Abstract: LONDON (Standard&Poor's) Feb. 16, 2009--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that its ratings and outlook on U.K. bank Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LBG; A+/Negative/A-1) are unaffected by the pre-announcement on Feb. 13, 2009, of estimated earnings for 2008. LBG was formed in January 2009 upon the completion of Lloyds TSB's acquisition of HBOS PLC (A+/Negative/A-1). The result pre-announcement stated that HBOS made a statutory pretax loss of about £10 billion in 2008, excluding the policyholder tax charge. Lloyds TSB made a statutory pretax profit of about £1.3 billion, excluding the policyholder interests volatility charge. HBOS' performance in 2008 appears weaker than expected, which seems to be principally the result of higher-than-expected impairments on corporate exposures and write-downs
