  • Interim Results Announcement 2019
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION CYBG PLC (the ‘Company’), together with its subsidiary undertakings (which together comprise the ‘Group’), operate under the Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank, B and Virgin Money brands. It offers a range of banking services for both retail and business customers through retail branches, business banking centres, direct and online channels, and brokers. This release covers the results of the Group for the six months ended 31 March 2019. Statutory basis: Statutory information is set out on pages 43 to 79. The IFRS 9 accounting standard replaced IAS 39 (‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’), introducing changes to the classification and measurement of financial instruments and the impairment of financial assets. Virgin Money adopted IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 and CYBG on 1 October 2018. Pro forma results: On 15 October 2018, the Company acquired all the voting rights in Virgin Money Holdings (UK) plc (Virgin Money) by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006, with the transaction being accounted for as an acquisition of Virgin Money. We believe that it is helpful to also provide additional information which is more readily comparable with the historic results of the combined businesses. Therefore we have also prepared Pro forma results for the Group as if CYBG PLC and Virgin Money had always been a Combined Group, in order to assist in explaining trends in financial performance by showing a full 6 months performance for the Combined Group for both the current period and prior period, as well as a full 12 month performance of the Combined Group for the most recent year end results.
