GROUP REPORTING CHANGES

HSBC has today published details of the previously announced changes to its segmental reporting, which are effective from 1 January 2025.

In advance of the publication of HSBC Holdings plc's 1Q 2025 Earnings Release, the attached data pack presents the impact on the previously reported financial information of HSBC Holdings plc and its consolidated subsidiary undertakings (the 'Group') for each quarter in the years 2023 and 2024, and the full years 2023 and 2024, of the organisational changes outlined in the announcement on 22 October 2024, the details of which are set out on page 103 of the HSBC Holdings plc Annual Report and Accounts 2024.

Effective from 1 January 2025, the Group's reporting segments under IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' comprise four businesses along with Corporate Centre:

· Hong Kong;

· UK;

· Corporate and Institutional Banking ('CIB'); and

· International Wealth and Premier Banking ('IWPB').

These replace our previously reported operating segments up to 31 December 2024.

The Hong Kong business comprises Personal Banking and Commercial Banking of HSBC Hong Kong and Hang Seng Bank.

The UK business comprises UK Personal Banking (including first direct and M&S Bank) and UK Commercial Banking including HSBC Innovation Bank.

CIB is formed from the integration of our Commercial Banking business (outside the UK and Hong Kong) with our Global Banking and Markets business.

IWPB comprises Premier banking outside of Hong Kong and the UK, our Global Private Bank, and our wealth manufacturing businesses of Asset Management and Insurance.

The data pack provides a re-presented view, for illustrative purposes only, of selected financial information for the four businesses and Corporate Centre for (i) all quarters in 2023 and 2024, and (ii) the full years 2023 and 2024, to align with the Group's operating segments effective from 1 January 2025. This re-presentation has no impact on and does not change the consolidated financial results or financial position of the Group. No additional adjustments have been made to this information other than to reflect the presentation of the Group's new operating segments and all data presented is unaudited.

The Group's reported results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs'), as detailed in the HSBC Holdings plc Annual Report and Accounts 2024. To measure performance, the Group also uses non-GAAP financial measures, including those derived from reported results that eliminate foreign currency translation differences between periods.

Constant currency performance is computed by adjusting comparative period reported results for the effects of foreign currency translation differences, which distort period-on-period comparisons.

The Group considers that constant currency performance provides useful information for investors by aligning internal and external reporting, and reflects how management assesses period-on-period performance.
