Bill Winters, Group Chief Executive, said: “We delivered another strong quarter, with broad-based growth across our businesses and year-to-date earnings per share up 27%. We have long believed that the structural shifts in trade, investment and wealth creation would create significant opportunities for Standard Chartered, and our performance this quarter provides further evidence that we are capturing them. The consistency and breadth of our performance reflects the strength of our franchise and disciplined execution across the Group. This gives us confidence to raise our 2026 income guidance, and we now expect to deliver a RoTE of around 14% in 2026.” Selected information on Q3'26 financial performance with comparisons to Q3'25 unless otherwise stated • Operating income of $5.8bn, up 14 per cent, excluding notables2 – Net interest income1 (NII) up 9 per cent to $3.0bn; driven by volumes and improved balance sheet mix – Non-interest income1 of $2.8bn up 19 per cent; driven by strong momentum in Wealth Solutions and Global Markets – Wealth Solutions up 26 per cent, with broad-based growth in Investment Products and Bancassurance – Global Markets up 21 per cent, driven by double-digit growth in both flow and episodic income • Operating expenses of $3.4bn increased 9 per cent, also excluding notables2, largely driven by targeted investments for business growth, while maintaining positive income-to-cost jaws • Credit impairment charge down $98m to $90m, reflecting a $24m net release in Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) and a $114m charge in Wealth & Retail Banking (WRB), which was broadly flat. • Profit before tax of $2.3bn, up 29 per cent • Return on Tangible Equity (RoTE) of 15.7 per cent, up 520bps • Balance sheet remains strong, liquid and well diversified with underlying loans and advances to customers up 4.1 per cent and underlying customer deposits were broadly flat quarter-on-quarter • Risk-weighted assets (RWA) of $263.3bn, up $1.8bn since 30.6.26; Credit risk RWA up $2.9bn, Market risk RWA down $1.1bn, and Operational risk RWA flat • The Group remains strongly capitalised with Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.8 per cent, down 31 bps quarter-on-quarter • Tangible net asset value per share of $17.26, up 2 per cent.

Group Chief Financial Officer’s review Summary of financial performance All commentary that follows is on a reported basis and comparisons are made to the equivalent period in 2025 on a constant currency basis, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Page 4 for comparisons on a reported basis. We delivered a strong performance in the third quarter. Operating income grew 14 per cent year-on-year to $5.8 billion, driven by a third successive record quarter in Wealth Solutions, along with strong growth in Global Markets and Global Banking. Operating expenses increased 9 per cent year-on-year, resulting in improved operating leverage with positive income-to-cost jaws of 5 per cent. Credit impairment halved to $90 million, equivalent to an annualised loan-loss rate of 9 basis points. Reported profit before tax was $2.3 billion, up 29 per cent year-on-year, resulting in a 55 per cent increase in earnings per share to 68.9 cents. The Group remains strongly capitalised and highly liquid. The liquidity coverage ratio of 154 per cent reflects disciplined balance sheet management. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 13.8 per cent, towards the top end of our guided range, with profit accretion funding an ordinary share buyback that was launched on 29th July 2026, while risk-weighted assets remained tightly managed. Adjusted net interest income1 increased by 9 per cent year-on-year, as the benefits of higher volumes were partly offset by the impact of lower interest rates and headwinds from WRB portfolio optimisation actions. Adjusted non-interest income1 grew 19 per cent, driven by record Wealth Solutions performance and strong growth in Global Markets, supported by sustained momentum in flow income. There was also strong growth in Transaction Services with broad-based growth across product classes and Global Banking benefitting from strong deal execution and sustained momentum in debt capital markets activity. Operating expenses increased 9 per cent year-on-year, primarily driven by business growth initiatives, including frontline hiring and affluent investments, along with increased technology support and infrastructure costs. Variable compensation was higher in the light of strong income and profit growth. The increase in expenses was in part funded by Fit For Growth efficiencies. Credit impairment of $90 million, down $98 million year-on-year, reflecting CIB portfolio releases partly offset by $34 million of net c h a r g e f r o m o v e r l a y s r e l a t i n g t o t h e M i d d l e E a s t c o n f l i c t . W R B i m p a i r m e n t r e m a i n e d b r o a d l y s t a b l e . T h e a n n u a l i s e d l o a n ‑ l o s s r a t e was 9 basis points for the quarter and is 20 basis points year-to-date. Losses from associates and joint ventures totalled $23 million, due to a combination of losses on investments mostly within Ventures. Taxation was $0.5 billion, with an effective tax rate of 21.7 per cent, down 5 percentage points on the prior year, reflecting improved UK profitability, lower non-deductible expenses and reduced withholding tax. RoTE strengthened to 15.7 per cent, up 520 basis points, reflecting the increased profits. Basic earnings per share (EPS) increased 55 per cent to 69 cents, reflecting both the increase in profits and the reduction in share count following the execution of successive share buyback programmes.

Transaction Services income rose 9 per cent year-on-year, led by strong growth in Securities & Prime Services, supported by improved Payments & Liquidity and Trade & Working Capital performance. Payments & Liquidity income grew 8 per cent, supported by fee momentum and disciplined pricing leading to increased margins. Trade & Working Capital income increased 7 per cent, with strong fee growth and higher volumes offset by margin compression from capital optimisation actions. Securities & Prime Services income rose 18 per cent, driven by strong fee momentum, higher custody balances and client volumes. Global Banking grew 7 per cent. Lending & Financing Solutions income increased 10 per cent, on the back of growth in both loan origination and distribution volumes. Capital Markets & Advisory income declined by 4 per cent due to slower M&A activity, partly offset by strong debt capital markets activity. Global Markets delivered a strong performance, with income up 21 per cent. Flow income grew 21 per cent, driven by strong client activity as we continued to capture market opportunities across our footprint and episodic income increased 13 per cent. Wealth Solutions delivered a third consecutive record quarter, with income up 26 per cent, supported by broad-based momentum across products and geographies. Investment Products rose 28 per cent and Bancassurance grew 18 per cent, in part benefitting from the quarterly phasing of commissions from our Bancassurance partners. Affluent net new money balances were a record $20 billion, driven by proactive client engagement and strong new-to-bank affluent client onboarding. Deposits & Mortgages income was down by 1 per cent year-on-year. There was solid growth in deposit income, supported by strong growth in both CASA and term deposit balances, and higher interest rates in a number of markets. Mortgage income was materially lower, driven by the impact of the Best Lending Rate cap in Hong Kong restricting the ability to reprice mortgages, despite an increase in funding costs from higher interest rates, partly offset by volume growth. Credit Cards and Personal Loans (CCPL) & Other Unsecured Lending income was down by 13 per cent mainly on account of tighter credit standards and portfolio optimisation actions that led to the run-down or exit of select off-strategy portfolios. This was partly offset by continued growth in client numbers and volumes within the digital banks Mox and Trust. Treasury & Other increased by $167 million, mainly due to a positive $54 million movement in the Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) compared to negative $27 million in the third quarter of 2025 and an increase in the yield on Treasury securities and swaps relative to cost of funds.

Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) profit before taxation improved 38 per cent. Income grew 16 per cent with a strong Global Markets performance of 21 per cent growth year-on-year, supported by 9 per cent growth in Transaction Services and 7 per cent growth in Global Banking. Expenses were 8 per cent higher, reflecting continued investment in strategic initiatives and the impact of inflation. Credit impairment was a net release of $24 million, an $87 million improvement year-on-year primarily reflecting favourable portfolio movements partly offset by the net charges resulting from overlays relating to the Middle East conflict. Wealth & Retail Banking (WRB) profit before taxation increased 16 per cent, supported by a 10 per cent rise in income led by a record performance in Wealth Solutions. Expenses increased 8 per cent on a headline basis, as continued investment in affluent business growth initiatives and digital capabilities was partly funded by efficiency initiatives. Credit impairment was $114 million, flat compared to the prior year. Central & other items (C&O) recorded a loss before tax of $334 million, an $83 million deterioration year-on-year driven by higher expenses and increased losses from associates and joint ventures.

The net interest margin increased by 9 basis points to 203 basis points, as in a lower interest rate environment, the rate paid on liabilities fell more quickly than the reduction in gross asset yields, reflecting disciplined liability pricing and an improvement in balance sheet mix.

Financial review Compared with the prior quarter, adjusted net interest income increased 3 per cent, as volume growth and the benefit from day count were partly offset by margin headwinds in WRB Term Deposits. The net interest margin was stable. Average interest-earning assets grew 2 per cent over the prior quarter to $580 billion, supported by growth in Wealth Lending and Mortgages within WRB and by the successful execution of a strong pipeline of Global Banking deals. Gross yields improved 9 basis points over the prior quarter reflecting the impact of higher interest rates in key markets. Average interest-bearing liabilities grew 2 per cent over the prior quarter to $634 billion, driven by strong growth in WRB term deposits including flows from Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) scheme in India, partly offset by a reduction in Transaction Services CASA which included the effect of seasonal outflows. The rate paid on liabilities increased by 8 basis points over the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of higher interest rates.

Financial review Credit impairment recorded a net charge of $90 million, down $98 million year-on-year, driven by releases from CIB portfolio movements, partly offset by $34 million of net charge from overlays relating to the Middle East conflict. WRB impairment remained broadly stable. The third quarter charge is equivalent to an annualised loan-loss rate of 9 basis points, while the year-to-date annualised loan-loss-rate is 20 basis points. The non-linearity impact increased from the inclusion of a new downside scenario, in addition to the existing Bank Capital Stress test scenario. This new scenario (enhanced in Q3) considers a prolonged geopolitical crisis in the Middle East, which captures the heightened disruption across the Strait of Hormuz as well as the Red Sea, leading to sustained disruptions in energy, trade and supply chain, and elevated global commodity prices, alongside higher downside probability weightings as the likelihood of these scenarios materialising increased. This reflects an increased probability weighting of the two downside scenarios from 41 per cent as at 31 December 2025 to 60 per cent, while the base forecast probability weighting reduced from 59 per cent as at 31 December 2025 to 40 per cent. In addition, we have taken overlays in relation to the petrochemical and other sectors impacted by high oil prices, selected WRB portfolios being assessed as particularly vulnerable to Middle East-related disruption and for potential sovereign downgrades. Gross Stage 3 loans and advances to customers increased by $0.2 billion to $5.9 billion in the quarter, while credit-impaired loans remained at around 1.9 per cent of gross loans, as new inflows were partly offset by repayments and write-offs. Stage 2 balances decreased by $1.2 billion from 30 June 2026 to $12.6 billion, driven by portfolio movements and overlays related to Stage transfers in CIB, partly offset by higher WRB mortgage balances. The Stage 3 cover ratio increased by 3 percentage points from 30 June 2026 to 58 per cent, while the post-collateral cover ratio also rose by 3 percentage points to 75 per cent, reflecting a 9 per cent increase in Stage 3 provisions compared with a 4 per cent increase in gross Stage 3 loans and advances to customers. Credit grade 12 balances declined 40 per cent from 30 June 2026 to $0.7 billion due to credit grade upgrades and repayments. Early alert balances decreased to $5.2 billion from $5.8 billion at 30 June 2026, mainly due to a reduction in exposures. The Group continues to closely and carefully monitor exposures. The proportion of investment-grade corporate exposures increased by 2 percentage points year-on-year to 77 per cent.

Financial review The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, liquid and well diversified. Loans and advances to customers increased by $16 billion, or 5 per cent from 30 June 2026 to $315.2 billion, reflecting growth across WRB and CIB. Excluding the $4 billion increase from currency translation, the underlying growth was primarily driven by strong momentum in WRB with Wealth Solution Lending in part benefitting from the India Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) scheme and Mortgages growth, as well as strong execution of the Global Banking pipeline within CIB. Customer accounts increased by $6 billion, or 1 per cent from 30 June 2026 to $558.3 billion. Excluding currency translation impacts, customer accounts were broadly flat. There was continued strong growth in WRB particularly in term deposits from sustained Affluent net new money inflows including from the India Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) scheme. This was offset by lower CIB CASA balances from a combination of deliberate balance sheet optimisation actions and temporary client outflows. Other assets decreased by $13 billion or 2 per cent from 30 June 2026 to $635.5 billion, with a $12 billion decrease in cash and balances with Central banks, a $12 billion decrease in unsettled trades and other financial assets, a $4 billion decrease in financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss partly offset by a $6 billion increase in Investment Securities and a $6 billion increase in derivative financial instruments. Other liabilities are flat at $356.4 billion compared to 30 June 2026, with a $9 billion increase in derivative financial instruments, a $5 billion increase in cash collateral, a $4 billion increase in debt securities in issue offset by a $15 billion decrease in unsettled trades and other financial liabilities and a $2 billion decrease in financial liabilities held at fair value through profit and loss. The advances-to-deposits ratio increased to 53.3 per cent from 50.9 per cent as of 30 June 2026. The point-in-time liquidity coverage ratio increased by 6 percentage points in the quarter to 154 per cent and remains well above the minimum regulatory requirement of 100 per cent.

The increase was driven by asset growth and mix of $3.9 billion, primarily in CIB and $1.2 billion inflation from currency translation. This was partially offset by a $1.3 billion reduction related to an improvement in asset quality and $0.9 billion from RWA optimisation actions. • Operational risk RWA remained unchanged in the quarter as the Group is now performing the annual operational risk RWA computation in the fourth quarter of the year. • Market risk RWA decreased by $1.1 billion to $31.1 billion, driven by a decrease in value-at-risk of $1.1 billion and a fall in specific interest rate risk of $1.3 billion to $10.8 billion. This was partially offset by increases in stressed value-at-risk of $0.8 billion, commodities risk under standardised approach of $0.4 billion and structural FX exposure of $0.3 billion.

The Group’s Pillar 2A requirement will be lower following a supervisory review and this will lead to a 30 basis points reduction in the Group’s CET1 requirement from 1 January 2027. The 31 basis points reduction in the CET1 ratio during the quarter was primarily driven by shareholder distributions. Growth in RWA led to a further 10 basis point reduction in the CET1 ratio. These factors were partly offset by 67 basis points increase from profit accretion during the quarter. The Group is part way through the $1.0 billion share buyback programme announced on 29 July 2026, and by 30 September 2026 had spent $484 million purchasing 16 million ordinary shares, reducing the share count by approximately 1 per cent. Although the share buyback was still ongoing as at 30 September 2026, the entire $1.0 billion was deducted from CET1 in the period, equivalent to a 38 basis point reduction in the CET1 ratio. The Group is accruing the foreseeable dividend in respect of the final 2026 ordinary share dividend in the third quarter. This is not an indication of the Group's final 2026 ordinary share dividend, which will be proposed by the Board at the presentation of the 2026 full year results. The increase in the foreseeable dividend for ordinary dividend and AT1 coupons reduced the CET1 ratio by 40 basis points. The Group’s leverage ratio of 4.6 per cent is 11 basis points lower than at 30 June 2026. The Group’s leverage ratio remains significantly above its minimum requirement of 3.7 per cent.

Supplementary financial information Performance highlights • Profit before tax of $1,607 million increased 38 per cent year-on-year, driven by higher operating income and a net impairment release, partly offset by higher operating expenses. • Operating income of $3,395 million increased by 16 per cent year-on-year, driven by growth across Global Markets, Transaction Services, and Global Banking. • Transaction Services income rose 9 per cent year-on-year, with broad-based growth across products. Securities & Prime Services income increased 18 per cent, driven by higher custody balances and client volumes. Payments & Liquidity income grew 8 per cent, with fee momentum and disciplined pricing, mitigating the impact of lower rates. Trade & Working Capital increased 7 per cent, as growth in exposures and fees offset capital optimisation actions. • Global Banking income grew 7 per cent on the back of growth in loan origination and distribution volumes and strong debt capital markets activity, reflecting effective execution of the deal pipeline. • Global Markets income increased 21 per cent year-on-year. Flow income grew 21 per cent, driven by strong client activity as we continued to capture market opportunities across our footprint and episodic income rose 13 per cent year-on-year. • Operating expenses increased 8 per cent, reflecting continued investment in strategic initiatives, inflation linked cost increases and higher performance related variable compensation. • Credit Impairment was a net release of $24 million, an $87 million improvement year-on-year, primarily reflecting favourable portfolio movements, partly offset by $36 million of net charge from overlays relating to the Middle East conflict. • RWAs of $185.5 billion were stable compared to 30 June 2026, with higher credit RWA offset by lower Market RWA.

Wealth Solutions has delivered three consecutive record quarters, supported by broad-based momentum across products and geographies. This performance was underpinned by a record $20 billion of affluent net new money and the acquisition of 76,000 new-to-bank clients during the quarter. Deposits & Mortgages were down by 1 per cent due to margin compression from lower interest rates, largely offset by volume growth and proactive pricing actions. CCPL & Other Unsecured Lending declined 13 per cent, reflecting portfolio optimisation actions, partly offset by growth in Digital Banks. Included within operating income is $11 million of gain on sale of the WRB Sri Lanka business, which is treated as a notable item. • Operating expenses increased by 8 per cent year-on-year, from continued investment in affluent business growth initiatives, including the hiring of affluent relationship managers, uplifting digital capabilities and enhancing client engagement. This was part-funded through efficiency initiatives on branches, off-strategy products and client segments. • Credit impairment was $114 million, flat compared to the prior year, reflecting continued improvement in credit quality following the strategic pivot towards affluent clients and ongoing credit remediation actions. • RWAs increased by $0.6 billion to $58.0 billion since 30 June 2026, primarily reflecting growth in Wealth Lending and Mortgages balances, partly offset by optimisation actions from reducing Unsecured Lending portfolios.

The deterioration was predominantly driven by higher operating expenses, an increase in the share of losses from associates and joint ventures and lower operating income. • Operating income declined 2 per cent year-on-year to a loss of $139 million as lower funding costs were offset by lower Treasury income retained centrally. • Operating expenses increased by 37 per cent to $157 million, driven by a $45 million provision relating to potential legal action regarding a historical transaction in a legacy business. • Losses from associates and joint ventures totalled $23 million, due to a combination of losses on investments mostly within Ventures.

Important notices Forward-looking statements The information included in this document may contain ‘forward-looking statements’ based upon current expectations or beliefs as well as statements formulated with assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, projections, estimates, commitments, plans, approaches, ambitions and targets (including, without limitation, ESG commitments, ambitions and targets). Forward-looking statements often use words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘will’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘plan’, ‘seek’, ‘aim’, ‘continue’ or other words of similar meaning to any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may also (or additionally) be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, and the Group’s plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward- looking statements. Readers should not place reliance on, and are cautioned about relying on, any forward-looking statements. There are several factors which could cause the Group’s actual results and its plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. The factors include (but are not limited to): changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive and market forces or conditions, or in future exchange and interest rates; changes in environmental, geopolitical, social or physical risks; legal, regulatory and policy developments, including regulatory measures addressing climate change and broader sustainability-related issues; the development of standards and interpretations, including evolving requirements and practices in ESG reporting; the ability of the Group, together with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage, and mitigate the impacts of climate change and broader sustainability-related issues effectively; risks arising out of health crises and pandemics; risks of cyber attacks, data, information or security breaches or technology failures involving the Group; changes in tax rates or policy; future business combinations or dispositions; and other factors specific to the Group, including those identified in Standard Chartered PLC’s Annual Report and the financial statements of the Group. To the extent that any forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on past or current trends and/or activities of the Group, they should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. No statement in this document is intended to be, nor should be interpreted as, a profit forecast or to imply that the earnings of the Group for the current year or future years will necessarily match or exceed the historical or published earnings of the Group. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date that it is made. Except as required by any applicable laws or regulations, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement contained within this document, regardless of whether those statements are affected as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Please refer to Standard Chartered PLC’s Annual Report and the financial statements of the Group for a discussion of certain of the risks and factors that could adversely impact the Group’s actual results, and cause its plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Non-IFRS performance measures and alternative performance measures This document may contain: (a) financial measures and ratios not specifically defined under: (i) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (Accounting Standards) as adopted by the European Union; or (ii) UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (IAS); and/or (b) alternative performance measures as defined in the European Securities and Market Authority guidelines. Such measures may exclude certain items which management believes are not representative of the underlying performance of the business and which distort period-on-period comparison. These measures are not a substitute for IAS or IFRS measures and are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and change. For further information, please refer to Standard Chartered PLC’s Annual Report and the financial statements of the Group and, specifically in relation to adjusted net interest income and adjusted non-interest income, please refer to the footnote beneath the “Net interest income and n o n ‑ i n t e r e s t i n c o m e ” s e c t i o n o n p a g e 4 o f t h i s d o c u m e n t .
