Notes on the financial statements
1 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
--------------------------------------------------------
1.1 Basis of preparation
(a) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The consolidated financial statements of HSBC UK and the
separate financial statements of the bank comply with UK-adopted
international accounting standards and with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006. These financial statements are also prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB, including
interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee, as
there are no applicable differences from IFRSs as issued by the
IASB for the periods presented. There were no unendorsed standards
effective for the year ended 31 December 2022 affecting these
consolidated and separate financial statements.
Standards adopted during the year ended 31 December 2022
There were no new accounting standards or interpretations that
had a significant effect on HSBC UK in 2022. Accounting policies
have been consistently applied.
(b) Future accounting developments
Minor amendments to IFRSs
The IASB has not published any minor amendments to IFRSs which
are effective from 1 January 2022 that are applicable to HSBC UK.
However, the IASB has published a number of minor amendments to
IFRSs that are effective from 1 January 2023 and 1 January 2024.
The group expects they will have an insignificant effect, when
adopted, on the consolidated financial statements of the group and
the separate financial statements of the bank.
New IFRSs
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' was issued in May 2017, with
amendments to the standard issued in June 2020 and December 2021.
Following the amendments, IFRS 17 is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and has been adopted
in its entirety for use in the UK. However, it is not expected to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of
the group and the separate financial statements of the bank.
(c) Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the bank is sterling, which is also
the presentational currency of the consolidated financial
statements of
the group.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of
exchange on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of
exchange at the balance sheet date except non-monetary assets and
liabilities measured at historical cost, which are translated using
the rate of exchange at the initial transaction date. Exchange
differences are included in other comprehensive income or in the
income statement depending on where the gain or loss on the
underlying item is recognised.
(d) Presentation of information
Certain disclosures required by IFRSs have been included in the
audited sections of this Annual Report and Accounts 2022 as
follows:
-- disclosures concerning the nature and extent of risks
relating to financial instruments are included in the 'Report of
the Directors | Risk' on pages 17 to 65; and
-- capital disclosures are included in the 'Report of the Directors | Risk' on pages 59 to 61.
In publishing the parent company financial statements together
with the group financial statements, the bank has taken advantage
of the exemption in Section 408(3) of the Companies Act 2006 not to
present its individual income statement and related notes.
(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial information requires the use of
estimates and judgements about future conditions. In view of the
inherent uncertainties and the high level of subjectivity involved
in the recognition or measurement of items highlighted as the
critical accounting estimates and judgements in section 1.2 below,
it is possible that the outcomes in the next financial year could
differ from those on which management's estimates are based. This
could result in materially different estimates and judgements from
those reached by management for the purposes of these financial
statements. Management's selection of the group's accounting
policies that contain critical estimates and judgements reflects
the materiality of the items to which the policies are applied and
the high degree of judgement and estimation uncertainty
involved.
Management has considered the impact of climate-related risks on
HSBC's financial position and performance. While the effects of
climate change are a source of uncertainty, as at 31 December 2022
management do not consider there to be a material impact on our
critical judgements and estimates from the physical, transition and
other climate-related risks in the short to medium term. In
particular management has considered the known and observable
potential impact of climate-related risks of associated judgements
and estimates in our value in use calculations.
(f) Segmental analysis
HSBC UK's chief operating decision-maker is the group Chief
Executive, supported by the group Executive Committee, and
operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the group Chief Executive and the
group Executive Committee.
Measurement of segmental assets, liabilities, income and
expenses is in accordance with the group's accounting policies.
Segmental income and expenses include transfers between segments
and these transfers are conducted at arm's length. Shared costs are
included in segments on the basis of the actual recharges made.
The types of products and services from which each reportable
segment derives its revenue are discussed in the 'Strategic report
| Our global businesses'.
(g) Going concern
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis,
as the Directors are satisfied that the group and bank have the
resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. In
making this assessment, the Directors have considered a wide range
of information relating to present and future conditions, including
future projections of profitability, cash flows, capital
requirements and capital resources. These considerations include
stressed scenarios that reflect the uncertainty in structural
changes from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war,
disrupted supply chains globally, climate change and other top and
emerging risks, as well as from the related impacts on
profitability, capital and liquidity.
1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Consolidation and related policies
Investments in subsidiaries
Where an entity is governed by voting rights, the group
consolidates when it holds, directly or indirectly, the necessary
voting rights to pass resolutions by the governing body. In all
other cases, the assessment of control is more complex and requires
judgement of other factors, including having exposure to
variability of returns, power to direct relevant activities and
whether power is held as agent or principal.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition
method. The amount of non-controlling interest is measured either
at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate
share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The election is
made for each business combination.
The bank's investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less
impairment losses.
Goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for the purpose of impairment
testing, which is undertaken at the lowest level at which goodwill
is monitored for internal management purposes. The group's CGUs are
based on the business lines described in the Strategic Report.
Impairment testing is performed once a year, or whenever there is
an indication of impairment, by comparing the recoverable amount of
a CGU with its carrying amount.
Goodwill is included in a disposal group if the disposal group
is a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated or it is an operation
within such a CGU. The amount of goodwill included in a disposal
group is measured on the basis of the relative values of the
operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The review of goodwill for impairment reflects management's best estimate
of the future cash flows of the CGUs and the rates used to discount
these cash flows, both of which are subject to uncertain factors as
follows:
* The accuracy of forecast cash flows is subject to a * The future cash flows of the CGUs are sensitive to
high degree of uncertainty in volatile market the cash flows projected for the periods for which
conditions. Where such circumstances are determined detailed forecasts are available and to assumptions
to exist, management re-tests goodwill for impairment regarding the long-term pattern of sustainable cash
more frequently than once a year when indicators of flows thereafter. Forecasts are compared with actual
impairment exist. This ensures that the assumptions performance and verifiable economic data, but they
on which the cash flow forecasts are based continue reflect management's view of future business
to reflect current market conditions and management's prospects at the time of the assessment.
best estimate of future business prospects.
* The rates used to discount future expected cash flows
can have a significant effect on their valuation, and
are based on the costs of equity assigned to
individual CGUs. The cost of equity percentage is
generally derived from a capital asset pricing model
and the market implied cost of equity, which
incorporates inputs reflecting a number of financial
and economic variables, including the risk-free
interest rate and a premium for the risk of the
business being evaluated. These variables are subject
to fluctuations in external market rates and economic
conditions beyond management's control.
* Key assumptions used in estimating goodwill
impairment are described in Note 15.
=========================================================== ===========================================================
The group does not consider there to be a significant risk of a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the goodwill balance
in the next financial year but does consider this to be an area
that is inherently judgemental.
Interests in associates and joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are investments in which the group, together
with one or more parties, has joint control. Depending on the
group's rights and obligations, the joint arrangement is classified
as either a joint operation or a joint venture. The group
classifies investments in entities over which it has significant
influence, and that are neither subsidiaries nor joint
arrangements, as associates.
The group recognises its share of the assets, liabilities and
results in a joint operation. Investments in associates and
interests in joint ventures are recognised using the equity method.
The attributable share of the results and reserves of joint
ventures and associates is included in the consolidated financial
statements of the group, based on either financial statements made
up to 31 December, or pro-rated amounts adjusted for any material
transactions or events occurring between the date the financial
statements are available and 31 December.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are assessed at
each reporting date and tested for impairment when there is an
indication that the investment may be impaired. Goodwill on
acquisition of interests in joint ventures and associates is not
tested separately for impairment, but is assessed as part of the
carrying amount of the investment.
(b) Income and expense
Operating income
Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense for all financial instruments,
excluding those classified as held for trading are recognised in
'Interest income' and 'Interest expense' in the income statement
using the effective interest method.
Interest on credit-impaired financial assets is recognised using
the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the
purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Non-interest income and expense
The group generates fee income from services provided at a fixed
price over time, such as account service and card fees, or when it
delivers a specific transaction at a point in time, such as broking
services and import/export services. With the exception of certain
performance fees, all other fees are generated at a fixed price.
Fund management and performance fees can be variable depending on
the size of the customer portfolio and the group's performance as
fund manager. Variable fees are recognised when all uncertainties
are resolved. Fee income is generally earned from short-term
contracts with payment terms that do not include a significant
financing component.
The group acts as principal in the majority of contracts with
customers, with the exception of broking services. For most
brokerage trades, the group acts as agent in the transaction and
recognises broking income net of fees payable to other parties in
the arrangement.
The group recognises fees earned on transaction-based
arrangements at a point in time when it has fully provided the
service to the customer. Where the contract requires services to be
provided over time, income is recognised on a systematic basis over
the life of the agreement.
Where the group offers a package of services that contains
multiple non-distinct performance obligations, such as those
included in account service packages, the promised services are
treated as a single performance obligation. If a package of
services contains distinct performance obligations, such as those
including both account and insurance services, the corresponding
transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based
on the estimated stand-alone selling prices.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment
is established. This is the ex-dividend date for listed equity
securities, and usually the date when shareholders approve the
dividend for unlisted equity securities.
The group buys and sells currencies to customers, as principal
and presents the results of this activity, including the related
gains and losses from changes in foreign exchange rates, as
trading.
Net income/(expense) from financial instruments measured at fair
value through profit or loss includes the following:
-- 'Net income from financial instruments held for trading or
managed on a fair value basis': This comprises net trading income,
which includes all gains and losses from changes in the fair value
of financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading and
other financial instruments managed on a fair value basis, together
with the related interest income, expense and dividends, excluding
the effect of changes in the credit risk of liabilities managed on
a fair value basis. It also includes all gains and losses from
changes in the fair value of derivatives that are managed in
conjunction with financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value through profit or loss.
-- 'Changes in fair value of other financial instruments
mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss': This
includes interest on instruments that fail the SPPI test, see
(d).
(c) Valuation of financial instruments
All financial instruments are initially recognised at fair
value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
of a financial instrument on initial recognition is generally its
transaction price (that is, the fair value of the consideration
given or received). However, if there is a difference between the
transaction price and the fair value of financial instruments whose
fair value is based on a quoted price in an active market or a
valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets,
the group recognises the difference as a trading gain or loss at
inception (a 'day 1 gain or loss'). In all other cases, the entire
day 1 gain or loss is deferred and recognised in the income
statement over the life of the transaction either until the
transaction matures or is closed out or the valuation inputs become
observable.
The fair value of financial instruments is generally measured on
an individual basis. Financial instruments are classified into one
of three fair value hierarchy levels, described in Note 7, 'Fair
values of financial instruments carried at fair value'.
(d) Financial instruments measured at amortised cost
Financial assets that are held to collect the contractual cash
flows and which contain contractual terms that give rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest are measured at amortised cost. Such financial assets
include most loans and advances to banks and customers and some
debt securities. In addition, most financial liabilities are
measured at amortised cost. The group accounts for regular way
amortised cost financial instruments using trade date accounting.
The carrying value of these financial assets at initial recognition
includes any directly attributable transactions costs.
Non-trading reverse repurchase, repurchase and similar
agreements
When debt securities are sold subject to a commitment to
repurchase them at a predetermined price ('repos'), they remain on
the balance sheet and a liability is recorded in respect of the
consideration received. Securities purchased under commitments to
resell ('reverse repos') are not recognised on the balance sheet
and an asset is recorded in respect of the initial consideration
paid. Non-trading repos and reverse repos are measured at amortised
cost. The difference between the sale and repurchase price or
between the purchase and resale price is treated as interest and
recognised in net interest income over the life of the
agreement.
Finance lease receivables
Agreements which transfer to counterparties substantially all
the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of assets are
classified as finance leases. They are recorded at an amount equal
to the net investment in the lease, less any impairment allowance.
The net investment in finance leases represents the sum of the
minimum payments receivable (gross investment in the lease)
discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the lease. Initial
direct costs incurred in arranging the lease, less any fee income
related to the lease, are included in the initial measurement of
the net investment.
(e) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets held for a business model that is achieved by
both collecting contractual cash flows and selling and which
contain contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are
measured at FVOCI. These comprise primarily debt securities. They
are recognised on the trade date when the group enters into
contractual arrangements to purchase and are normally derecognised
when they are either sold or redeemed. They are subsequently
remeasured at fair value and changes therein (except for those
relating to impairment, interest income and foreign currency
exchange gains and losses) are recognised in other comprehensive
income until the assets are sold. Upon disposal, the cumulative
gains or losses in other comprehensive income are recognised in the
income statement as 'Gains less losses from financial instruments'.
Financial assets measured at FVOCI are included in the impairment
calculations set out below and impairment is recognised in profit
or loss.
(f) Derivatives
Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value
from the price of underlying items such as equities, interest rates
or other indices. Derivatives are recognised initially and are
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives are classified as assets when their fair value is
positive or as liabilities when their fair value is negative. This
includes embedded derivatives in financial liabilities, which are
bifurcated from the host contract when they meet the definition of
a derivative on a stand-alone basis.
Hedge accounting
When derivatives are not part of fair value designated
relationships, if held for risk management purposes they are
designated in hedge accounting relationships where the required
criteria for documentation and hedge effectiveness are met. The
group uses these derivatives or, where allowed, other
non-derivative hedging instruments in fair value hedges or cash
flow hedges as appropriate to the risk being hedged.
Fair value hedge
Fair value hedge accounting does not change the recording of
gains and losses on derivatives and other hedging instruments, but
results in recognising changes in the fair value of the hedged
assets or liabilities attributable to the hedged risk that would
not otherwise be recognised in the income statement. If a hedge
relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
hedge accounting is discontinued and the cumulative adjustment to
the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to the income
statement on a recalculated effective interest rate, unless the
hedged item has been derecognised, in which case it is recognised
in the income statement immediately.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of gains and losses on hedging instruments
is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective
portion of the change in fair value of derivative hedging
instruments that are part of a cash flow hedge relationship is
recognised immediately in the income statement within 'Net income
from financial instruments held for trading or managed on a fair
value basis'. The accumulated gains and losses recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement in
the same periods in which the hedged item affects profit or loss.
When a hedge relationship is discontinued, or partially
discontinued, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in other
comprehensive income remains in equity until the forecast
transaction is recognised in the income statement. When a forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is
immediately reclassified to the income statement.
(g) Impairment of amortised cost and FVOCI financial assets
ECL are recognised for loans and advances to banks and
customers, non-trading reverse repurchase agreements, other
financial assets held at amortised cost, debt instruments measured
at fair value through other comprehensive income ('FVOCI'), and
certain loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. At
initial recognition, an allowance (or provision in the case of some
loan commitments and financial guarantees) is required for ECL
resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12
months, or less, where the remaining life is less than 12 months
('12-month ECL'). In the event of a significant increase in credit
risk, an allowance (or provision) is required for ECL resulting
from all possible default events over the expected life of the
financial instrument ('lifetime ECL'). Financial assets where
12-month ECL is recognised are considered to be 'stage 1';
financial assets which are considered to have experienced a
significant increase in credit risk are in 'stage 2'; and financial
assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment so are
considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired are in
'stage 3'. POCI are treated differently as set out below.
Credit impaired (stage 3)
The group determines that a financial instrument is credit
impaired and in stage 3 by considering relevant objective evidence,
primarily whether contractual payments of either principal or
interest are past due for more than 90 days, there are other
indications that the borrower is unlikely to pay such as that a
concession has been granted to the borrower for economic or legal
reasons relating to the borrower's financial condition, or the loan
is otherwise considered to be in default.
If such unlikeliness to pay is not identified at an earlier
stage, it is deemed to occur when an exposure is 90 days past due,
even where regulatory rules permit default to be defined based on
180 days past due. Therefore, the definitions of credit impaired
and default are aligned as far as possible so that stage 3
represents all loans that are considered defaulted or otherwise
credit impaired.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest
rate to the amortised cost amount, i.e. gross carrying amount less
ECL allowance.
Write-off
Financial assets (and the related impairment allowances) are
normally written off, either partially or in full, when there is no
realistic prospect of recovery. Where loans are secured, this is
generally after receipt of any proceeds from the realisation of
security. In circumstances where the net realisable value of any
collateral has been determined and there is no reasonable
expectation of further recovery, write-off may be earlier.
Forbearance
Loans are identified as forborne and classified as either
performing or non-performing when HSBC UK modifies the contractual
terms due to financial difficulty of the borrower. Non-performing
forborne loans are stage 3 and classified as non-performing until
they meet the cure criteria, as specified by applicable credit risk
policy (for example, when the loan is no longer in default and no
other indicators of default have been present for at least 12
months). Any amount written off as a result of any modification of
contractual terms upon entering forbearance would not be
reversed.
In 2022, HSBC UK adopted the EBA Guidelines on the application
of definition of default for our retail portfolios, which affects
credit risk policies and our reporting in respect of the status of
loans as credit impaired principally due to forbearance (or curing
thereof). Further details are provided under 'Forborne loans and
advances' on page 27.
Performing forborne loans are initially stage 2 and remain
classified as forborne until they meet applicable cure criteria
(for example, they continue to not be in default and no other
indicators of default are present for a period of at least 24
months). At this point, the loan is either stage 1 or stage 2 as
determined by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the
reporting date (based on the modified contractual terms) and the
risk of a default occurring at initial recognition (based on the
original, unmodified contractual terms).
A forborne loan is derecognised if the existing agreement is
cancelled and a new agreement is made on substantially different
terms, or if the terms of an existing agreement are modified such
that the forborne loan is a substantially different financial
instrument. Any new loans that arise following derecognition events
in these circumstances would generally be classified as POCI and
will continue to be disclosed as forborne.
Loan modifications other than forborne loans
Loan modifications that are not identified as forborne are
considered to be commercial restructuring. Where a commercial
restructuring results in a modification (whether legalised through
an amendment to the existing terms or the issuance of a new loan
contract) such that HSBC UK rights to the cash flows under the
original contract have expired, the old loan is derecognised and
the new loan is recognised at fair value. The rights to cash flows
are generally considered to have expired if the commercial
restructure is at market rates and no payment-related concession
has been provided. Modifications of certain higher credit risk
wholesale loans are assessed for derecognition having regard to
changes in contractual terms that either individually or in
combination are judged to result in a substantially different
financial instrument. Mandatory and general offer loan
modifications that are not borrower-specific, for example
market-wide customer relief programmes generally do not result in
derecognition, but their stage allocation is determined considering
all available and supportable information under our ECL impairment
policy. Changes made to these financial instruments that are
economically equivalent and required by interest rate benchmark
reform do not result in the derecognition or a change in the
carrying amount of the financial instrument, but instead require
the effective interest rate to be updated to reflect the change of
the interest rate benchmark.
Significant increase in credit risk (stage 2)
An assessment of whether credit risk has increased significantly
since initial recognition is performed at each reporting period by
considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the
remaining life of the financial instrument. The assessment
explicitly or implicitly compares the risk of default occurring at
the reporting date compared with that at initial recognition,
taking into account reasonable and supportable information,
including information about past events, current conditions and
future economic conditions. The assessment is unbiased,
probability-weighted, and to the extent relevant, uses
forward-looking information consistent with that used in the
measurement of ECL. The analysis of credit risk is multifactor. The
determination of whether a specific factor is relevant and its
weight compared with other factors depends on the type of product,
the characteristics of the financial instrument and the borrower.
Therefore, it is not possible to provide a single set of criteria
that will determine what is considered to be a significant increase
in credit risk and these criteria will differ for different types
of lending, particularly between retail and wholesale. However,
unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are
deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when
30 days past due. In addition, wholesale loans that are
individually assessed, which are typically corporate and commercial
customers, and included on a watch or worry list, are included in
stage 2.
For wholesale portfolios, the quantitative comparison assesses
default risk using a lifetime PD which encompasses a wide range of
information including the obligor's CRR, macro-economic condition
forecasts and credit transition probabilities. For origination CRRs
up to 3.3, significant increase in credit risk is measured by
comparing the average PD for the remaining term estimated at
origination with the equivalent estimation at the reporting date.
The quantitative measure of significance varies depending on the
credit quality at origination as follows:
0.1-1.2 15 bps
------- ------
2.1-3.3 30 bps
------- ------
For CRRs greater than 3.3 that are not impaired, a significant
increase in credit risk is considered to have occurred when the
origination PD has doubled. The significance of changes in PD was
informed by expert credit risk judgement, referenced to historical
credit migrations and to relative changes in external market
rates.
For loans originated prior to the implementation of IFRS 9, the
origination PD does not include adjustments to reflect expectations
of future macroeconomic conditions since these are not available
without the use of hindsight. In the absence of this data,
origination PD must be approximated assuming through-the-cycle PDs
and through-the-cycle migration probabilities, consistent with the
instrument's underlying modelling approach and the CRR at
origination. For these loans, the quantitative comparison is
supplemented with additional CRR deterioration-based thresholds, as
set out in the table below:
0.1 5 notches
------- ---------
1.1-4.2 4 notches
------- ---------
4.3-5.1 3 notches
------- ---------
5.2-7.1 2 notches
------- ---------
7.2-8.2 1 notch
------- ---------
8.3 0 notch
------- ---------
Further information about the 23-grade scale used for CRR can be
found on page 27 - Risk rating scales.
For Retail portfolios, default risk is assessed using a
reporting date 12-month PD derived from credit scores, which
incorporate all available information about the customer. This PD
is adjusted for the effect of macroeconomic forecasts for periods
longer than
12 months and is considered to be a reasonable approximation of
a lifetime PD measure. Retail exposures are first segmented into
homogenous portfolios, generally by country, product and brand.
Within each portfolio, the stage 2 accounts are defined as accounts
with an adjusted 12-month PD greater than the average 12-month PD
of loans in that portfolio 12 months before they become 30 days
past due. The expert credit risk judgement is that no prior
increase in credit risk is significant. This portfolio-specific
threshold therefore identifies loans with a PD higher than would be
expected from loans that are performing as originally expected and
higher than that which would have been acceptable at origination.
It therefore approximates a comparison of origination to reporting
date PDs.
As additional data becomes available, the retail transfer
criteria approach continues to be refined to utilise a more
relative approach for certain portfolios. These enhancements take
advantage of the increase in origination related data in the
assessment of significant increases in credit risk by comparing
remaining lifetime PD to the comparable remaining term lifetime PD
at origination based on portfolio-specific origination segments.
These enhancements resulted in significant migrations of loans to
customers gross carrying amounts from stage 1 to stage 2, but did
not have a significant impact on the overall ECL for these
portfolios in 2022 due to low loan-to-value ratios.
Unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk
(stage 1)
ECL resulting from default events that are possible within the
next 12 months ('12-month ECL') are recognised for financial
instruments that remain in stage 1.
Purchased or originated credit impaired
Financial assets that are purchased or originated at a deep
discount that reflects the incurred credit losses are considered to
be POCI. This population includes new financial instruments
recognised in most cases following the derecognition of forborne
loans. The amount of change in lifetime ECL for a POCI loan is
recognised in profit or loss until the POCI loan is derecognised,
even if the lifetime ECL are less than the amount of ECL included
in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition.
Movement between stages
Financial assets can be transferred between the different
categories (other than POCI) depending on their relative increase
in credit risk since initial recognition. Financial instruments are
transferred out of stage 2 if their credit risk is no longer
considered to be significantly increased since initial recognition
based on the assessments described above. In the case of
non-performing forborne loans, such financial instruments are
transferred out of stage 3 when they no longer exhibit any evidence
of credit impairment and meet the curing criteria as described
above.
Measurement of ECL
The assessment of credit risk and the estimation of ECL are
unbiased and probability-weighted, and incorporate all available
information which is relevant to the assessment including
information about past events, current conditions and reasonable
and supportable forecasts of future events and economic conditions
at the reporting date. In addition, the estimation of ECL should
take into account the time value of money and considers other
factors such as climate-related risks.
In general, the group calculates ECL using three main
components: a PD, a LGD and the EAD.
The 12-month ECL is calculated by multiplying the 12-month PD,
LGD and EAD. Lifetime ECL is calculated using the lifetime PD
instead. The 12-month and lifetime PDs represent the probability of
default occurring over the next 12 months and the remaining
maturity of the instrument respectively.
The EAD represents the expected balance at default, taking into
account the repayment of principal and interest from the balance
sheet date to the default event together with any expected
drawdowns of committed facilities. The LGD represents expected
losses on the EAD given the event of default, taking into account,
among other attributes, the mitigating effect of collateral value
at the time it is expected to be realised and the time value of
money.
The group makes use of the Basel II IRB framework where
possible, with recalibration to meet the differing IFRS 9
requirements as set out in the following table:
PD Through the cycle (represents Point in time (based on current
long-run average PD throughout conditions, adjusted to take

----- --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
While 12-month PDs are recalibrated from Basel II models where
possible, the lifetime PDs are determined by projecting the
12-month PD using a term structure. For the wholesale methodology,
the lifetime PD also takes into account credit migration, i.e. a
customer migrating through the CRR bands over its life.
The ECL for wholesale stage 3 is determined on an individual
basis using a DCF methodology. The expected future cash flows are
based on the credit risk officer's estimates at the reporting date,
reflecting reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections
of future recoveries and expected future receipts of interest.
Collateral is taken into account if it is likely that the recovery
of the outstanding amount will include realisation of collateral
based on its estimated fair value of collateral at the time of
expected realisation, less costs for obtaining and selling the
collateral.
The cash flows are discounted at a reasonable approximation of
the original effective interest rate. For significant cases, cash
flows under four different scenarios are probability-weighted by
reference to the economic scenarios applied more generally by the
group and the judgement of the credit risk officer in relation to
the likelihood of the workout strategy succeeding or receivership
being required. For less significant cases, the effect of different
economic scenarios and work-out strategies is approximated and
applied as an adjustment to the most likely outcome.
Period over which ECL is measured
Expected credit loss is measured from the initial recognition of
the financial asset. The maximum period considered when measuring
ECL (be it 12-month or lifetime ECL) is the maximum contractual
period over which the group is exposed to credit risk. However,
where the financial instrument includes both a drawn and undrawn
commitment and the contractual ability to demand repayment and
cancel the undrawn commitment does not serve to limit the group's
exposure to credit risk to the contractual notice period, the
contractual period does not determine the maximum period
considered. Instead, ECL is measured over the period the group
remains exposed to credit risk that is not mitigated by credit risk
management actions. This applies to retail overdrafts and credit
cards, where the period is the average time taken for stage 2
exposures to default or close as performing accounts, determined on
a portfolio basis and ranging from between two and six years. In
addition, for these facilities it is not possible to identify the
ECL on the loan commitment component separately from the financial
asset component. As a result, the total ECL is recognised in the
loss allowance for the financial asset unless the total ECL exceeds
the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, in which case the
ECL is recognised as a provision. For wholesale overdraft
facilities, credit risk management actions are taken no less
frequently than on an annual basis.
Forward-looking economic inputs
The group applies multiple forward-looking global economic
scenarios determined with reference to external forecast
distributions representative of its view of forecast economic
conditions. This approach is considered sufficient to calculate
unbiased expected loss in most economic environments. In certain
economic environments, additional analysis may be necessary and may
result in additional scenarios or adjustments, to reflect a range
of possible economic outcomes sufficient for an unbiased estimate.
The detailed methodology is disclosed in 'Measurement uncertainty
and sensitivity analysis of ECL estimates' on page 33.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The calculation of the group's ECL under IFRS 9 requires the group
to make a number of judgements, assumptions and estimates. The most
significant are set out below:

* Selecting model inputs and economic forecasts,

appropriately weighted economic forecasts are
incorporated to calculate unbiased expected loss.
* Making management judgemental adjustments to account
for late breaking events, model and data limitations
and deficiencies, and expert credit judgements.
========================================================== =============================================================
(h) Employee compensation and benefits
Share-based payments
The group enters into both equity-settled and cash-settled
share-based payment arrangements with its employees as compensation
for the provision of their services.
The vesting period for these schemes may commence before the
legal grant date if the employees have started to render services
in respect of the award before the legal grant date, where there is
a shared understanding of the terms and conditions of the
arrangement. Expenses are recognised when the employee starts to
render service to which the award relates.
Cancellations result from the failure to meet a non-vesting
condition during the vesting period, and are treated as an
acceleration of vesting recognised immediately in the income
statement. Failure to meet a vesting condition by the employee is
not treated as a cancellation, and the amount of expense recognised
for the award is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected
to vest.
Post-employment benefit plans
The group operates a pension plan which provides defined benefit
and defined contribution pensions.
Payments to defined contribution schemes are charged as an
expense as the employees render service.
Defined benefit pension obligations are calculated using the
projected unit credit method. The net charge to the income
statement mainly comprises the service cost and the net interest on
the net defined benefit asset or liability, and is presented in
operating expenses.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability,
which comprise actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other
comprehensive income. The net defined benefit asset or liability
represents the present value of defined benefit obligations reduced
by the fair value of plan assets (see policy (c)), after applying
the asset ceiling test, where the net defined benefit surplus is
limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in
future contributions to the plan.
The costs of obligations arising from other post-employment
plans are accounted for on the same basis as defined benefit
pension plans.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The most significant critical accounting estimates relate to the determination
of key assumptions applied in calculating the defined benefit pension
obligation.
* A range of assumptions could be applied, and
different assumptions could significantly alter the
defined benefit obligation and the amounts recognised
in profit or loss or OCI.
* The calculation of the defined benefit pension
obligation includes assumptions with regard to the
discount rate, inflation rate, pension payments and
deferred pensions, pay and mortality. Management
determines these assumptions in consultation with the
plan's actuaries.
* Key assumptions used in calculating the defined
benefit pension obligation and the sensitivity of the
calculation to different assumptions are described in
Note 3.
==============================================================================
(i) Tax
Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is
recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, in which case the tax is recognised in the same
statement in which the related item appears.
Current tax is the tax expected to be payable on the taxable
profit for the year and on any adjustment to tax payable in respect
of previous years. The group provides for potential current tax
liabilities that may arise on the basis of the amounts expected to
be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet,
and the amounts attributed to such assets and liabilities for tax
purposes. Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates expected
to apply in the periods as the assets will be realised or the
liabilities settled.
Current and deferred tax are calculated based on tax rates and
laws enacted, or substantively enacted, by the balance sheet
date.
(j) Provisions, contingent liabilities and guarantees
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or
constructive obligation that has arisen as a result of past events
and for which a reliable estimate can be made.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The recognition and measurement of provisions requires the group to
make a number of judgements, assumptions and estimates. The most significant

* Determining whether a present obligation exists. * Provisions for legal proceedings and regulatory

probability and amount of any outflows that may
arise. As matters progress, management and legal
advisers evaluate on an ongoing basis whether
provisions should be recognised, revising previous
estimates as appropriate. At more advanced stages, it
is typically easier to make estimates around a better
defined set of possible outcomes.
=========================================================== ===========================================================
Contingent liabilities, contractual commitments and
guarantees
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities, which include certain guarantees and
letters of credit pledged as collateral security, and contingent
liabilities related to legal proceedings or regulatory matters, are
not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed unless
the probability of settlement is remote.
Financial guarantee contracts
Liabilities under financial guarantee contracts that are not
classified as insurance contracts are recorded initially at their
fair value, which is generally the fee received or present value of
the fee receivable.
(k) Impairment of non-financial assets
Software under development is tested for impairment at least
annually. Other non-financial assets are property, plant and
equipment, intangible assets (excluding goodwill) and right-of-use
assets. They are tested for impairment at the individual asset
level when there is indication of impairment at that level, or at
the CGU level for assets that do not have a recoverable amount at
the individual asset level. In addition, impairment is also tested
at the CGU level when there is indication of impairment at that
level. For this purpose, CGUs are considered to be the principal
operating legal entities divided by global business.
Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the
non-financial asset or CGU with its recoverable amount, which is
the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal or the value in
use. The carrying amount of a CGU comprises the carrying values of
its assets and liabilities, including non-financial assets that are
directly attributable to it and non-financial assets that can be
allocated to it on a reasonable and consistent basis. Non-financial
assets that cannot be allocated to an individual CGU are tested for
impairment at an appropriate grouping of CGUs. The recoverable
amount of the CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of
disposal of the CGU, which is determined by independent and
qualified valuers where relevant, and the value in use, which is
calculated based on appropriate inputs (see Note 15).
When the recoverable amount of a CGU is less than its carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement to
the extent that the impairment can be allocated on a pro-rata basis
to the non-financial assets by reducing their carrying amounts to
the higher of their respective individual recoverable amount or
nil. Impairment is not allocated to the financial assets in a
CGU.
Impairment loss recognised in prior periods for non-financial
assets is reversed when there has been a change in the estimate
used to determine the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is
reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the
non-financial assets would not exceed the amount that would have
been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no
impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Such
investments are normally those with less than three months'
maturity from the date of acquisition.

Post-employment benefit plans
We operate a pension plan for our employees called the HBUK
section of the HSBC Bank (UK) Pension Scheme ('the plan'), which
has both defined benefit and defined contribution sections. The
HSBC Bank (UK) Pension Scheme was fully sectionalised in 2018 to
meet the requirements of the Banking Reform Act.
The Pension risk section on page 58 contains details about the
policies and practices associated with the plan. Climate-related
risks on page 21 provides details of how the trustee of our
employee pension plan, the HSBC Bank (UK) Pension Scheme, manages
climate risk.
The defined benefit section was closed to future benefit accrual
in 2015, with defined benefits earned by employees at that date
continuing to be linked to their salary while they remain employed
by the HSBC Group. The plan is overseen by an independent corporate
trustee, who has a fiduciary responsibility for the operation of
the plan. Its assets are held separately from the assets of the
group.
The investment strategy of the plan is to hold the majority of
assets in bonds, with the remainder in a diverse range of
investments. It also includes some interest rate swaps to reduce
interest rate risk, inflation swaps to reduce inflation risk and
longevity swaps to reduce the impact of longer life expectancy. For
further details of the measures to manage the market volatility
experienced during the second half of 2022, see Treasury risk on
page 55.
The plan is subject to the statutory funding objective
requirements of the UK Pensions Act 2004, which requires that it be
funded to at least the level of technical provisions (an actuarial
estimate of the assets needed to provide for the benefits already
built up under the plan). Where a funding valuation is carried out
and identifies a deficit, the employer and trustee are required to
agree to a deficit recovery plan.
The latest funding valuation of the plan at 31 December 2019 was
carried out by Colin G Singer of Willis Towers Watson Limited, who
is a Fellow of the UK Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, using the
projected unit credit method. At that date, the market value of the
plan's assets was GBP31.1bn and this exceeded the value placed on
its liabilities on an ongoing basis by GBP2.5bn, giving a funding
level of 109%. These figures include defined contribution assets
amounting to GBP2.4bn. The funding valuation is used to judge the
amount of cash contributions the group needs to put into the
pension scheme. It will always be different to the IAS 19
accounting surplus, which is an accounting rule concerning employee
benefits and shown on the balance sheet of our financial
statements. The main differences between the assumptions used for
assessing the liabilities for this funding valuation and those used
for IAS19 are that an element of prudence is contained in the
funding assumptions for discount rate, inflation rate and life
expectancy. The next funding valuation will be performed in 2023,
with an effective date 31 December 2022. The plan is estimated to
remain in a comfortable surplus relative to funding liabilities as
at end 2022, based on assumptions consistent with those used to
determine the funding liabilities for the 2019 valuation.
The actuary also assessed the value of the liabilities if the
HBUK section of the plan were to have been stopped and an insurance
company asked to secure all future pension payments. This is
generally larger than the amount needed on the ongoing basis
described above because an insurance company would use more prudent
assumptions which allow for reserves and include a more prudent
allowance for the future administrative expenses of the plan. Under
this approach, the amount of assets needed was estimated to be
GBP33bn at 31 December 2019.
The Trust Deed gives the ability for HSBC UK to take a refund of
surplus assets after the plan has been run down such that no
further beneficiaries remain. In assessing whether a surplus is
recoverable HSBC UK has considered its right to obtain a future
refund together with the rights of third parties such as trustees.
On this basis, any net surplus in the HBUK section of the plan is
recognised in HSBC UK's financial statements.
Guaranteed Minimum Pension Equalisation
Following a judgment issued by the High Court of Justice of
England and Wales in 2018, we estimated the financial effect of
equalising benefits in respect of guaranteed minimum pensions
('GMP') equalisation, and any potential conversion of GMPs into
non-GMP benefits, to be an approximate 0.9% increase in the plan's
liabilities for members of the plan, or GBP187m. This was
recognised in the Income Statement in 2018. A further judgment by
the High Court on 20 November 2020 ruled that GMPs should be also
equalised for those who had previously transferred benefits from
the plan to another arrangement, with GBP13m consequently being
recognised in 2020. In 2022 the trustee and Company agreed to adopt
a simplified approach for all members to implement GMP
equalisation. This resulted in an increase to the liabilities of
GBP5m and has been recognised as a past service cost through
P&L.

1 Sensitivities allow for HSBC UK's convention of rounding
pension assumptions during 2022 to the nearest 0.01% (2021: 0.05%).
The degree of rounding has been increased to align with market
practice.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an
assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In
practice, this in unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the
assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of
the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions
the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation
calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the
reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined
benefit asset recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the
sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior
period.

The effective tax rate for the year was 20.9% (2021: 32%). The
effective tax rate is reduced by 4.7% by a credit arising from the
remeasurement of the group's deferred tax balances following the
substantive enactment of legislation to reduce the UK banking
surcharge rate from 8% to 3%, with effect from 1 April 2023. The
prior year effective tax rate of 32% was higher than the UK rate of
corporation tax for banking entities of 27% following enactment of
legislation to increase the main rate of UK corporation tax from
19% to 25% from 1 April 2023. This had increased the prior year
effective tax rate by 5.8%.

Management has assessed the likely availability of future
taxable profits against which to recover the deferred tax assets of
the bank and the group, taking into consideration the reversal of
existing taxable temporary differences, past business performance
and forecasts of future business performance. Management is
satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to support recognition
of all deferred tax assets.

7 Fair values of financial instruments carried at fair value
----------------------------------------------------------
Control framework
Fair values are subject to a control framework designed to
ensure that they are either determined or validated by a function
independent of the risk taker.
Where fair values are determined by reference to externally
quoted prices or observable pricing inputs to models, independent
price determination or validation is used.
For fair values determined using valuation models, the control
framework includes development or validation by independent support
functions of the model logic, inputs, model outputs and
adjustments. Valuation models are subject to a process of due
diligence before becoming operational and are calibrated against
external market data on an ongoing basis.
Changes in fair value are generally subject to a profit and loss
analysis process and are disaggregated into high-level categories
including portfolio changes, market movements and other fair value
adjustments.
Fair value hierarchy
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined
according to the following hierarchy:
-- Level 1 - valuation technique using quoted market price:
financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments
in active markets that can be accessed at the measurement date.
-- Level 2 - valuation technique using observable inputs:
financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in
active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued
using models where all significant inputs are observable.
-- Level 3 - valuation technique with significant unobservable
inputs: financial instruments valued using valuation techniques
where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed
to occur at the end of each quarterly reporting period. Transfers
into and out of levels of the fair value hierarchy are primarily
attributable to observability of valuation inputs and price
transparency. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
during 2022 and 2021.
Fair value adjustments
Fair value adjustments are adopted when the group determines
there are additional factors considered by market participants that
are not incorporated within the valuation model. Movements in the
level of fair value adjustments do not necessarily result in the
recognition of profits or losses within the income statement, such
as when models are enhanced and therefore fair value adjustments
may no longer be required.
Fair value valuation bases
Equities
The fair value of equity investment is estimated on the basis of
an analysis of the investee's financial position and results, risk
profile, prospects and other factors. If necessary, adjustments are
made to the net asset value of funds to obtain the best estimate of
fair value.

Other financial instruments not carried at fair value are
typically short term in nature and reprice to current market rates
frequently. Accordingly, their carrying amount is a reasonable
approximation of fair value. They include cash and balances at
central banks and items in the course of collection from and
transmission to other banks, all of which are measured at amortised
cost.
Valuation
Fair value is an estimate of the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It
does not reflect the economic benefits and costs that the group
expects to flow from an instrument's cash flow over its expected
future life. Our valuation methodologies and assumptions in
determining fair values for which no observable market prices are
available may differ from those of other companies.
Loans and advances to banks and customers
To determine the fair value of loans and advances to banks and
customers, loans are segregated, as far as possible, into
portfolios of similar characteristics. Fair values are based on
observable market transactions, when available. When they are
unavailable, fair values are estimated using valuation models
incorporating a range of input assumptions. These assumptions may
include: forward-looking discounted cash flow models, taking
account of expected customer prepayment rates, using assumptions
that HSBC UK believes are consistent with those that would be used
by market participants in valuing such loans; and new business
rates estimates for similar loans.
The fair value of loans reflects expected credit losses at the
balance sheet date and the fair value effect of repricing between
origination and the balance sheet date. For credit impaired loans,
fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows over
the time period they are expected to be recovered.
Deposits by banks and customer accounts
The fair values of deposits are approximated by their carrying
value.
Debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities
Fair values are determined using quoted market prices at the
balance sheet date where available, or by reference to quoted
market prices for similar instruments. When quoted market prices
are unavailable, these instruments are valued using valuation
techniques, the inputs for which are derived from observable market
data and, where relevant, assumptions in respect of unobservable
inputs.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements - non-trading
Fair values approximate carrying amounts as balances are
generally short dated.
Financial investments
The fair values of listed financial investments are determined
using bid market prices. The fair values of unlisted financial
investments are determined using valuation techniques that
incorporate the prices and future earnings streams of equivalent
quoted securities.

The notional contract amounts of derivatives held for trading
purposes and derivatives designated in qualifying hedge accounting
indicate the nominal value of transactions outstanding at the
balance sheet date; they do not represent amounts at risk.
Use of derivatives
We undertake derivative activity for two primary purposes: to
create risk management solutions for commercial clients and to
manage and hedge our own balance sheet risks.
Hedge accounting derivatives
The group applies hedge accounting to manage the following
risks: interest rate risk and foreign exchange risks. Further
details on how these risks arise and how they are managed by the
group can be found in the 'Risk review'.
Hedge risk components
The group designates a portion of cash flows of a financial
instrument or a group of financial instruments for a specific
interest rate or foreign currency risk component in a fair value or
cash flow hedge. The designated risks and portions are either
contractually specified or otherwise separately identifiable
components of the financial instrument that are reliably
measurable. Risk-free or benchmark interest rates generally are
regarded as being both separately identifiable and reliably
measurable, except for the IBOR Reform transition where the group
designates Alternative Benchmark Rates as the hedged risk which may
not have been separately identifiable upon initial designation,
provided the group reasonably expects it will meet the requirement
within 24 months from the first designation date. The designated
risk component accounts for a significant portion of the overall
changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items.
Fair value hedges
The group enters into fixed-for-floating-interest-rate swaps to
manage the exposure to changes in fair value due to movements in
market interest rates on certain fixed rate financial instruments
which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

1 Used in effectiveness assessment; comprising amount
attributable to the designated hedged risk that can be a risk
component.
2 The accumulated amount of fair value adjustments remaining in
the statement of financial position for hedged items that have
ceased to be adjusted for hedging gains and losses were
assets/(liabilities) of GBP(12)m (2021: GBP19m) for FVOCI and
liabilities of GBP(111)m for Loans and advances to customers (2021:
GBPnil).
3 The notional amount of non-dynamic fair value hedges is equal
to GBP5,901m (2021: GBP5,444m), of which the weighted-average
maturity date is August 2027 and the weighted average swap rate is
1.28% (2021: 1.39%). These hedges are all internal to HSBC Group
and hedges internal funding between Group and HSBC UK.
4 The hedged risk 'interest rate' includes inflation risk.
The hedged item is either the benchmark interest rate risk
portion within the fixed rate of the hedged item or the full fixed
rate and it is hedged for changes in fair value due to changes in
the benchmark interest rate risk.
HSBC UK applies macro fair value hedging for interest rate risk
exposures on portfolios of fixed rate mortgages. These are
considered to be dynamic hedges and both the hedged items and the
hedging instruments are adjusted on a monthly basis when the
existing hedging relationship is terminated and a new one
designated. The hedged items and hedging instruments are adjusted
to reflect changes in the size and maturity profile of the hedged
portfolio.
Sources of hedge ineffectiveness may arise from basis risk
including but not limited to the discount rates used for
calculating the fair value of derivatives, hedges using instruments
with a non-zero fair value and notional and timing differences
between the hedged items and hedging instruments.
The disclosures for the group are the same as the disclosures
for the bank.
Cash flow hedges
The group's cash flow hedging instruments consist principally of
interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps that are used to
manage the variability in future interest cash flows of non-trading
financial assets and liabilities, arising due to changes in market
interest rates and foreign-currency basis.
The group applies macro cash flow hedging for interest-rate risk
exposures on portfolios of replenishing current and forecasted
issuances of non-trading assets and liabilities that bear interest
at variable rates, including rolling such instruments. The amounts
and timing of future cash flows, representing both principal and
interest flows, are projected for each portfolio of financial
assets and liabilities on the basis of their contractual terms and
other relevant factors, including estimates of prepayments and
defaults. The aggregate cash flows representing both principal
balances and interest cash flows across all portfolios are used to
determine the effectiveness and ineffectiveness. Macro cash flow
hedges are considered to be dynamic hedges.
The group also hedges the variability in future cash-flows on
foreign-denominated financial assets and liabilities arising due to
changes in foreign exchange market rates with cross-currency swaps,
these are considered dynamic hedges.

agent that has a floating charge over all the assets placed to
secure any liabilities under settlement accounts.
These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and
customary to collateralised transactions including, where relevant,
standard securities lending and borrowing, repurchase agreements
and derivative margining. The group places both cash and non-cash
collateral in relation to derivative transactions.

Collateral received
The fair value of assets accepted as collateral, relating
primarily to standard securities lending, reverse repurchase
agreements and derivative margining, that the group and the bank is
permitted to sell or repledge in the absence of default was
GBP10,084m (2021: GBP9,402m). The group and the bank is obliged to
return equivalent securities. These transactions are conducted
under terms that are usual and customary to standard securities
lending, reverse repurchase agreements and derivative margining.
The fair value of financial assets accepted as collateral by the
group and the bank that have been sold or repledged is GBP5,967m
(2021: GBP7,953m).
Assets transferred
The assets pledged include transfers to third parties that do
not qualify for derecognition, notably secured borrowings such as
debt securities held by counterparties as collateral under
repurchase agreements and securities lent under securities lending
agreements and mortgages to collateralise the covered bond
programme. For secured borrowings, the transferred asset collateral
continues to be recognised in full and a related liability,
reflecting the group's obligation to repurchase the assets for a
fixed price at a future date is also recognised on the balance
sheet.
Where securities are swapped, the transferred asset continues to
be recognised in full. There is no associated liability as the
non-cash collateral received is not recognised on the balance
sheet. The group is unable to use, sell or pledge the transferred
assets for the duration of these transactions, and remains exposed
to interest rate risk and credit risk on these pledged assets. The
counterparty's recourse is not limited to the transferred
assets.

All the above prepare their financial statements up to 31
December.
Details of all group subsidiaries, as required under Section 409
of the Companies Act 2006, are set out in Note 29. The principal
country of operation is the same as the country of
incorporation.
Impairment testing of investments in subsidiaries
At each reporting period end, HSBC UK Bank plc reviews
investments in subsidiaries for indicators of impairment. An
impairment is recognised when the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount for that investment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the investment's fair
value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use
is calculated by discounting management's cash flow projections for
the investment.
-- The cash flow projections for each investment are based on
the latest approved forecast profitability plans and minimal
capital levels required to support the business operations of each
entity and a long-term growth rate is used to extrapolate the cash
flows in perpetuity.
-- A long-term growth rate is used to extrapolate the free cash flows in perpetuity.
-- The growth rate reflects inflation and is based on the long-term average for the UK.
-- The rate used to discount the cash flows is based on the cost
of capital assigned to each investment, which is derived using a
CAPM and market implied cost of equity. CAPM depends on a number of
inputs reflecting financial and economic variables, including the
risk-free rate and a premium to reflect the inherent risk of the
business being evaluated. These variables are based on the market's
assessment of the economic variables and management's
judgement.
During 2022, an impairment of GBP4m (2021: GBPNil) was
recognised on the bank's investment in HSBC Trust Company (UK)
Limited, due to a reduction in the net assets of the entity.
No further impairments were recognised as a result of the
impairment in subsidiaries test performed in 2022.
14 Structured entities
-------------------
The group is involved with both consolidated and unconsolidated
structured entities through the securitisation of financial assets
and investment funds, established either by the group or a third
party.
Consolidated structured entities

Securitisations
The group uses a structured entity to securitise customer loans
and advances to diversify its sources of funding for asset
origination and capital efficiency purposes. The loans and advances
are transferred by the group to the structured entity
synthetically, and the structured entity issues debt securities to
investors.
Other
HSBC UK Covered Bonds LLP was established to participate in a
covered bond programme (regulated by the RCB regulations) and
provides a direct, unsubordinated and unconditional guarantee for
the payment of interest and principal due from the bank to covered
bondholders under the programme. The entity is consolidated as the
Bank has the decision-making power over its activities.
Unconsolidated structured entities
The term 'unconsolidated structured entities' refers to all
structured entities not controlled by the group. The group enters
into transactions with unconsolidated structured entities in the
normal course of business to facilitate customer transactions and
for specific investment opportunities.
The group's interest in unconsolidated structured entities
consist of unit holdings in four funds managed by a third party
within the wider HSBC Group. The group's unit holdings are held to
facilitate customer transactions and are recognised as Other assets
with a carrying value and maximum exposure to loss at 31 December
2022 of GBP0.2m (2021: GBP0.2m). The total assets of the funds at
31 December 2022 were GBP1.1bn (2021: GBP1.2bn). The group has no
liabilities or commitments in respect of the funds.

1 Included within the group's other intangible assets is
internally generated software with a net carrying value of GBP973m
(2021: GBP908m). During the year, capitalisation of internally
generated software is GBP382m (2021: GBP347m), impairment was
GBP45m (2021: GBP18m) and amortisation is GBP273m (2021: GBP229m).
The amortisation and impairment of intangible assets totalled for
the group GBP318m (2021: GBP247m).
Impairment testing
The group's annual impairment test in respect of goodwill
allocated to each CGU is performed at 1 October each year. A review
for indicators of impairment is undertaken at 30 June and 31
December. At 31 December 2022, this review did not identify any
indicators of impairment. As a result, no impairment test has been
performed at 31 December 2022.
Basis of the recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of all CGUs to which goodwill has been
allocated was equal to its VIU at each respective testing date. The
VIU is calculated by discounting management's cash flow projections
for the CGU. At 1 October 2022, all CGUs supporting goodwill had a
VIU larger than their respective carrying amounts. The key
assumptions used in the VIU calculation for each CGU are discussed
below.

The group's CGUs do not carry on their balance sheets any
significant intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, other
than goodwill.
Management's judgement in estimating the cash flows of a CGU
The cash flow projections for each CGU are based on the forecast
profitability plans approved by management and minimal capital
levels required to support the business operations of a CGU.
Management challenges and endorses planning assumptions in light of
internal capital allocation decisions necessary to support HSBC
UK's strategy, current market conditions and macroeconomic outlook
including climate risk. For the 1 October 2022 impairment test,
cash flow projections until the end of 2027 were considered, in
line with internal planning horizon. As required by IFRSs,
estimates of future cash flows exclude estimated cash inflows or
outflows that are expected to arise from restructuring initiatives
before an entity has a constructive obligation to carry out the
plan, and would therefore have recognised a provision for
restructuring costs.
Discount Rate
The rate used to discount the cash flows is based on the cost of
equity assigned to each CGU, which is derived using a CAPM and
market implied cost of equity. The impacts of climate-risk are
included to the extent that they are observable in discount rates
and asset prices.
Long-term growth rate
The long-term growth rate is used to extrapolate the cash flows
in perpetuity because of the long-term perspective within the group
of business units making up the CGUs. The long-term growth rate
reflects inflation for the UK.
Sensitivities of key assumptions in calculating VIU
At 1 October 2022, there were no CGUs deemed sensitive to
reasonably possible adverse changes in key assumptions supporting
the recoverable amounts. In making an estimate of reasonably
possible changes to assumptions, management considers the available
evidence in respect of each input into the VIU calculation, such as
the external range of discount rates observable, historical
performance against forecast and risks attaching to the key
assumptions underlying cash flow projections.

Customer remediation
Payment protection insurance
At 31 December 2022, GBP74m (31 December 2021: GBP128m) of the
customer remediation provision relates to the estimated liability
for redress in respect of the possible mis-selling of PPI policies
in previous years. Payments totalling GBP27m were made during 2022,
and additional provision reductions were made of GBP27m.
Although the deadline for bringing complaints has passed,
customers can still commence litigation for PPI mis-selling.
Provision has been made for the best estimate of any obligation to
pay compensation in respect of future litigation. However, the
volume and merits of future litigation, and the amount of any
compensation to be paid, remain uncertain and based upon a number
of assumptions.
Restructuring costs
The restructuring costs provision is for costs associated with
the group's transformation programme.
Legal proceedings and regulatory matters
Further details of 'Legal proceedings and regulatory matters'
are set out in Note 26. Legal proceedings include civil court,
arbitration or tribunal proceedings brought against the group
(whether by way of claim or counterclaim), or civil disputes that
may, if not settled, result in court, arbitration or tribunal
proceedings. Regulatory matters refer to investigations, reviews
and other actions carried out by, or in response to the actions of,
regulatory or law enforcement agencies in connection with alleged
wrongdoing.

commitments
--------------------------------------------------------------
The following table provides an analysis of consolidated total
assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments by residual
contractual maturity at the balance sheet date. These balances are
included in the maturity analysis as follows:
-- Trading derivatives are included in the 'Due not more than 1
month' time bucket, because trading balances are typically held for
short periods of time.
-- Financial assets and liabilities with no contractual maturity
(such as equity securities) are included in the 'Due over 5 years'
time bucket. Undated or perpetual instruments are classified based
on the contractual notice period which the counterparty of the
instrument is entitled to give. Where there is no contractual
notice period, undated or perpetual contracts are included in the
'Due over 5 years' time bucket.
-- Non-financial assets and liabilities with no contractual
maturity are included in the 'Due over 5 years' time bucket.
-- Loan and other credit-related commitments are classified on
the basis of the earliest date they can be drawn down.

Contractual maturity of financial liabilities
The following table shows, on an undiscounted basis, all cash
flows relating to principal and future coupon payments (except for
derivatives not treated as hedging derivatives). For this reason,
balances in the table below do not agree directly with those in our
consolidated balance sheet and the bank's balance sheet.
Undiscounted cash flows payable in relation to hedging derivative
liabilities are classified according to their contractual
maturities. Derivatives not treated as hedging derivatives are
included in the 'Due not more than 1 month' time bucket and not by
contractual maturity.
In addition, loans and other credit-related commitments,
financial guarantees and similar contracts are generally not
recognised on our balance sheet. The undiscounted cash flows
potentially payable under loan and other credit-related commitments
and financial guarantees are classified on the basis of the
earliest date they can be called.

22 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
--------------------------------------------------------
In the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities,
the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the offsetting
criteria is met. This is achieved when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
In the following table, the 'Amounts not set off in the balance
sheet' include transactions where:
-- the counterparty has an offsetting exposure with the group
and a master netting or similar arrangement is in place with a
right to set off only in the event of default, insolvency or
bankruptcy, or the offset criteria are otherwise not satisfied;
and
-- cash and non-cash collateral (debt securities) has been
received/pledged for derivatives and reverse repurchase/repurchase,
stock borrowing/lending and similar agreements to cover net
exposure in the event of a default or other predetermined
events.
The effect of over-collateralisation is excluded.
'Amounts not subject to enforceable master netting agreements'
include contracts executed in jurisdictions where the rights of set
off may not be upheld under the local bankruptcy laws, and
transactions where a legal opinion evidencing enforceability of the
right of offset may not have been sought, or may have been unable
to obtain.
For risk management purposes, the net amounts of loans and
advances to customers are subject to limits, which are monitored
and the relevant customer agreements are subject to review and
updated, as necessary, to ensure that the legal right of offset
remains appropriate.

1 At 31 December 2022, the amount of cash margin paid that had
been offset against the gross derivatives liabilities was GBP1,123m
(2021: GBP219m).
2 At 31 December 2022, the total amount of 'Loans and advances
to customers' recognised on the balance sheet was GBP204,143m
(2021: GBP195,526m) of which GBP3,380m (2021: GBP3,041m) was
subject to offsetting.
3 At 31 December 2022, the total amount of 'Customer accounts'
recognised on the balance sheet was GBP281,095m (2021: GBP281,870m)
of which GBP6,882m (2021: GBP5,696m) was subject to offsetting.
4 These exposures continue to be secured by financial
collateral, but we may not have sought or been able to obtain a
legal opinion evidencing enforceability of the right of offset.
5 The disclosure has been enhanced in 2022 to support
consistency across HSBC Group entities. All financial instruments
(whether recognised on our balance sheet or as non-cash collateral
received or pledged) are presented within 'financial instruments,
including non-cash collateral', as balance sheet classification has
no effect on the rights of set-off associated with financial
instruments. Comparative data have been re-presented
accordingly.

The bank has issued capital instruments that are included in the
group's capital base as fully CRR II compliant additional tier 1
capital.
Interest on these instruments will be due and payable only at
the sole discretion of the bank, and the bank has sole and absolute
discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or
in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on
any date. There are limitations on the payment of principal,
interest or other amounts if such payments are prohibited under UK
banking regulations, or other requirements, if the bank has
insufficient distributable items or if the bank fails to satisfy
the solvency condition as defined in the instruments terms.
The instruments are undated and are repayable, at the option of
the bank, in whole at the initial call date, or on any Interest
Payment Date after the initial call date. In addition, the
instruments are repayable at the option of the bank in whole for
certain regulatory or tax reasons. Any repayments require the prior
notification to and consent of the PRA. These instruments rank pari
passu with the bank's most senior class or classes of issued
preference shares and therefore ahead of ordinary shares. These
instruments will be written down in whole, together with any
accrued but unpaid interest if either the group's solo or
consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio falls below
7.00%.

1 Financial guarantees contracts are contracts that require the
issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a
loss incurred because a specified debtor fails to make payment when
due, in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt
instrument. The amounts in the above table are nominal principal
amounts.
2 Includes GBP68bn (2021: GBP67bn) for the group and GBP54bn
(2021: GBP54bn) for the bank of commitments to which the impairment
requirements in IFRS 9 are applied where the group and bank has
become party to an irrevocable commitment.
The preceding table discloses the nominal principal amounts of
off-balance sheet liabilities and commitments for the group, which
represents the maximum amounts at risk should the contracts be
fully drawn upon and clients default. As a significant portion of
guarantees and commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total of the nominal principal amounts is not
indicative of future liquidity requirements. The expected credit
loss provision relating to guarantees and commitments under IFRS 9
is disclosed in Note 19.
The majority of the guarantees have a term of less than one
year, while guarantees with terms of more than one year are subject
to the group's annual credit review process.
Contingent liabilities arising from legal proceedings,
regulatory and other matters against group companies are excluded
from this note but are disclosed in Note 26.
Financial Services Compensation Scheme
The FSCS provides compensation, up to certain limits, to
eligible customers of financial services firms that are unable, or
likely to be unable, to pay claims against them. The FSCS may
impose a further levy on HSBC UK to the extent the industry levies
imposed to date are not sufficient to cover the compensation due to
customers in any future possible collapse. The ultimate FSCS levy
to the industry as a result of a collapse cannot be estimated
reliably. It is dependent on various uncertain factors including
the potential recovery of assets by the FSCS, changes in the level
of protected products (including deposits and investments) and the
population of FSCS members at the time. In December 2022, the FCA
announced that it expects to review various elements of the scheme
to ensure consumers are appropriately and proportionately
protected, with costs distributed across industry levy payers in a
fair and sustainable way, with a view to deliver the majority of
changes by the end of the 2023/24 financial year.
UK branches of HSBC overseas entities
In December 2017, HM Revenue & Customs ('HMRC') challenged
the VAT status of certain UK branches of HSBC overseas entities. In
Q1 2019, HMRC reaffirmed its assessment that the UK branches are
ineligible to be members of the UK VAT group and HSBC filed
appeals. In February 2022, the Upper Tribunal issued a judgment
addressing several preliminary legal issues, which was partially in
favour of HMRC and partially in favour of HSBC. The case will now
return to the First-tier Tax Tribunal for full trial and we await
confirmation of the trial window. Since January 2018, HSBC's
returns have been prepared on the basis that the UK branches are
not in the UK VAT group. In the event that HSBC is successful, HSBC
will seek a refund of this VAT, of which GBP170m in estimated to be
attributable to HSBC UK Bank plc.
25 Finance lease receivables
-------------------------
The group leases a variety of assets to third parties under
finance leases, including transport assets, property and general
plant and machinery. At the end of lease terms, assets may be sold
to third parties or leased for further terms. Rentals are
calculated to recover the cost of assets less their residual value,
and earn finance income.

26 Legal proceedings and regulatory matters
----------------------------------------
The group is party to legal proceedings and regulatory matters
arising out of its normal business operations. Apart from the
matters described below, the group considers that none of these
matters are material. The recognition of provisions is determined
in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1. While
the outcomes of legal proceedings and regulatory matters are
inherently uncertain, management believes that, based on the
information available to it, appropriate provisions have been made
in respect of these matters at 31 December 2022. Where an
individual provision is material, the fact that a provision has
been made is stated and quantified. Any provision recognised does
not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or legal liability. It is
not practicable to provide an aggregate estimate of potential
liability for our legal proceedings and regulatory matters as a
class of contingent liabilities.
Film finance litigation
In June 2020, two separate investor groups issued claims against
HSBC UK (as successor to HSBC Private Bank (UK) Limited ('PBGB'))
in the High Court of England and Wales in connection with PBGB's
role in the development of Eclipse film finance schemes. These
actions are ongoing.
In April 2021, HSBC UK (as successor to PBGB) was served with a
claim issued in the High Court of England and Wales in connection
with PBGB's role in the development of the Zeus film finance
schemes. In October 2022, this claim was discontinued.
Based on the facts currently known, it is not practicable to
predict the resolution of the pending matters, including the timing
or any possible impact on HSBC UK, which could be significant.
PPI
Although the FCA deadline for bringing PPI complaints has
passed, customers can still commence litigation for PPI
mis-selling. Further details are contained in Note19.
Other regulatory investigations, reviews and litigation
HSBC UK and/or certain of its affiliates are also subject to a
number of other investigations and reviews by various regulators
and competition and law enforcement authorities, as well as
litigation, in connection with various matters relating to the
firm's businesses and operations, including:
-- an investigation by the PRA in connection with depositor
protection arrangements in the UK; and
-- an investigation by the FCA in connection with collections
and recoveries operations in the UK.
There are many factors that may affect the range of outcomes,
and the resulting financial impact, of these matters, which could
be significant.
27 Related party transactions
--------------------------
The immediate and ultimate parent company of the group is HSBC
Holdings plc, which is incorporated in England.
Copies of the Group financial statements may be obtained from
the following address:
HSBC Holdings plc
8 Canada Square
London E14 5HQ
The group's related parties include the parent, fellow
subsidiaries, joint ventures, post-employment benefit plans for
HSBC UK employees, KMP of the Company and its ultimate parent
company, HSBC Holdings plc, close family members of KMP and
entities which are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly
influenced by KMP or their close family members.
Particulars of transactions between the group and its related
parties are tabulated below in accordance with IAS 24 'Related
party disclosures'. The disclosure of the year-end balance and the
highest amounts outstanding during the year are considered to be
the most meaningful information to represent the amount of the
transactions and outstanding balances during the year.
Key Management Personnel
The KMP of the Company are defined as those persons having
authority and responsibility for planning, directing and
controlling the activities of the Company and the group, and
include the Directors of the Company, certain senior executives of
the Company, directors of HSBC Holdings plc and certain senior
executives of HSBC Holdings plc. The emoluments of those KMP who
are not directors or senior executives of the Company are paid by
other Group companies who make no recharge to the Company. It is
therefore not possible to make a reasonable apportionment of their
emoluments in respect of services they have provided to the Company
during the year. Accordingly, no emoluments in respect of these KMP
are included in the following disclosure.
The table below represents the compensation for KMP (Directors
and certain senior executives) of the Company in exchange for
services rendered to the Company for the period they served during
the year.

In addition to the requirements of IAS 24, particulars of
advances (loans and quasi-loans), credits and guarantees entered
into by the bank and its subsidiaries with Directors of the Company
are required to be disclosed pursuant to section 413 of the

0 Where an entity is governed
by voting rights, HSBC consolidates
when it holds - directly or
indirectly - the necessary voting
rights
to pass resolutions by the governing
body. In all other cases, the
assessment of control is more
complex and requires judgement
of other factors, including
having exposure to variability
of
returns, power to direct relevant
activities, and whether power
is
held as an agent or principal.

Reconciliation of alternative performance measures
Return on equity and return on tangible equity
RoTE is computed by adjusting the reported equity for goodwill
and intangibles. The adjustment to reported results and reported
equity excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
We provide RoTE in addition to RoE as a way of assessing our
performance, which is closely aligned to our capital position. The
measures are calculated in US Dollars in line with the standard
HSBC Group wide calculation methodology.
The following table details the adjustments made to the reported
results and equity:

1 Under IAS 19 HSBC UK holds a pension fund surplus, and records
pension income in the Income Statement. The IAS 19 pension fund
surplus increases Tangible Equity but not CET1. In the event that
the IAS 19 pension fund surplus was zero, Tangible equity and
profit would reduce, and Adjusted RoTE would be 19.7% (2021:
17.4%); we refer to this as Pension Adjusted RoTE.
