Introduction
Presentation of information
Financial information contained in this document does not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of
the Companies Act 2006 ('the Act'). The statutory accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2014 have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The report of the auditor on those statutory accounts
was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or
(3) of the Act.
In this document, 'RBSG plc' or the 'company' refers to The
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, and 'RBS' or the 'Group' refers
to RBSG plc and its subsidiaries. Some of the financial information
contained in this document, prepared using Group accounting
policies, shows the operating performance of RBS on a non-statutory
basis which excludes own credit adjustments, gain on redemption of
own debt, write down of goodwill and strategic disposals. RFS
Holdings minority interest (RFS MI) was also excluded in the
periods ended 30 September 2014. Such information is provided to
give a better understanding of the results of RBS's operations.
RBS is committed to becoming a leaner, less volatile business
based around its core franchises of Personal & Business Banking
(PBB) and Commercial & Private Banking (CPB). To achieve this
goal a number of initiatives have been announced which include, but
are not limited to, the restructuring of Corporate &
Institutional Banking (CIB) into CIB Go-forward and CIB Capital
Resolution, the divestment of the remaining stake in Citizens, the
sale of the international private banking business (the remaining
Private Banking UK business is within the Go-forward Bank (Private
Banking Go-forward)), the exit of Williams & Glyn (mainly
within UK Personal & Business Banking (UK PBB)) and the
continued run down of RBS Capital Resolution (RCR). Significant
progress towards these exits is expected by the end of 2015. This
document contains some information to illustrate the impact on
certain key performance measures of these initiatives by showing
the future profile of the bank (the 'Go-forward Bank') and the
segments, businesses and portfolios which it intends to exit (the
'Exit Bank'). This information is presented to illustrate the
strategy and its impact on the business and is on a non-statutory
basis and should be read in conjunction with the notes attached as
well as the section titled Forward-looking statements. Other than
the change in treatment of Citizens described on page 2 there has
been no change to the reportable segments in the period as a result
of these initiatives.
Introduction
Citizens
On 31 December 2014 Citizens was classified as a disposal group
and a discontinued operation: its aggregate assets were presented
in Assets of disposal groups and its aggregate liabilities in
Liabilities of disposal groups. Prior period results were
re-presented.
From 3 August 2015, when RBS's interest fell to 20.9%, Citizens
has been accounted for as an associate classified as held for sale.
Citizens Financial Group is no longer a reportable segment; the
non-statutory operating results and operating segment disclosures
for all periods have been restated accordingly.
Statutory results
The condensed consolidated income statement, condensed
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed
consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement of
changes in equity and related Notes presented on pages 26 to 35
inclusive are on a statutory basis. Reconciliations between income
statement lines on a non-statutory basis and a statutory basis are
included in Appendix 3.

Highlights
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) continues to deliver on
its plan to build a stronger, simpler and fairer bank for both
customers and shareholders; on track for 2015 targets.
-- Q3 attributable profit was GBP952 million, up slightly from
GBP896 million in Q3 2014. Restructuring costs remained high
at GBP847 million as the Go-forward Bank transforms, while litigation
and conduct costs were GBP129 million compared with GBP780 million
in Q3 2014.
-- Attributable profit included (in profit from discontinued operations)
the gain on loss of control of Citizens (GBP1,147 million).
The principal component of this gain was a reclassification
of foreign exchange reserves of GBP962 million to profit or
loss with no effect on RBS's net asset value.
-- Q3 operating loss(1) was GBP134 million, down from a profit
of GBP1,107 million in Q3 2014. Adjusted operating profit(2)
was GBP842 million (Q3 2014 - GBP2,054 million), after GBP126
million of losses relating to IFRS volatility, and GBP77 million
of CIB disposal losses.
-- Income was GBP596 million lower than in Q3 2014, principally
driven by a GBP394 million decline in Corporate & Institutional
Banking (CIB), reflecting its planned reshaping. Income pressures
were also seen in UK Personal & Business Banking (UK PBB)
and Commercial Banking where good loan volume growth was offset
by continued competitive pressure on asset margins.
-- Operating expenses, excluding restructuring costs and litigation
and conduct costs, were GBP152 million lower, with headcount
down and restructuring benefits feeding through to a lower
cost base.
-- Credit quality remained good, with net impairment releases
of GBP79 million, GBP768 million lower than the high levels
of releases recorded in Q3 2014.
-- Tangible net asset value per ordinary and equivalent B share
increased from 380p per share at 30 June 2015 to 384p per share
at 30 September 2015. This was largely driven by the attributable
profit for the period (less the impact of reclassified reserves),
together with underlying gains in foreign exchange reserves
reflecting the strengthening of the US dollar and the euro,
and gains in cash flow hedging reserves as swap rates decreased.
Good progress on 2015 targets
-- RBS remains well on track to achieve substantially all its priority
targets for 2015. The cost savings target for the year has already
been exceeded and strong improvements were recorded in the bank's
annual employee engagement survey.

Highlights
Building a stronger RBS
-- RBS is on track with its plan to build a stronger, simpler,
fairer bank for customers and shareholders.
-- Capital strength continued to build with the Common Equity Tier
1 ratio strengthening to 12.7% at 30 September 2015, up 40 basis
points from 30 June 2015 and 150 basis points from 31 December
2014. RBS's leverage ratio rose from 4.6% at 30 June 2015 to
5.0% at 30 September 2015, assisted by the successful issue
of US$3.15 billion (GBP2 billion) of Additional Tier 1 capital
notes in August 2015.
-- We continue to develop our technology capabilities to make it
simpler for us to serve our customers and for them to do business
with us. A new automated account-opening system is being rolled
out and will increase the efficiency of our onboarding processes,
reducing end-to-end account opening times by 50% for business
banking customers and 30% for Commercial Banking customers.
Our Pay on Your Mobile (PAYM) capability has been enhanced,
with customers now able to both send and receive payments. We
continue to simplify our core technology platforms with 245
applications decommissioned year-to-date.
-- We are seeking to build customer engagement with a market-leading
current account that enables customers to receive 3% cash back
on their household bills for a monthly account fee of GBP3.
The initial launch of the Reward account to existing private
and packaged account holders has attracted around one million
customers with the majority of these moving additional direct
debits to their RBS and NatWest accounts. We are also extending
our stand against teaser rates by offering three year fixed
rates on home insurance, breaking with insurance industry practice.
-- RBS delivered good support for both household and business customers.
UK PBB net mortgage lending totalled GBP3.8 billion in Q3 2015,
with a strong applications pipeline and gross lending up 42%
from Q3 2014 to GBP7.4 billion. Our flow market share in Q3
2015 was 12.1% of the UK market, compared with RBS's stock share
of 8.5%. Net new lending in Commercial Banking totalled GBP1.5
billion in the quarter with growth across most of the customer
segments. Further support was provided to small businesses with
the opening of three new business accelerator hubs in Brighton,
Leeds and Bristol in partnership with Entrepreneurial Spark:
seven hubs are now open.
-- Adjusted return on equity(4) in the Go-forward Bank on an annualised
basis for the first nine months of 2015 is estimated at 13%.
IFRS volatility had a minimal impact on the adjusted return
on equity during the first nine months of 2015.
Notes:
(1) Operating profit/(loss) before tax, own credit adjustments,
gain on redemption of own debt and strategic disposals. The
nine months and quarter ended 30 September 2014 are stated before
RFS minority interest.
(2) Excluding restructuring costs and litigation and conduct costs.
(3) Excluding restructuring costs and litigation and conduct costs,
write off of intangible assets and operating expenses of Williams
& Glyn.
(4) Calculated using operating profit after tax on a non-statutory

costs adjusted for preference share dividends divided by average
notional equity (based on 13% of average RWA equivalent (RWAe)).
Highlights
Accelerated run-down of the Exit Bank
-- RBS has maintained good momentum in the run-down of its Exit
Bank, with RWAs down by approximately GBP31 billion since the
start of 2015 to GBP141 billion at 30 September 2015.
-- RBS Capital Resolution (RCR) funded assets have fallen to GBP6.5
billion at 30 September 2015, down 83% since the initial pool
of assets was identified. This leaves it on track to achieve
its targeted 85% reduction in funded assets by the end of 2015,
a year ahead of schedule. Good progress was also recorded in
CIB Capital Resolution where RWAs were reduced by GBP6.7 billion
to GBP38.7 billion in Q3 2015 with the reduction since the start
of 2015 totalling GBP25.4 billion.
-- The sale of a further 109 million shares in August 2015 reduced
RBS's stake in Citizens to 20.9%. Following this significant
reduction in its voting interest RBS no longer controls Citizens
for accounting purposes and ceased to consolidate it, classifying
its remaining investment as an associate held for sale. Citizens
remains fully consolidated for regulatory capital purposes.
RBS continues to target a complete exit by the end of 2015,
subject to market conditions.
-- On a pro forma basis, assuming full deconsolidation of Citizens
credit and counterparty risk RWAs at 30 September 2015, RBS's
CET1 ratio would have been 16.2% and its leverage ratio 5.6%.
-- Williams & Glyn submitted its banking licence application to
the UK regulatory authorities in October 2015. RBS continues
to work towards its separation in the summer of 2016 and an
initial public offering by the end of 2016.
UK Government ownership
-- On 4 August 2015, HM Treasury sold 630 million RBS ordinary
shares, its first sale since its initial investment in 2008.
The sale of the 5.4% stake reduced HM Treasury's economic interest
in RBS to 72.9%.
-- On 8 October 2015, HM Treasury gave notice of its intention
to convert 51 billion B shares it held into 5.1 billion ordinary
shares, a move that helps normalise the ownership structure
of RBS. These new ordinary shares have now been admitted to
the London Stock Exchange. HM Treasury's economic interest in
RBS remains unchanged at 72.9%. The Dividend Access Share (DAS)
remains outstanding and may be retired at any time following
the payment of dividends amounting to GBP1,180 million (with
interest starting to accrue on this amount from 1 January 2016).
Highlights
Customer
RBS remains committed to achieving its target of being number
one bank for customer service, trust and advocacy by 2020. In
recent years, RBS has launched a number of initiatives to make it
simpler, fairer and easier to do business with, and it continues to
deliver on the commitments that it made to its customers in
2014.
We use independent surveys to measure our customers' experience
and track our progress against our goal in each of our markets.
Net promoter score (NPS)
Customers are asked how likely they would be to recommend their
bank to a friend or colleague, and respond based on a 0-10 scale
with 10 indicating 'extremely likely' and 0 indicating 'not at all
likely'. Customers scoring 0 to 6 are termed detractors and
customers scoring 9 to 10 are termed promoters. NPS is established
by subtracting the proportion of detractors from the proportion of
promoters.
The table below lists all of the businesses for which we have a
NPS for Q3 2015. Year-on-year, NatWest Business Banking, RBS
Business Banking and Ulster Bank (Northern Ireland) Personal
Banking have seen significant improvements in NPS.

We also use independent experts to measure our customers' trust
in the bank. Each quarter we ask customers to what extent they
trust or distrust their bank to do the right thing. The score is a
net measure of those customers that trust their bank (a lot or
somewhat) minus those that distrust their bank (a lot or
somewhat).
Trust in the RBS brand in Q2 2015 was impacted by the IT
incident on 17 June 2015, current quarter scores return to

Highlights
Outlook
The credit environment is expected to remain relatively benign,
with modest underlying impairment charges. Competitive pressure on
asset margins is likely to continue, with limited opportunities for
offsetting deposit repricing. In addition, non-interest income from
fee-related products remains subdued due to modest volume growth,
and specific regulatory impacts such as the change in interchange
fees in the cards business.
Our estimate of overall restructuring and disposal losses
guidance for 2015 to 2019 remains unchanged. In the fourth quarter
of 2015, we expect restructuring costs to remain high as we
continue to implement our core bank transformation and disposal
losses to be elevated within the overall guidance on disposal
losses, although the timing and quantum of these losses are subject
to market conditions.
Whilst legacy issues continue to be addressed, material further
and incremental costs and provisions in respect of conduct and
litigation related matters are expected, and could be substantially
greater than the aggregate provisions RBS has recognised. The
timing and quantum of any future costs, provisions and settlements,
however, remain uncertain.

liquidity standard; UK banks are required to meet a minimum
standard of 80% initially, rising to 100% by 1 January 2018.
(6) NSFR for all periods have been calculated using RBS's current
interpretations of the revised BCBS guidance on NSFR issued
in late 2014. Therefore, reported NSFR will change over time
with regulatory developments. Due to differences in interpretation,
RBS's ratio may not be comparable with those of other financial
institutions.
(7) Tangible equity is equity attributable to ordinary and B shareholders
less intangible assets.

Notes:
(1) For the purposes of net interest margin (NIM) calculations, a decrease of
GBP12 million arising in Central items (nine months ended 30 September 2014
- GBP35 million; Q3 2015 - GBP4 million; Q2 2015 - GBP3 million; Q3 2014
- GBP7 million) was made in respect of interest on financial assets and
liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Related
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have also been
adjusted.
(2) PBB NIM Q3 2015 was 3.23% and Q2 2015 was 3.29%. CPB NIM for Q3 2015 was
2.87% and Q2 2015 was 2.92%.
Analysis of results
Key points
-- Net interest income of GBP2,187 million was down GBP183 million from Q3
2014. While there has been good volume growth in some segments during the
quarter, average interest-earnings assets remain 4% lower than Q3 2014.
Higher yielding assets such as credit card balances and personal unsecured
loans have declined in volume, reflecting RBS's positioning in these products.
Good progress in the run-down of CIB Capital Resolution assets has amplified
the bank's excess liquidity position.
-- NIM for RBS of 2.09% continues to compress modestly, down 4 basis points
from Q2 2015 and 8 basis points from Q3 2014. RBS's previously reported
NIM included Citizens, whose exclusion results in a lower bank NIM.
-- In UK PBB, NIM declined by 4 basis points during Q3 2015, principally reflecting
more competitive front book pricing in combination with increased switching
from the standard variable rate book (15% of the overall mortgage book at
30 September 2015 compared with 23% a year earlier and 18% at the end of
Q2 2015).
-- Non-interest income totalled GBP860 million, down GBP413 million from Q3
2014. This was principally driven by the planned reshaping of CIB (down
GBP306 million) and reduced trading income and disposal gains in RCR (down
GBP144 million). Equity gains were also lower in Commercial Banking, which
had recorded significant disposal gains in previous quarters. Interchange
fee income in UK PBB remains under pressure.
-- Compared with Q2 2015, non-interest income was GBP494 million lower. This
included a movement of GBP331 million in volatile items under IFRS, which
represented a charge of GBP126 million in the quarter compared with a credit
of GBP205 million in Q2 2015.

Key points
-- Staff costs totalled GBP1,265 million, down GBP91 million or 7%, compared
with Q3 2014, principally driven by declining headcount. Premises and equipment
expenses were down GBP71 million from Q3 2014 as RBS's property portfolio
is managed down.
-- Adjusted operating expenses in the nine months ended 30 September 2015 totalled
GBP6,783 million, down GBP985 million or 13%, compared with the same period
of 2014. RBS expects to exceed GBP900 million of cost savings for the full
year. However, Q4 2015 will include the annual bank levy charge; in addition,
GBP190 million of accrual reversals were recorded in Q4 2014.
-- Restructuring costs totalled GBP847 million for Q3 2015, principally relating
to CIB (GBP637 million, including GBP276 million of property related charges)
and to Williams & Glyn separation (GBP190 million). Restructuring costs
in the first nine months of 2015 were GBP2.3 billion, approaching half of
the expected c.GBP5 billion of total restructuring costs from 2015 to 2019.
-- Litigation and conduct costs of GBP129 million were lower than recorded
in recent quarters and related principally to a charge in CIB in relation
to certain mortgage-backed securities litigation.

in REIL, principally driven by RCR disposals.

Notes:
(1) Prior period data excludes Citizens for comparative purposes: Citizens totals
for natural resources and shipping were 30 June 2015 - TCE GBP4.4 billion,
EAD GBP3.6 billion; 31 December 2014 - TCE GBP4.2 billion, EAD GBP3.4 billion.
(2) Credit risk assets (CRA) consist of lending gross of impairment provisions,
derivative exposures after netting and contingent obligations. Total committed
exposure (TCE) comprises CRA, securities financing transactions after netting,
banking book debt securities and committed undrawn facilities. Exposure
at default (EAD) is gross of credit provisions and is after credit risk
mitigation. EAD reflects an estimate of the extent to which a bank will
be exposed under a specific facility on the default of a customer or counterparty.
Uncommitted undrawn facilities are excluded from TCE but included within
EAD; therefore EAD can exceed TCE.
(3) Commodity traders represents customers in a number of industry sectors,
predominately natural resources above.
Key points
-- Oil and gas: total exposure has more than halved during 2015 and decreased
significantly during Q3 2015. This primarily reflected continued loan sales
and run-off across the CIB portfolio in Asia-Pacific and the US.
-- Mining and metals: the reduction in exposure during 2015 reflected proactive
management of more vulnerable sub-sectors. The majority of the exposure
is to large international customers and matures within five years.
-- Commodity traders: total exposure has more than halved during 2015 and is
primarily to the largest physical commodity traders, the exposure is predominantly
short-dated, collateralised and uncommitted facilities used for working
capital.
-- Shipping: exposure is in CIB Capital Resolution and RCR. The decrease in
exposure in Q3 2015 principally reflected sales in RCR.

Note:

for detailed definitions.
Key point
-- Exposure to most emerging markets decreased in 2015 as RBS continues to
implement its strategy to withdraw from non-strategic countries. The drop
in Chinese exposure in Q3 2015 reflected corporate loan sales and reductions
in cash collateral due to reduced volumes of foreign exchange trading. Total
exposure to Russia has halved during 2015 and the reduction in Q3 2015 was
mostly due to corporate loan sales.

-- RBS's CET1 ratio strengthened to 12.7% at 30 September 2015, up 40 basis
points from 30 June 2015 and 150 basis points since the start of the year.
The increase was principally driven by a further reduction in RWAs, which
fell by GBP10.4 billion during Q3 2015. Excluding the impact of movements
in both US dollar and euro exchange rates, the RWA reduction would have
been GBP14.9 billion.
-- CIB Capital Resolution RWAs decreased by GBP6.7 billion from 30 June 2015
due to portfolio reduction of GBP7 billion, including further sale to Mizuho
of GBP1.3 billion and ongoing GTS exit activity of GBP1.5 billion, partly
offset by foreign exchange movements as sterling weakened against the dollar.
-- CIB Go-forward RWAs decreased by GBP3.3 billion from 30 June 2015 principally
due to a decrease of GBP2.2 billion in market risk RWAs.
-- RCR RWAs reduced by GBP2.0 billion from 30 June 2015 reflecting ongoing
disposal and run-off strategy.
-- The leverage ratio improved to 5.0% at 30 September 2015, up 40 basis points
from 30 June 2015, assisted by the successful issue of US$3.15 billion (GBP2
billion) Additional Tier 1 capital notes in August 2015 and reduced leverage
exposure driven by lower reverse repos and undrawn commitments.
-- On a pro-forma basis, assuming full deconsolidation of Citizens credit and
counterparty risk RWAs at 30 September 2015, RBS's CET1 ratio would have
been 16.2% and its leverage ratio 5.6%.

Segment performance
Key points
UK Personal & Business Banking
-- UK PBB operating profit of GBP638 million was up 28% from Q3 2014. Return
on equity in the quarter was 32%, compared with 23% in the prior year principally
due to lower litigation and conduct costs.
-- Mortgage activity strengthened further in Q3, with applications up 66% from
GBP6.2 billion in Q3 2014 to GBP10.2 billion and new business market share
of approvals increasing to 15%. Total loans and advances increased by GBP3.8
billion during the quarter, with total mortgage balances at 30 September
2015 up 6% compared with Q3 2014.
-- In Q3 our existing private and packaged current account customers were invited
to receive 3% cash back on their household direct debits, for free, until
the end of the year in advance of the launch of our new current account
range. Around one million customers are now enrolled in this free offer.
Those on the free offer can opt into the paid-for new product at the turn
of the year. The fee for this product will be GBP3 per account per month.
The new Reward current accounts launched on 12 October 2015 to non-packaged
and new customers.
-- Income trends were slightly weaker. Net interest margin was 4 basis points
lower than Q2 2015 and 18 basis points lower than in Q3 2014, largely driven
by the significantly increased proportion of lower margin secured lending
in the portfolio mix. New business mortgage margins have fallen as a result
of increasingly competitive pricing. Standard variable rate balances continued
to transfer to lower rate products and represented 15% of the mortgage book
at 30 September 2015 compared with 23% a year earlier. Non-interest income
was lower, reflecting reduced interchange fees on credit and debit cards,
reduced advisory income and the non-repeat of a GBP7 million profit on the
sale of NatWest Stockbrokers in Q3 2014.
-- Operating expenses were down 16% from Q3 2014, with minimal net conduct
expenses in the quarter. Staff costs were 1% lower, with headcount down
2%. The cost:income ratio was 56% compared with 63% in Q3 2014.
-- Credit conditions remained stable, with the charge from bad debt flows down
26% from Q3 2014. The net impairment charge of GBP11 million continued to
benefit from provision releases, though at lower levels than seen in the
first half of the year.

Ulster Bank
-- Improving economic conditions across the island of Ireland have contributed
to stronger new business volumes, particularly in the corporate and personal
mortgage segments. However, this has been offset by continued customer deleveraging
and the sale of a portfolio of buy-to-let mortgages. Balances also reflect
the weakening of the euro over the last year. Excluding the impact of euro
exchange rate movements, net loans and advances were down GBP0.2 billion
from Q2 2015. The low yielding tracker mortgage book reduced by GBP0.3 billion
to GBP9.4 billion with associated RWAs of GBP8.1 billion.
-- Operating profit of GBP114 million was down 70% from Q3 2014, which benefited
from materially larger net impairment provision releases.
-- The Q3 2015 results included a GBP23 million profit on the sale of the buy-to-let
mortgage portfolio, as well as a GBP24 million gain realised on the closure
of a foreign exchange exposure. Return on equity was 14%.
-- Income was flat against Q3 2014 as the income benefits from these one-off
items were offset by exchange rate movements and a lower return on free
funds. While deposit margins have improved steadily from Q3 2014, new business
lending margins have begun to tighten across the market.
-- Operating expenses have increased by GBP8 million from Q3 2014 with headcount
reductions partly offsetting the impact of higher pension costs and regulatory
levies. The cost:income ratio was 74%, slightly higher than Q3 2014.
-- Results benefited from a further GBP58 million release of impairment provisions,
compared with GBP318 million in Q3 2014. This reflects continued positive
trends on collections and Irish property prices albeit the pace of improvement
has slowed since Q3 2014.
Segment performance
Commercial Banking
-- Commercial Banking reported an operating profit of GBP412 million, up 1%
from Q3 2014. Return on equity was stable at 12%.
-- New business volumes in Q3 were strong, with net new lending of GBP1.5 billion
during the quarter. Further enhancements to Commercial Banking's lending
capability are expected with the launch of a new lending platform in Q4
2015.
-- Comparisons with prior periods are affected by a number of internal business
transfers, including the transfer to Commercial Banking of RBS International
(RBSI) from Private Banking on 1 January 2015 and the CIB UK corporate loan
portfolio on 1 May 2015(1,3) . The transfers of the Western Europe loan
portfolio and UK Transaction Services from CIB to Commercial Banking are
on track for completion in Q4 2015.
-- Total income was 2% higher than in Q3 2014, benefiting from increased loan
and deposit volumes combined with higher deposit margins partially offset
by lower asset margins. Non-interest income was lower, principally reflecting
lower equity gains.
-- Total expenses were up 3% from Q3 2014, reflecting higher indirect costs.
Staff costs were flat, with reduced headcount offsetting normal inflation
adjustments. The cost:income ratio was stable at 49%.
-- Net impairment losses increased GBP3 million, reflecting increased individual
charges and lower net provision releases.
Private Banking
-- Operating profit of GBP15 million was down 77% from Q3 2014. Return on equity
was 2%. Coutts remains an area of management focus.
-- The disposal of Private Banking International continues to make good progress,
with the sale of the European, the Middle East and Africa business, including
Switzerland, scheduled to close in Q4 2015 and the sale of the business
in the Far East scheduled to close next year.
-- On 1 January 2015, the RBSI business in Private Banking was transferred
to Commercial Banking. This transfer affects comparisons with prior periods(2,3)
.
-- Operating performance was adversely affected by financial market conditions
and also reflected the business transfer. Adjusting for this transfer, income
was GBP31 million lower principally as a result of hedging activities and
lower investment and transactional income.
-- Total expenses were 12% lower than Q3 2014 due to the transfer of the RBSI
business. The cost:income ratio was 91% compared with 78% in Q3 2014.
-- Assets under management were down GBP1.5 billion from Q2 2015 and GBP3.3
billion from Q3 2014, principally reflecting lower stock market valuations.
Corporate & Institutional Banking
-- The reshaping of the Go-forward business is proceeding in line with plans.
Funded assets fell by GBP23 billion during the quarter, including the GBP17
billion transfer(3) of the Short Term Markets Business to Treasury. The
business remains on track to achieve the previously disclosed income target
of GBP1.3 billion in the full year.
-- Adjusted operating loss for the first nine months of 2015 for CIB was GBP445
million compared with a profit of GBP570 million for the same period in
2014 and for Q3 2015 a loss of GBP268 million compared with a profit of
GBP21 million for Q3 2014, reflecting CIB's planned reshaping as income
declined and disposal losses were incurred.
Notes:
(1) The business transfers included: total income of GBP158 million
(nine months ended 30 September 2014 - GBP153 million; Q3 2015
- GBP49 million; Q2 2015 - GBP56 million; Q3 2014 - GBP54 million);
operating expenses of GBP67 million (nine months ended 30 September
2014 - GBP87 million; Q3 2015 - GBP21 million; Q2 2015 - GBP24
million; Q3 2014 - GBP29 million); net loans and advances to
customers of GBP4.7 billion (30 June 2015 - GBP4.5 billion;
31 December 2014 - GBP4.4 billion); customer deposits of GBP6.3
billion (30 June 2015 - GBP6.4 billion; 31 December 2014 - GBP6.5
billion); and RWAs of GBP4.4 billion (30 June 2015 - GBP3.8
billion; 31 December 2014 - GBP3.5 billion).
(2) The business transfer included: total income of GBP111 million
(nine months ended 30 September 2014 - GBP109 million; Q3 2015
- GBP35 million; Q2 2015 - GBP37 million; Q3 2014 - GBP40 million);
operating expenses of GBP64 million (nine months ended 30 September
2014 - GBP80 million; Q3 2015 - GBP20 million; Q2 2015 - GBP23
million; Q3 2014 - GBP27 million); net loans and advances to
customers of GBP2.6 billion (30 June 2015 - GBP2.4 billion;
31 December 2014 - GBP2.6 billion); customer deposits of GBP6.3
billion (30 June 2015 - GBP6.4 billion; 31 December 2014 - GBP6.5
billion); and RWAs of GBP1.9 billion (30 June 2015 - GBP1.5
billion; 31 December 2014 - GBP1.4 billion).
(3) Comparatives have not been restated.
Segment performance
Corporate & Institutional Banking
-- Adjusted operating profit in the Go-forward business for the first nine
months of 2015 was GBP125 million and for Q3 2015 a loss of GBP5 million.
Adjusted profit in the Go-forward business for the first nine months of
the year, excluding the Western Europe loan portfolio and the UK Transaction
Services business that will transfer to Commercial Banking in Q4 2015, was
broadly breakeven(1) .
-- Compared with Q2 2015, Go-forward income was flat, notwithstanding the seasonal
slow-down in client activity and uncertain market conditions. Rates and
Currencies were broadly in line with Q2 with some weakness in Credit, principally
due to lower levels of primary issuance. In line with the reduction in risk
and resources allocated to CIB, Go-forward income was down 28% compared
with Q3 2014.
-- The transfer to Commercial Banking of the CIB UK corporate loan portfolio
on 1 May 2015(2) and the transfer of the Short Term Markets Business to
Treasury on 1 August 2015 affects comparisons with prior periods.
-- Adjusted expenses for CIB were down GBP113 million compared with Q3 2014
to GBP709 million with staff costs down GBP40 million from Q3 2014 reflecting
a reduction in headcount. Restructuring costs were GBP637 million, down
slightly from GBP734 million the prior quarter as the business reshapes.
-- CIB Capital Resolution made good progress in Q3 2015, with the sale of North
American portfolios to Mizuho largely complete and a further APAC portfolio
sale announced to China Construction Bank Corporation. Disposal losses for
the quarter were GBP77 million.
-- A charge of $150 million (GBP95 million) was incurred in Q3 2015 in relation
to US mortgage-backed securities litigation, but overall litigation and
conduct charges were significantly lower than in Q3 2014.
-- RWAs were reduced by GBP10 billion during Q3 2015 and have fallen by GBP29
billion since 31 December 2014 (GBP26 billion excluding the impact of the
transferred businesses following the strategic changes announced in February
2015). The business has now achieved its previously announced target of
a GBP25 billion reduction in 2015 three months ahead of schedule. In the
Go-forward business RWAs of GBP39 billion as at 30 September 2015 include
GBP8 billion that will transfer out during Q4 2015 to Commercial Banking.
The steady state RWAs of the Go-forward business are expected to be around
GBP30 billion.

October 30, 2015 03:01 ET (07:01 GMT)
RBS Capital Resolution
-- RCR funded assets have fallen to GBP6.5 billion, down 83% since the initial
pool of assets was identified. RCR is targeting an 85% reduction by the
end of 2015, a year earlier than originally planned.
-- During Q3 2015 RWA equivalents fell by GBP4.0 billion to GBP13.9 billion,
driven by disposals and repayments. Disposal activity continues across the
portfolio, with 101 deals completed during Q3 2015 at an average price of
104% of book value.
-- An operating loss of GBP16 million was recorded in Q3 2015, compared with
an operating profit of GBP638 million in Q3 2014. This reflected significantly
reduced impairment releases as well as lower realisations on disposals and
fair value gains.
-- The net effect of the operating loss of GBP16 million and RWA equivalent
reduction of GBP4.0 billion (3) was CET1 accretion of GBP0.4 billion.
Central items
-- Central items not allocated represented a charge of GBP285 million compared
with a charge of GBP326 million in Q3 2014. This includes volatile items
under IFRS, which were a charge of GBP126 million in the quarter, in line
with Q3 2014 but a movement of GBP331 million compared with Q2 2015. A GBP190
million restructuring charge was incurred relating to Williams & Glyn.
Notes:
(1) The CIB segment is being restructured into CIB Go-forward and
CIB Capital Resolution elements. The split is subject to further
refinement.
(2) The business transfer from CIB to Commercial Banking was effective
from 1 May 2015. Comparatives were not restated and for the
whole period the financials of the UK large corporate business
were: total income of GBP47 million for the nine months ended
30 September 2015 (nine months ended 30 September 2014 - GBP44
million; Q3 2015 - GBP14 million; Q2 2015 - GBP19 million; Q3
2014 - GBP14 million); operating expenses of GBP3 million for
the nine months ended 30 September 2015 (nine months ended 30
September 2014 - GBP7 million; Q3 2015 - GBP1 million; Q2 2015
- GBP1 million; Q3 2014 - GBP2 million); net loans and advances
to customers of GBP2.1 billion (30 June 2015 - GBP2.1 billion;
31 December 2014 - GBP1.8 billion); and RWAs of GBP2.5 billion
(30 June 2015 - GBP2.3 billion; 31 December 2014 - GBP2.1 billion).
(3) Capital equivalent GBP400 million at an internal CET1 ratio
of 10%.

Key points
-- The movement in available-for-sale financial assets in the nine
months ended 30 September 2015 reflects unrealised losses on
available-for-sale UK, US and Dutch securities, partially offset
by realised losses on available-for-sale bonds.
-- Cash flow hedging gains in the quarter largely result from decreases
in sterling and euro swap rates across the maturity profile
of the portfolio.
-- Currency translation losses for the nine months ended 30 September
2015 are predominantly related to the reclassification of foreign
exchange reserves on loss of control of Citizens and the strengthening
of sterling against the euro. In the quarter, the reclassification
losses were partially offset by gains from the weakening of
sterling against the euro and US dollar.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with RBS's 2014 Annual Report and Accounts which
were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations
Committee of the IASB as adopted by the European Union (EU)
(together IFRS).
Accounting policies
There have been no significant changes to RBS's principal
accounting policies as set out on pages 349 to 357 of the 2014
Annual Report and Accounts. Amendments to IFRSs effective for 2015
have not had a material effect on RBS's 2015 results.
Critical accounting policies and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
The judgements and assumptions that are considered to be the
most important to the portrayal of RBS's financial condition are
those relating to pensions, goodwill, provisions for liabilities,
deferred tax, loan impairment provisions and fair value of
financial instruments. These critical accounting policies and
judgments are described on pages 357 to 359 of RBS's 2014 Annual
Report and Accounts.
Going concern
Having reviewed RBS's forecasts, projections and other relevant
evidence, the directors have a reasonable expectation that RBS will
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the results for the period ended 30 September 2015
have been prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Citizens Financial Group
Citizens was classified as a disposal group on 31 December 2014
and its assets and liabilities from that date to 3 August 2015 have
been aggregated and presented as separate lines in accordance with
IFRS 5. Citizens was also reclassified as a discontinued operation
in 2014 and comparatives for all periods re-presented
accordingly.
In March 2015, RBS sold 155.25 million shares in Citizens and in
April 2015, Citizens purchased 10.5 million of its shares from
RBS.
In July 2015, RBS sold 86 million shares in Citizens to
underwriters and sold an additional 12.9 million shares on 3 August
2015 through an over-allotment option in the underwriting
agreement. Concurrently, Citizens repurchased 9.6 million shares
from RBS. RBS now owns 110.5 million shares - 20.9% of Citizens'
common stock.
Following these share sales, RBS no longer controls Citizens and
has ceased to consolidate it for accounting purposes. On loss of
control, RBS derecognised Citizens' net assets and recognised its
retained interest in Citizens at fair value recording a gain (in
discontinued operations) of GBP1.1 billion. Included in the gain is
the reclassification of GBP1.0 billion previously recognised in
other comprehensive income in relation to Citizens; principally
foreign exchange translation differences. RBS's retained interest
in Citizens qualifies as an associate and is classified as held for
sale. Its fair value less costs to sell at 30 September 2015 was
GBP1.6 billion.

Notes:
(1) Closing provision primarily relates to investment advice and packaged accounts.
(2) Relates to continuing operations.
There are uncertainties as to the eventual cost of redress in
relation to certain of the provisions contained in the table above.
Assumptions relating to these are inherently uncertain and the
ultimate financial impact may be different from the amount
provided. RBS will continue to monitor the position closely and
refresh the underlying assumptions.
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews
RBS's 2015 interim results issued on 30 July 2015 included
comprehensive disclosures about RBS's litigation, investigations
and reviews in Note 16. There have been no material developments in
these matters since the 2015 interim results were published other
than those set out below.
Litigation
The charge in respect of mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
related litigation was GBP0.1 billion (see Note 3) during Q3 2015,
bringing the total charge for MBS related litigation claims and
investigations for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 to
GBP0.6 billion. Although RBS has established provisions with
respect to MBS litigation, the final outcomes of such litigation
and MBS related governmental investigations could result in the
future outflow of resources in respect of such matters ultimately
proving to be substantially greater than the aggregate provisions
RBS has recognised.
Other securitisation and securities related litigation in the
United States
The National Credit Union Administration Board (NCUA) is
litigating two MBS cases against RBS companies (on behalf of US
Central Federal Credit Union and Western Corporate Federal Credit
Union). The original principal balance of the MBS at issue in these
two NCUA cases is US$3.25 billion. In September 2015, in a third
case brought by NCUA (on behalf of Southwest Corporate Federal
Credit Union and Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union),
the NCUA accepted RBS's offer of judgment for US$129.6 million,
plus attorney's fees, to resolve the matter, which concerned US$312
million in MBS. RBS has paid to the plaintiff the agreed US$129.6
million.
Notes
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews (continued)
Credit default swap antitrust litigation
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
October 30, 2015 03:01 ET (07:01 GMT)
As previously disclosed, certain members of the Group, as well
as a number of other financial institutions, are defendants in a
consolidated antitrust class action pending in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The
plaintiffs allege that defendants violated the US antitrust laws by
restraining competition in the market for credit default swaps
through various means and thereby causing inflated bid-ask spreads
for credit default swaps. The RBS defendants have reached an
agreement to settle this matter for US$33 million, subject to
approval of the court. The settlement amount is covered by an
existing provision.
FX antitrust litigation
As previously disclosed, RBS and RBS Securities Inc., as well as
a number of other financial institutions, are defendants in class
actions on behalf of US based plaintiffs that are pending in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In August 2015, the original complaint asserting antitrust claims
on behalf of plaintiffs who entered into Foreign Exchange (FX)
transactions with RBS or other defendant banks was consolidated
with several additional class action complaints filed on behalf of
plaintiffs who transacted in exchange-traded foreign exchange
futures contracts and/or options on foreign exchange futures
contracts, which asserted both antitrust and Commodities Exchange
Act claims. RBS and RBS Securities Inc. have settled all claims
that are or could be asserted on behalf of the classes in the
consolidated action, subject to approval of the Court. The total
settlement amount (US$255 million) is covered by an existing
provision. Other class action complaints purporting to be on behalf
of US-based plaintiffs who engaged in FX transactions, including a
complaint asserting Employee Retirement Income Security Act claims
on behalf of employee benefit plans that engaged in FX
transactions, name certain members of the Group as defendants.
In September 2015, certain members of the Group, as well as a
number of other financial institutions, were named as defendants in
two purported class actions filed in Ontario and Quebec on behalf
of persons in Canada who entered into foreign exchange transactions
or who invested in funds that entered into foreign exchange
transactions. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants violated
the Canadian Competition Act by conspiring to manipulate the prices
of currency trades.
Investigations and reviews
Payment Protection Insurance
As previously disclosed, RBS is monitoring developments
following the UK Supreme Court's decision in the case of Plevin v
Paragon in November 2014. That decision was that the sale of a
single premium PPI policy could create an 'unfair relationship'
under s.140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the 'Consumer Credit
Act') because the premium contained a particularly high level of
undisclosed commission. The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has
confirmed on its website that unfair relationship provisions in the
Consumer Credit Act and the Plevin judgment are 'potentially
relevant considerations' in some of the PPI complaints referred to
FOS. On 27 May 2015, the FCA announced that it was considering
whether additional rules and/or guidance are required to deal with
the impact of the Plevin decision on complaints about PPI
generally. RBS is in active dialogue with FOS and the FCA on this
issue.
On 2 October 2015, the FCA announced that it would issue a
consultation paper by the end of 2015 on proposed rules and
guidance about how firms should handle PPI complaints fairly in
light of the Plevin decision and how the FOS should consider
relevant PPI complaints. The FCA also intends to consult on the
introduction of a time bar for handling PPI complaints.
Notes
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews (continued)
At this stage, as there remains considerable uncertainty
regarding the application of the Plevin decision and the impact of
any time bar, it is not practicable reliably to estimate the
potential impact on RBS, which may be material.
UK personal current accounts/retail banking
As previously disclosed, on 11 March 2014, the Competition &
Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it would be undertaking an
update of the OFT's 2013 personal current account (PCA) review, in
parallel with its market study into small and medium-sized
enterprise (SME) banking. In July 2014 the CMA published its
preliminary findings in respect of both the PCA and SME market
studies. The CMA provisionally decided to make a market
investigation reference (MIR) for both the PCA and SME market
studies. On 6 November 2014, the CMA made its final decision to
proceed with a MIR. On 22 October 2015 the CMA published a summary
of its provisional findings and notice of possible remedies. The
CMA has provisionally concluded there are a number of competition
concerns in the provision of PCAs, business current accounts and
SME lending, particularly around low levels of customer switching,
resulting in banks not being put under enough competitive pressure,
and new products and new banks not attracting customers quickly
enough. The notice of possible remedies sets out 15 potential
measures to address these concerns, including measures to make it
easier for consumers and businesses to compare bank products, and
requiring banks to help raise public awareness of, and confidence
in, switching bank accounts. The MIR is a wide-ranging 18-24 month
Phase 2 inquiry with the final report expected to be published in
April 2016.
At this stage as there remains uncertainty around the outcome of
this matter, it is not practicable reliably to estimate the
potential impact on RBS, which may be material.
Notes
5. Recent developments
Conversion of B shares
On 8 October 2015, the company received a valid notice from HM
Treasury to convert 51 billion Series 1 B shares of 1p each into
5.1 billion new RBSG plc ordinary shares of GBP1 each. The new
ordinary shares were admitted to the Official List and to trading
on the London Stock Exchange on 14 October 2015. HM Treasury's
holding in the company's ordinary shares is currently 72.9%.
Finance Bill 2015 - 2016
The Finance Bill 2015 - 2016 was substantively enacted on 26
October 2015 and introduced a number of previously announced
changes to the UK corporate tax system. In accordance with IFRS
these changes will be accounted for in Q4 2015.
The most relevant measures include:
-- Cuts in the rate of corporation tax from 20% to 19% from 1 April
2017 and to 18% from 1 April 2020. Existing temporary differences
on which deferred tax has been provided may reverse at these
reduced rates;
-- A corporation tax surcharge of 8% on UK banking entities from
1 January 2016. This is expected to increase RBS's corporation
tax liabilities and vary the carrying value of its deferred
tax balances;
-- A reduction in the bank levy rate from 0.21% to 0.18% from 1
January 2016 and subsequent annual reductions to 0.1% from 1
January 2021; and
-- Making compensation in relation to misconduct non-deductible
for corporation tax.
As outlined in our 2015 Interim results, it is expected that
these measures will increase the normalised tax rate to around 27%
in the medium term and trending lower thereafter and the annual
bank levy charge for 2015 is expected to be GBP280 million,
projected to fall progressively to GBP150 million by 2019.

In particular, this document includes forward-looking statements
relating, but not limited to: The Royal Bank of Scotland Group
plc's (RBS) transformation plan (which includes RBS's 2013/2014
strategic plan relating to the implementation of its new divisional
and functional structure and the continuation of its balance sheet
reduction programme including its proposed divestments of CFG and
Williams & Glyn, RBS's information technology and operational
investment plan, the proposed restructuring of RBS's CIB business
and the restructuring of RBS as a result of the implementation of
the regulatory ring-fencing regime, together the "Transformation
Plan"), as well as restructuring, capital and strategic plans,
divestments, capitalisation, portfolios, net interest margin,
capital and leverage ratios, liquidity, risk-weighted assets
(RWAs), RWA equivalents (RWAe), return on equity (ROE),
profitability, cost:income ratios, loan:deposit ratios, AT1 and
other capital raising plans, funding and risk profile; litigation,
government and regulatory investigations including investigations
relating to the setting of interest rates and foreign exchange
trading and rate setting activities; costs or exposures borne by
RBS arising out of the origination or sale of mortgages or
mortgage-backed securities in the US; investigations relating to
business conduct and the costs of resulting customers redress and
legal proceedings; RBS's future financial performance; the level
and extent of future impairments and write-downs; and RBS's
exposure to political risks, credit rating risk and to various
types of market risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange
rate risk and commodity and equity price risk. These statements are
based on current plans, estimates, targets and projections, and are
subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors which
could cause actual results to differ materially from the future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
For example, certain market risk and other disclosures are
dependent on choices relying on key model characteristics and
assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their
nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates
and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ
materially from those that have been estimated.
Other factors that could adversely affect our results and the
accuracy of forward-looking statements in this document include the
risk factors and other uncertainties discussed in the 2014 Annual
Report and Accounts and this document. These include the
significant risks for RBS presented by the execution of the
Transformation Plan; RBS's ability to successfully implement the
various initiatives that are comprised in the Transformation Plan,
particularly the balance sheet reduction programme including the
divestment of Williams & Glyn and its remaining stake in CFG,
the proposed restructuring of its CIB business and the significant
restructuring undertaken by RBS as a result of the implementation
of the ring fence; whether RBS will emerge from implementing the
Transformation Plan as a viable, competitive, customer focused and
profitable bank; RBS's ability to achieve its capital targets which
depend on RBS's success in reducing the size of its business; the
cost and complexity of the implementation of the ring-fence and the
extent to which it will have a material adverse effect on RBS; the
risk of failure to realise the benefit of RBS's substantial
investments in its information technology and operational
infrastructure and systems, the significant changes, complexity and
costs relating to the implementation of the Transformation Plan,
the risks of lower revenues resulting from lower customer retention
and revenue generation as RBS refocuses on the UK as well as
increasing competition. In addition, there are other risks and
uncertainties. These include RBS's ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel; uncertainties regarding the outcomes of legal,
regulatory and governmental actions and investigations that RBS is
subject to (including active civil and criminal investigations) and
any resulting material adverse effect on RBS of unfavourable
outcomes; heightened regulatory and governmental scrutiny and the
increasingly regulated environment in which RBS operates;
uncertainty relating to the referendum on the UK's membership of
the EU and the consequences arising from it; operational risks that
are inherent in RBS's business and that could increase as RBS
implements its Transformation Plan; the potential negative impact
on RBS's business of actual or perceived global economic and
financial market conditions and other global risks; how RBS will be
increasingly impacted by UK developments as its operations become
gradually more focused on the UK; uncertainties regarding RBS
exposure to any weakening of economies within the EU and renewed
threat of default or exit by certain countries in the Eurozone; the
risks resulting from RBS implementing the State Aid restructuring
plan including with respect to the disposal of certain assets and
businesses as announced or required as part of the State Aid
restructuring plan; the achievement of capital and costs reduction
targets; ineffective management of capital or changes to regulatory
requirements relating to capital adequacy and liquidity; the
ability to access sufficient sources of capital, liquidity and
funding when required; deteriorations in borrower and counterparty
credit quality; the extent of future write-downs and impairment
charges caused by depressed asset valuations; the value and
effectiveness of any credit protection purchased by RBS; the impact
of unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, yield curves,
foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads, bond prices,
commodity prices, equity prices; basis, volatility and correlation
risks; changes in the credit ratings of RBS; changes to the
valuation of financial instruments recorded at fair value;
competition and consolidation in the banking sector; regulatory or
legal changes (including those requiring any restructuring of RBS's
operations); changes to the monetary and interest rate policies of
central banks and other governmental and regulatory bodies and
continued prolonged periods of low interest rates; changes in UK
and foreign laws, regulations, accounting standards and taxes;
impairments of goodwill; the high dependence of RBS's operations on
its information technology systems and its increasing exposure to
cyber security threats; the reputational risks inherent in RBS's
operations; the risk that RBS may suffer losses due to employee
misconduct; pension fund shortfalls; the recoverability of deferred
tax assets; HM Treasury exercising influence over the operations of
RBS; limitations on, or additional requirements imposed on, RBS's
activities as a result of HM Treasury's investment in RBS; and the
success of RBS in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak
only as of the date of this announcement, and RBS does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events
or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.
The information, statements and opinions contained in this
document do not constitute a public offer under any applicable
legislation or an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy
any securities or financial instruments or any advice or

Go-forward Bank profile
Appendix 2 Go-forward Bank profile
RBS is committed to becoming a leaner, less volatile business
based around its core franchises of PBB and CPB. To achieve this
goal a number of initiatives have been announced which include, but
are not limited to, the restructuring of CIB into CIB Go-forward
and CIB Capital Resolution, the divestment of the remaining stake
in Citizens, the sale of the international private banking
business, the exit of Williams & Glyn and the continued run
down of RCR. Significant progress towards these exits is expected
by the end of 2015. The following table illustrates the impact on
certain key performance measures of these initiatives by showing
the 'Go-forward' profile of the bank and the segments, businesses
and portfolios which it intends to exit. This information is
presented to illustrate the strategy and its impact on the business
and is on a non-statutory basis and should be read in conjunction
with the notes below as well as the section titled Forward-looking
statements.

Appendix 2 Go-forward Bank profile
Notes:
(1) Excluding Williams & Glyn.
(2) Excluding international private banking business reclassified to disposal groups.
(3) The CIB segment is being restructured into CIB Go-forward and CIB Capital Resolution elements.
The split is subject to further refinement. In Q4 2015 the Western European loan portfolio and
the UK Transaction Services business will transfer to Commercial Banking.
(4) Other Go-forward is primarily Centre, which includes the liquidity portfolio.
(5) Does not reflect the cost base, funding and capital profile of a standalone bank. Operating expenses
include charges based on an attribution of support provided by RBS to Williams & Glyn. Expenses
incurred by Williams & Glyn were GBP96 million in Q3 2015 (nine months ended 30 September 2015
- GBP267 million).
(6) Includes Citizens RWAs of GBP72 billion which remain consolidated for regulatory reporting purposes
and the interest in associate in relation to Citizens funded assets.
(7) Excluding restructuring costs and litigation and conduct costs.
(8) ROE is based on operating profit after tax on a non-statutory basis adjusted for preference share
dividends divided by average notional equity (based on 13% of the monthly average of segmental
RWAe).
(9) PBB adjusted ROE Q3 2015 - 27% (nine months ended 30 September 2015 - 26%). CPB adjusted ROE
Q3 2015 - 11% (nine months ended 30 September 2015 - 12%). Excluding IFRS volatility loss of
Q3 2015 - GBP126 million (nine months ended 30 September 2015 - loss GBP44 million), the Go-forward
Bank's adjusted return on equity was Q3 2015 - 13% (nine months ended 30 September 2015 - 13%).
(10) CIB RWAs of GBP39 billion includes GBP8 billion of RWAs related to businesses that will transfer
out of CIB in Q4 2015, comprising the Western European loan portfolio and the UK Transaction
Services business.
