Reports Q4 revenue down 11% to $13B, due the impact of 4Q23 impairment relating to the sale of its retail banking operations in France, disposal losses relating to repositioning and risk management activities in our hold-to-collect and sell portfolio and the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Argentina. Noel Quinn, Group Chief Executive, said: “Our record profit performance in 2023 enabled us to reward our shareholders with our highest full-year dividend since 2008, three share buy-backs last year totaling $7bn, and a further share buy-back of up to $2bn. This reflected four years of hard work and the strength of our balance sheet in a higher interest rate environment. We have a strong platform for growth with the opportunities that exist within our two home markets and across our international wholesale, market-leading transaction banking, and wealth management businesses. We are focused on capturing these growth opportunities, improving our earnings sustainability and targeting mid-teens returns in 2024.”
