| Segmental analysis | 5Segmental analysis The Group Operating Committee is considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) for the purposes of identifying the Group‘s reportable segments. Business segments results are assessed by the CODM on the basis of constant currency performance that removes the effects of currency translation from reported results. Therefore, we disclose these results on a constant currency basis as required by IFRS Accounting Standards. The income statement for the half-year to 30 June 2025 is converted at the average rate of exchange for 2026, and the balance sheets at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2025 at the prevailing rates of exchange on 30 June 2026. Our operations are closely integrated and, accordingly, the presentation of data includes internal allocations of certain items of income and expense. These allocations include the costs of certain support services and global infrastructures to the extent that they can be meaningfully attributed to business segments. While such allocations have been made on a systematic and consistent basis, they necessarily involve a degree of subjectivity. Costs that are not allocated to business segments are included in Corporate Centre. Where relevant, income and expense amounts presented include the results of inter-segment funding along with inter-company and inter-business line transactions. All such transactions are undertaken on arm’s length terms. Measurement of segmental assets, liabilities, income and expenses is in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Shared costs are included in segments on the basis of actual recharges. The intra-Group elimination items for the business segments are presented in Corporate Centre. Our business segments The Group’s reportable segments under IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ comprise the following four businesses along with Corporate Centre: –Hong Kong: The Hong Kong business comprises Retail Banking and Wealth and Commercial Banking of HSBC Hong Kong and Hang Seng Bank. –UK: The UK business comprises UK Retail Banking and Wealth (including first direct and M&S Bank) and UK Commercial Banking including HSBC Innovation Bank. –Corporate and Institutional Banking (‘CIB’): CIB is formed from the integration of our Commercial Banking business (outside the UK and Hong Kong) with our Global Banking and Markets business. –International Wealth and Premier Banking (‘IWPB’): IWPB comprises Premier banking outside of Hong Kong and the UK, our Private Bank, and our wealth manufacturing businesses of Asset Management and Insurance. Effective 1 January 2026, we transferred certain clients, primarily in Hong Kong and the UK, to the CIB segment to better meet their needs. This transfer does not change the Group’s reportable segments. Comparative periods have been re-presented accordingly. The re-presentation has no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial results or financial position.
1Net interest expense recognised in Corporate Centre includes 1H26: $4.8bn (1H25: $4.7bn) of interest expense in relation to the internal cost to fund trading and fair value net assets; and the funding cost of foreign exchange swaps in our Markets Treasury function. 2The amount in 1H25 includes a loss of $1.1bn inclusive of reserves recycling as a result of the dilution of our shareholding in BoCom. We also recognised a $1.0bn impairment loss following an impairment test on the carrying value of the Group’s investment in BoCom in ‘Share of profit in associates and joint ventures less impairment’. Reported external net operating income is attributed to countries and territories on the basis of the location of the branch responsible for reporting the results or advancing the funds:

1The amount in 1H26 includes $0.2bn from the recycling of foreign currency translation reserve losses arising on completion of the sale of our UK life insurance business, HSBC Life (UK) Limited, and $0.3bn of disposal losses recognised upon the ‘held for sale‘ classification of HSBC Continental Europe’s shareholding in HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. 1H25 includes $0.1bn fair value losses on ADRs in Galicia received as a part of the sale consideration for HSBC Argentina, which were sold in 2Q25. 2The amount in 1H25 includes a loss of $1.1bn inclusive of reserves recycling as a result of the dilution of our shareholding in BoCom. We also recognised a $1.0bn impairment loss following an impairment test on the carrying value of the Group’s investment in BoCom in ‘Impairment loss of interest in BoCom associate’. 3Amounts relate to organisational simplification provisions recognised in 2026 and 2025.
