customer deposits sit as liabilities — the money customers put in the bank is money the bank owes back to those customers. This is not financial distress; it is the fundamental architecture of banking. The relevant measure of safety is the capital ratio, not the raw liability total.

03

Consistent with a deferred tax credit being recognised in that year — a common outcome after a period of large loan-loss provisions when the bank books a future tax benefit. This is an accounting mechanism, not an error, and is typical for large banks coming through a credit stress cycle.

04

Reported filing figure

£1.20 of operating cash flow for every £1 of reported profit. Both filing measures are shown for review.

05

Reported filing figure

The filing records an unqualified Deloitte LLP opinion.

06

Other filed item

Return on equity stays at 12.9% but underlying rate is 14.8%. A RoTE above 12% shows the bank is generating solid returns for shareholders, and the underlying rate of 14.8% suggests the business is on track to hit its own 2026 goal once the motor finance one-off is stripped out.

07

Other filed item

Net income up 7% to £18.3bn — revenue growth is accelerating. Growing revenue at 7% while managing costs means the bank is becoming more efficient, which is a good sign for future profit margins.

Plain-English glossary · 8 terms
Profit Before Tax (PBT)
What the company earned after all its running costs, but before paying the government its share.
In this filing: Lloyds made £6.66bn PBT in FY2025 — up 11.6% from £5.97bn the year before.
Net Assets
What's left over if you sold everything the company owns and paid off everything it owes. It's the 'book value' of the business.
In this filing: Lloyds' net assets grew from £45.9bn to £47.9bn — the business is worth more on paper than it was a year ago.
Cash Conversion
How much of the reported profit actually turned into real cash in the bank. 100% means every pound of profit became a pound of cash.
In this filing: At 119.8%, Lloyds converts more cash than it reports as profit — a sign that earnings are genuine and not inflated by accounting entries.
Turnover (Revenue)
The total money the company brought in before any costs are taken out.
In this filing: Lloyds' revenue rose 7.9% to £19.4bn in FY2025, showing the business is growing its income.
Current Liabilities
Bills and debts the company must pay within the next 12 months.
In this filing: Lloyds' current liabilities sit above £834bn — typical for a major bank, which holds enormous customer deposits as liabilities on its balance sheet.
Asset Fragility
The share of a company's assets that are hard to sell or recover if the business got into trouble — things like brand value, goodwill, or long lease commitments.
In this filing: 14.2% of Lloyds' total assets fall into this category, which is a moderate and manageable level for a bank of this size.
SIC Code
A standard industry classification number that tells you what type of business a company is. SIC 64205 means 'Activities of financial holding companies'.
In this filing: This entity is the holding company sitting above the Lloyds banking brands — the legal top of the group structure.
Shareholders Funds (Equity)
The total amount that belongs to the owners of the company — what they'd get if all assets were sold and all debts paid.
In this filing: Lloyds' shareholders funds (net assets) stood at £47.9bn in FY2025, up from £45.9bn — the equity cushion is growing.
