Excluding own credit adjustments
Results of operations in 2012
2012 saw good progress in terms of risk reduction due to the substantial progress that was made in transferring businesses to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS plc) during 2012. However, RBS Holdings N.V. recorded a loss for the period of €999 million. The loss principally reflected a €2,155 million lower own credit adjustment attributable to the tightening of credit spreads in 2012. In addition net interest income and fee and commission income decreased following the transfer of businesses to RBS plc in 2012, particularly reflecting interest income reductions in International Banking.
These decreases were partially offset by lower impairment losses. The large impairment losses in 2011 related to Greek sovereign available-for-sale bonds and related interest rate hedge adjustments as a result of Greece's continuing fiscal difficulties. In the first half of 2012, as part of Private Sector Involvement in the Greek government bail-out, the vast majority of this portfolio was exchanged for Greek sovereign debt and European Financial Stability Facility notes; the Greek sovereign debt received in the exchange was sold.
Total equity as at the 31 December 2012 was €1.8 billion, a decrease of €1.6 billion compared to 31 December 2011. RBSH Group's Tier 1 ratio of 13.9% is higher than the end of 2011 in the face of challenging economic headwinds and continuing costs of de-risking. This has been achieved through a continued focus on reshaping the RBSH Group's use of capital and as a result of de-risking RBSH Group through the transfer of businesses to RBS plc.
The RBS Holdings N.V. 2012 Annual Report and Accounts is available on the RBS website (www.RBS.com).
