H1 2026 sets the tone
According to Legal & General, the group reported an IFRS loss of GBP 0.4 billion in H1 2026, after a loss of GBP 0.2 billion in H1 2025. The company also said adjusted operating profit from continuing operations was GBP 0.9 billion in H1 2026, compared with GBP 0.8 billion a year earlier.
Balance sheet pressure matters
That combination matters because the business is still generating more operating profit while the reported loss widened by GBP 0.2 billion year on year. For investors, the gap between adjusted profit and IFRS earnings remains the key point to watch.
