Shortcut’s reasoning.

The six-business build forecasts £7.60bn in income and £2.37bn in pre-tax profit. After tax and AT1 distributions, normalized EPS is £0.1212 per basic ordinary share versus the Street’s £0.12. The units are GBP per share, not pence.

US Consumer Bank average assets and buyback timing remain source-limited assumptions. An illustrative ex-AA asset base lowers EPS by about £0.0013. The scored normalized comparison uses the basic-share basis supported by consensus history; the separate IFRS diluted/GAAP comparison is indicative only.

On the record.
