Forward-looking statements
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking
statements
Certain sections in this document contain 'forward-looking
statements' as that term is defined in the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements that
include the words 'expect', 'estimate', 'project', 'anticipate',
'commit', 'believe', 'should', 'intend', 'will', 'plan', 'could',
'probability', 'risk', 'Value-at-Risk (VaR)', 'target', 'goal',
'objective', 'may', 'endeavour', 'outlook', 'optimistic',
'prospects' and similar expressions or variations on these
expressions. In particular, this document includes forward-looking
targets and guidance relating to financial performance measures,
such as income growth, operating expense, RoTE, ROE, discretionary
capital distribution targets, impairment loss rates, balance sheet
reduction, including the reduction of RWAs, CET1 ratio (and key
drivers of the CET1 ratio including timing, impact and details),
Pillar 2 and other regulatory buffer requirements and MREL and
non-financial performance measures, such as NatWest Group's initial
area of focus, climate and sustainability-related performance
ambitions, targets and metrics, including in relation to
initiatives to transition to a net zero economy, Climate and
Sustainable Funding and Financing (CSFF) and financed emissions. In
addition, this document includes forward-looking statements
relating, but not limited to: implementation of NatWest Group's
strategy (including in relation to: cost-controlling measures, the
Commercial & Institutional segment and achieving a number of
various targets within the relevant timeframe); the timing and
outcome of litigation and government and regulatory investigations;
direct and on-market buy-backs; funding plans and credit risk
profile; managing its capital position; liquidity ratio;

positions.
Limitations inherent to forward-looking statements
These statements are based on current plans, expectations,
estimates, targets and projections, and are subject to significant
inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors, both external and
relating to NatWest Group's strategy or operations, which may
result in NatWest Group being unable to achieve the current plans,
expectations, estimates, targets, projections and other anticipated
outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
In addition, certain of these disclosures are dependent on choices
relying on key model characteristics and assumptions and are
subject to various limitations, including assumptions and estimates
made by management. By their nature, certain of these disclosures
are only estimates and, as a result, actual future results, gains
or losses could differ materially from those that have been
estimated. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on
these statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this
document speak only as of the date we make them and we expressly
disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any
forward-looking statements contained herein, whether to reflect any
change in our expectations with regard thereto, any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based, or otherwise, except to the extent legally
required.
Important factors that could affect the actual outcome of the
forward-looking statements
We caution you that a large number of important factors could
adversely affect our results or our ability to implement our
strategy, cause us to fail to meet our targets, predictions,
expectations and other anticipated outcomes or affect the accuracy
of forward-looking statements described in this document. These
factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the
risk factors and the other uncertainties described in NatWest Group
plc's Annual Report on Form 20-F and its other filings with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission. The principal risks and
uncertainties that could adversely affect NatWest Group's future
results, its financial condition and/or prospects and cause them to
be materially different from what is forecast or expected, include,
but are not limited to: economic and political risk (including in
respect of: political and economic risks and uncertainty in the UK
and global markets, including due to GDP growth, inflation and
interest rates, political uncertainty and instability, supply chain
disruption and geopolitical tensions and armed conflict); changes
in foreign currency exchange rates; uncertainty regarding the
effects of Brexit; and HM Treasury's ownership as the largest
shareholder of NatWest Group plc); strategic risk (including in
respect of the implementation of NatWest Group's strategy; future
acquisitions and divestments (including the phased withdrawal from
ROI), and the transfer of its Western European corporate
portfolio); financial resilience risk (including in respect of:
NatWest Group's ability to meet targets and to make discretionary
capital distributions; the competitive environment; counterparty
and borrower risk; liquidity and funding risks; prudential
regulatory requirements for capital and MREL; reductions in the
credit ratings; the requirements of regulatory stress tests; model
risk; sensitivity to accounting policies, judgements, estimates and
assumptions (and the economic, climate, competitive and other
forward looking information affecting those judgements, estimates
and assumptions); changes in applicable accounting standards; the
value or effectiveness of credit protection; the adequacy of
NatWest Group's future assessments by the Prudential Regulation
Authority and the Bank of England; and the application of UK
statutory stabilisation or resolution powers); climate and
sustainability risk (including in respect of: risks relating to
climate-related and sustainability-related risks; both the
execution and reputational risk relating to NatWest Group's climate
change-related strategy, ambitions, targets and transition plan;
climate and sustainability-related data and model risk; the failure
to implement climate change resilient governance, systems, controls
and procedures; increasing levels of climate, environmental, human
rights and sustainability-related regulation and oversight;
increasing anti-greenwashing regulations; climate, environmental
and sustainability-related litigation, enforcement proceedings
investigations and conduct risk; and reductions in ESG ratings);
operational and IT resilience risk (including in respect of:
operational risks (including reliance on third party suppliers);
cyberattacks; the accuracy and effective use of data; complex IT
systems; attracting, retaining and developing diverse senior
management and skilled personnel; NatWest Group's risk management
framework; and reputational risk); and legal, regulatory and
conduct risk (including in respect of: the impact of substantial
regulation and oversight; the outcome of legal, regulatory and
governmental actions, investigations and remedial undertakings; and
changes in tax legislation or failure to generate future taxable
profits).
Climate and sustainability-related disclosures
Climate and sustainability-related disclosures in this document are
not measures within the scope of International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS'), use a greater number and level of judgements,
assumptions and estimates, including with respect to the
classification of climate and sustainable funding and financing
activities, than our reporting of historical financial information
in accordance with IFRS. These judgements, assumptions and
estimates are highly likely to change materially over time, and,
when coupled with the longer time frames used in these disclosures,
make any assessment of materiality inherently uncertain. In
addition, our climate risk analysis, net zero strategy, including
the implementation of our climate transition plan remain under
development, and the data underlying our analysis and strategy
remain subject to evolution over time. The process we have adopted
to define, gather and report data on our performance on climate and
sustainability-related measures is not subject to the formal
processes adopted for financial reporting in accordance with IFRS
and there are currently limited industry standards or globally
recognised established practices for measuring and defining climate
and sustainability-related metrics. As a result, we expect that
certain climate and sustainability-related disclosures made in this
document are likely to be amended, updated, recalculated or
restated in the future. Please also refer to the cautionary
statement in the section entitled 'Climate-related and other
forward-looking statements and metrics' of the NatWest Group 2023
Climate-related Disclosures Report.
Cautionary statement regarding Non-IFRS financial measures and
APMs
NatWest Group prepares its financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This document may
contain financial measures and ratios not specifically defined
under GAAP or IFRS ('Non-IFRS') and/or alternative performance
measures ('APMs') as defined in European Securities and Markets
Authority ('ESMA') guidelines. Non-IFRS measures and APMs are
adjusted for notable and other defined items which management
believes are not representative of the underlying performance of
the business and which distort period-on-period comparison.
Non-IFRS measures provide users of the financial statements with a
consistent basis for comparing business performance between
financial periods and information on elements of performance that
are one-off in nature. Any Non-IFRS measures and/or APMs included
in this document, are not measures within the scope of IFRS, are
based on a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties
and change, and are not a substitute for IFRS
measures.
The information, statements and opinions contained in this document
do not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation
or an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities or financial instruments or any advice or recommendation
with respect to such securities or other financial
instruments.
