Lloyds reported an after tax profit of 1.2 billion pounds for the period, slightly below expectations of 1.39 billion pounds according to a company-provided average of analyst forecasts, but up from 1.15 billion pounds the previous year.

The bank’s core capital ratio - a key measure of a bank’s financial strength - increased three basis points to 14.2 percent quarter-on-quarter.
