LBG answer to my email LTI!!!27 Nov 2024 07:50
Dear Seany123
Thank you for your email. We are sorry to note your disappointment with the Groupβs performance.
The Board recognises the importance of returns for our shareholders both through share price appreciation and capital returns. This year we have issued an interim dividend that is 15% higher YoY at 1.06 pence per share and completed a Β£2bn buyback. Our robust capital generation of 132 basis points in the first nine months of the year has underpinned this approach, allowing us to return substantial value to our shareholders. In addition, the tangible net assets per share stood at 52.5 pence, reflecting the positive impact of our share buybacks. These results underscore the effectiveness of our capital distributions in enhancing shareholder value while maintaining a strong capital position. It is also worth saying that Lloydsβ share price is up 12% YTD, whilst that may be lower than hoped given Motor Finance concerns it still demonstrates the underlying value of the Group.
Furthermore, as stated in the 2024 Half Year Results, our focus on digital and mobile banking has resulted in over 22 million digitally active users, driving increased customer engagement and satisfaction. This digital push is expected to improve operational efficiency and attract a broader customer base, positively impacting share performance. We are also prioritising customer-centric services, launching new products like Invest Wise and Ready-Made Pensions propositions. These initiatives are designed to meet a broad range of financial needs and support customers in achieving their financial goals. This approach is likely to drive revenue growth and strengthen the Group's market position, contributing to share price appreciation.
In addition to our digital transformation and customer-centric services, we highlight further strategic initiatives to increase confidence and drive growth in the 2024 Half Year Results, including sustainability and ESG Initiatives, strategic investments, and growth in high-value areas. The full report can be found in the following link:

We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives to drive sustainable growth and long-term value for our stakeholders, and hope that this helps to clarify the Groupβs more recent performance and actions which should impact positively the share price.
Kind regards,
